Re: Update from long lost Kayla....From: Ana (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sun May 19 17:11:25 2002
Kayla, I wanted to let you know I could relate to the whole mom thing. It took me passing out on the family room floor from being in so much pain for her to realize I wasn't "playing sick". Evidently I had been playing sick for at least 4 years if not 8. Anyways, my mom felt horendous about the situation and the fact she blew it off for so long. So what she did (I just found this out a few weeks ago) was become active in the crusade against endo, and she did this without me ever knowing. She researched, she called my dr regularly (even went to lunch with him one day) and she participated every year in the walk in March. Hopefully one day I will be able to convince her to start up a support group for family members of people with endo. Good luck with everything hun. I will be praying for you. *HUGS* ~ANA
>----- Original Message ----- Hey Angelgals! It's Kayla and I am truly alive. My life has been extremely hetic recently and will only increase as the summer goes on. A week from this past Friday, I went back to my gyno at home because of the severe cramps that sent me to the ER at college not once BUT twice and almost more! She did an exam and she found that the pain is concentrated on my left ovary. She attempted to do a transvaginal ultrasound but nothing was showing b/c she said that I "had alot of gas". I am not sure if I believe that or not....but the pain is somewhat undercontrol, as long as I never have another period then it sets it off weeks before and weeks after and I am miserable. Right now, I am on Orthocylcen, with not taking the placebos and just skipping my period. I can't physically and emotionally deal with those cramps any longer. My gyno suggested doing a lap to remove any scar tissue and any other possible "stuff". SHe isn't to sure whether it has to do with just my female organs but w/ also my bowel and colon. My next appointment, 5/30 we will determine whether I will go ahead and have the lap. I will also have another ultrasound and God hoping she will be able to see things! I am just sick of this and really sick of being sick. The family physician that I trusted most in the practice that I went to is now moving to Florida so I am lost for a family physician.....He's the one that first pointed out to me that it wasn't normal to be in that much pain. Going back to the whole HS education, I was never told about Endo let alone the emphasis of seeing a gyno. From what my mother would say and the nurse at school, I just began to think that it was normal or all up in my head. My mom feels horrible for not believing me for so long, it took two giagantic tumors to grow inside of my uterus for her to notcie! AHHHH! I would love to help teach teens about ENdo and other conditions like this. I am considering going into the PA program at a nearby hospital. It's suppose to be one of the best programs and the "fastest growing job" in the near future. Most likely, I would go into pediatrics or obgyn,maybe family...most likely peds or obgyn. Anyone heard anything about this field? Bad? Good? WHat's it like? Expectations? Education? THanks angels, you are all great!
