Hello to all the Angels out there!From: Angie (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sun Apr 21 07:18:18 2002
Hi Angels! I'm recently new to this forum.. haven't really posted too much .. just been browsing.. I'm 23 yrs old and have had endo since 16... After consisently going to a doctor for 2 years my mother convinced him to do a lap (She insisted I had endo, considering she went thru it for 20 yrs before having a hyst)Skeptically, he agreed although he thought the pain was all in my head. That was in 1997.... And I was full of it.. he removed it and it hasn't gotten better since.. The pain hasn't gotten better since then.. and I can honestly tell you that I've never known sex without pain. It's gotten worse and worse thru my periods.. I now have to wear 3 pads at one time, change them every 45 minutes and STILL manage to bleed all over everything. I cannot maintain a steady job and cry almost consistently... It used to be the pain was only during my periods... but the past month (without a period) it has gotten horrible. It is now constant, every day.. I've been into the ER twice with the same result... "There is nothing I can do" and they give me a shot of Demeral and send me on my way to take tylenol if any other pain occurs... Well I am quite frankly fed up.. I don't have a OB/GYN in my area because every doctor I go to either suggests birth control (which gives me horrible side effects) and Lupron which I have been very skeptical about (and after reading all I can on the net and finding out that it is basically a temp. solution since you cant take it for more than 6 mths at one time).. Why would I put myself thru those side effects for a 50% chance of getting better and than only for 6 months? I recently have gotten married and my husband and I are not emotionally or financially ready for a child and most of the docs get angry when I mention that ... Their response "DO YOU WANT THE PAIN TO GO AWAY???" Yes but not at the cost of bringing a child into the world JUST TO GET RID OF THE PAIN! I mean doctors are suppose to HELP YOU right? HELP YOU?? Shouldn't I have a say in MY Treatment since it is MY BODY! So Angels, I'm sitting here typing hunched over with my best friend in the whole world, my heating pad.. crying in agony... wondering if someone, somehwere will ever help.. and help me ease the pain... but GOD FORBID if I ask for pain medication, I MUST BE A JUNKIE!! It's frustrating.. I've decided to contact Dr. Koh and Janik I believe that is how u spell it and try the excise surgery... I don't know what else to do.. and hoping that will.. but have been let down many times before.. Trust me when I say I symphathize with all of you dear Angels.. I know what you go thru every day... and give all the strength I have to being there for everyone.. Thank you for listening.. and hopes of no more sleepless nights..
-- Angie
