Jules,
thanks so much for the info-The Dr did suggest adenomyosis. I did read
up on this somewhat. I didn't find that all my symptoms correspond?
Like the headache and nausea. What I do know is is i just keep feeling
more and more nauseous, bigger headaches and sooo tired. The headaches
and nausea come and go throughout the day. I am so frustrated... Could
they be from the otho evra patch?? I go for a dr visit while
menstruating next-=why is that. He does do ultrasounds in office-would
he be doing that???
