Re: Endo Angels, Just Look at Yourselves

I think you have the wrong Amy. I don't believe I have been bickering w/ anyone. I'm trying to offer encouragement. Kelli Martin <anonymous@obgyn.net> wrote:

First of all, Amy, you keep offering all of your support. Because their are alot of people who have remembered your encouragement when they were at the end of their ropes.

I have stage 4 endo. I have had 4 laps and have experimented with every BCB known to man. Lupron did not help me, but only made my current situation worse. Pain killers, as much as I hate taking them because I am a senior in college and taking 18 hours each semester, have become my best friend in times of severe pain. I am 23 years old and have already made peace with the fact that any children in my future will be from adoption. I am fine with that now.

For the past couple of weeks, I have been reading the MANY emails that have wasted both time and space on this forum. To the women that are bickering on a SUPPORT forum that many women and men use to help them with this disease, you should be ashamed of yourselves. I know that many of you are fed up with Lupron and disgusted at how they use this forum, along with others, to promote the product. I was also tormented by this drug and actually considered methods of ending all of my pain for good. But, it was this help forum and the postings by other women who were experiencing the same thing that got me through it. No, Lupron did not help me. But, there are many women with endo and men with prostate cancer who have been helped by it. Yes, I am jealous that they have relief from this awful drug. But, I am also happy for them. Not hating them.

If you analyze anything enough, you can find something wrong with everything to gripe about. OR... You can try to look at the good things and go from there. For anyone who has been discouraged by this forum because of the mess some have made of it these past couple of weeks, I sincerely say " I am sorry". I know about the days that the world seems against me and my disease. I know about the feelings of complete isolation and misunderstanding of other people. I like to consider myself a very strong woman. There are days when the pain is too much to bare and I feel like a little whiny child. But, this forum has helped me so much the past few years. I cannot explain the feeling I get when I read postings from other women about the exact same thing that I am or have gone through and I know that there is someone else out there who actually knows my pain personally.

For those of you who have taken your anger and pain out on this SUPPORT forum, take a long look at yourselves. You should weigh the good vs. the bad that this forum has brought into your lives. If you can honestly say that you have gotten more bad than good, then just leave the site and don't ever look back. But, if you realize that this forum has helped you more than it has hendered you, let this bickering go and offer your greatly needed support to all the world.
