Re: So much pain--please help

Dear Theresa,
Ultram is a good pain medicine and will not make you spacey. It will
interfere a lot less than the homone inhibitors like danazol and lupron.
I also have pain down my legs that I am fairly sure is Endo. I have not
heard of wery many women with leg pain--just a handful.
When my kids were little I just took Advil. However I didn't sleep
much. If you pray, God will supply to your children whatever you
cannot. He sure did with my kids.
Sincerely, Patzy <patzy@tennis.com>
