Hello,
I am sorry that you are suffering so badly from this disease. I can't
really offer any info other than to tell you to ask your doctor to
prescribe Aygestin/Norethindrone. This drug stops your period
COMPLETELY,which slows down the endo/adhesion growth process. Some
women have different reactions to the drug like depression. I myself
love it and have no symptoms at all. I am still in a hell of a lot of
pain, however. Good luck
