Thanks I have another Dr. Appt. on Nov.4th I think I will talk to my
dr. about it then. I have not been taking the vicodins I 'v only been
taking an advil and tylenol together and the see to help without making
me goofy. We are TTC so I don't want to do the lupron shot right now as
I am 34 and don't want to wait much longer to have another baby. I am
just scared that this disease will get worse as time goes on and it will
cut drastically into my family life. Thanks for your advice.
