Few QuestionsFrom: amanda (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sat Jul 28 00:47:01 2001
Hello Angels. I've got a few questions if anyone can possibly help me out. I was diagnosed with endo a year ago, have suffered for almost 11 years now. I had a diagnostic lap done in Aug 2000 and started taking depo-provera after that. It helped for about 2 weeks, then quit. I was only supposed to be on provera for 6 months, but that turned into 10 months. From about 1 year before I was diagnosed, I started having all kinds of medical problems. Most are related to the endo I believe. I've had severe lower back pain, sciatica, gallstones (gallbladder removed feb 2001), rectal bleeding, rib pain and swelling since nov 2000 (been to surgeons and gastronologists with no avail), painful urination, painful bm's, and the list goes on and on. Secondary Parkinsonism was most definately the hardest to deal with. It's a disorder similiar to Parkinson's disease, but caused by the effects of a medication or another disorder. I quit taking all of my medications and am finally rid of most of the symptoms. I still have slight tremor and memory loss, but hopefully they too will return. I was only able to walk with the assistance of person or walker for over 6 months. I have been on every pain med in the book, oxycontin being the strongest. Anyway, now I have quit taking most of my medications. I am currently taking some meds for IC and Depo-Lupron (first shot was on the 13th). Also I am going to started taking another medication for bone loss. I found out Wed. that I have osteopenia (bone loss) and will be taking medication to help with that. By the way I am 22 years old. okay, finally my questions. I had a colonoscopy in Jan and my doctor told me that I had inflammation in my colon with no known cause. I had a cystoscopy (bladder scope) done on the 11th, and it also showed inflammation with no known cause also. I was wondering if this could be endo since endo is also seen as red implants. I'm also wondering if the rib pain and swelling could be endo. My gastronologist seemed to think so, but I'm not sure if he knew too much about endo. I have very little faith in the doctors around here, so was wondering if anyone else thought this was possible, and how I could find out for sure. Thanx alot. Take Care and God Bless, Amanda
