Re: Question here help! - to Portia

Portia, I've been having a lot of pain lately too, from my down ovary
down through my calf. The pain in my ovary is like a very sharp
pinching, and the pain down my leg is a dull ache. I swear, today I
thought I was going to lose my mind. I'm on continuous birth control
pills, and having a period every 4 months, which works out to about 6
packs of pills before a break. 5 weeks ago I had a period, and I felt
amazing from the time I had that period until I finished the first 3
weeks of my new pack. NOW, i'm halfway through my second pack, and I've
been feeling like hell ever since the second pack started. I'm totally
at a loss. I just don't know what to do. Can you please explain what
Colace is? I've never heard of it. If it helps you, I'd LOVE to try it.
As much as I fight it, endo still controls my life, and I really need to
find something else to fall back on. Thanks!
