Thanks Belle,
I did get moved... can't say it went too well, but it's over with,
thank goodness! I love me new place but I really overdid it moving.
Wednesday I lifted something a little too heavy and felt a pull in my
left side around my problem endo/adhesion areas. I was doubled over for
about 5 minutes but the pain then subsided some and I continued on with
moving stuff. Well since then, my back and pelvic area (left side) have
been getting worse and worse. Barely made it through work yesterday and
have stayed in bed all day today so far. The pain pills are hardly even
helping... it's so frustrating because I can't wait to get this new
townhouse looking good. I have so much I want to do, but it just hurts
too much to move. I'm hoping a day in bed will help. I really think
that I either torn an adhesion lose, or maybe ruptured an ovarian cyst
(as I did that one time while exercising and it caused me to bleed, and
I bled this time too.) I've been on Provera for 2 months so I shouldn't
have an ovarian cyst (unless it's been there a month or so....) but that
is sure what it felt like. I just hope and pray this surgery next
Monday helps all of this. Oh, and I also have gum problems. They get
infected all of the time.... swollen and red, and they've receded
really bad for my age. Sometimes I wonder how they are still hanging on
in my mouth. And since I've started the Provera, I had a cavity come up
underneath one of my Veneers (caps). First cavity I've had in years and
years.... I have to wonder if hormonal changes helped that cavity
along.... I think doctors totally underestimate the power of
hormones... whether it be our own natural hormones or the synthetic
ones they prescribe..... I hope your teeth and gums are recovering
well. That had to be a very painful and uncomfortable surgery.... :-/
Thanks for all the work you do in this endo/women's health field. You
have already made such a difference..... :-) Oh, and any estimate of
when we can expect part 2 of the endo series???? You'll never know how
much part 1 has really helped me through all of this and also helped my
family and friends to try and understand... and that is so very
important to me... Thanks!
