Endo surgery shows massive lesions and endoFrom: TeresaR (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon Oct 29 20:18:12 2001
I'm 39 years old. Been trying to get preg since 24 years of age. Not quite ready to "give up" yet. Military sorta forgot to tell me that surgery should be done every 5 years. My last one was 11 years ago. Underwent laser laparosocopy friday. Doctor indicated it was just awful inside. My uterus was attached to the abdominal wall, but has been separated. My ovaries are STILL attached to the abdominal wall. She feels she did next to nothing to reduce my cyclic pain (which can be anything from severe to incapacitating). She could do no more. Only good thing is the tubes are clear. I do not wish to go all the way and have everything removed yet. I see a few articles about alternative treatments, but nothing ABOUT those treatments. Anyone know where I can begin that research? I'm not asking for doc's advice, or diagnosis, or anything like that. I just want to be pointed in a few directions to start research. Last month was the first time I ever thought "just take it out", and that means I prob have a few more years before I actually go through with it. I really do wish children, and really DO wish to ease this pain. Awful hard to keep a job that every 21-25 days you have to take 3 days off from. They don't like that alot, so I sit at my desk and deal with it. I spent 20 years in the military hiding from the pain, because I believed them when they said they would put me "out" if I had female problems. Common sense told me different, knowledge tells me different, but when you are taught very young to hide the pain, you do just that. But it's getting bad enough that even the men around me can figure out what's wrong. I don't get irritable, I don't cry. I sit there in misery, half doubled over, pretending "my back hurts". Drugs do nothing,,,, well, I take that back, 800mg of motrin every 3 hours works. Darvoset gives me migraines, but works. Percoset makes work not matter, but it works. So I either ruin my stomach, have a migraine, or am unable to work. I'm looking for any OTHER alternatives. Ok, I'm done whining now.... LOL. Been in "whine mode" since today when I talked to my surgeon about my results. Part of me wants to cry, and part of me wants to give up, but another part of me says "fight, and have kids". So anyone willing to point me a way to help me "fight and have kids"?
