Hi,
Thanks for your replies girls.
I have been off the Pill for a year now, and have since worked off the
weight i gained, but i feel that the pains increasingly got worse when i
got off the pill. i mean they were extremely painful before i was put
on the pill, but now they are crippling, i cant even have a sheet on me
of a night, im just so sensitive. I didnt bleed or spot at all when i
was on the pill continuously, and i did have some relief from the pain
while on it, but not much. No Pain killer can help me for endo/period
pain now, up until recently i was on endone, that failed pretty quickly,
and then i was down at the hosptial every period getting pethadene (sp?)
and when that failed i paid $150 every 2 days to have a spinal
block/epidural (which worked a treat but were so painful going
in)....after a week of doing it, the doctors recommended that it wasnt
healthy to be having them. All of our Hospital care is for free, but i
had to pay for the spinal blocks because it was elective.
I dont think i will ever go back on the pill...just for my weight and
self esteems sake....and i dont want these pains to get any worse than
they are.
Thanks girls!
cheers
Brittany
