Tami - I have had a similiar problem in the past, I have just had to have a total hysterectomy to finally get rid of the periods once and for all (I am 48). What I wanted to tell you is to please be aware that you sound like you are hemorraging and you need to take that kind of bleeding seriously. I would imagine you are also very tired. As I got older my endo got worse and so did my periods. Please make sure you are satisfied the dr. is taking this seriously. Hope your appt. went well - let us know. >Thanks in advance!
