Anyone in or near Las Vegas, I'm looking for good Dr. From: Tiffini (anonymous@obgyn.net) Sat Sep 11 21:23:48 2004 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: amy: "Re: Should I have my lap next week even though my pain is gone/? on prog cream" Previous message: Nicole: "Re: I Feel Like a Hypocondriac!!!!" Hi, My name is Tiffini and I am a 30 yr old victum of endometriosis. My pain started when I was about 17-18yrs old. My first experience with a OB/GYN doctor was when they put me on birth control pills to balance my hormones, because I had been bleeding for almost 2mos.Then I began to have ovarian cysts, the pain became so bad that I had to have surgery to remove it. Well to say the least, I had three more removed, all two years apart.When the doctors could no longer blame my pain on cysts, they then said that it appeared that I had endometriosis, but because it was microscopic to the human eye, they couldn't diagnose it. Of course that was after being told that my pain was ALL IN MY MIND, imagine that.Seven out of ten of my doctors told me that I needed to have a hysterectomy but I refused, because I wanted so desperately to have a child, and when I was able to tolerate the pain long enough to have sex with my husband, we tried to get pregnant, because I was also told that if I got pregnant it could possibly cure me. After four years of agony, GOD blessed me with a beautiful baby boy, and for that I am greatful... I'm also happy that I didn't listen to those doctors.Trough my pregnancy I had very few complications, and I was BLESSED with a healthy baby boy. Shortly after my delivery, my pain resurfaced. Now that I had my little baby, I then proceeded to have a complete hysterectomy,8mos. later. For one full year, I was pain free. It's really sad to say, but I would wake up looking to hurt, because pain had been a part of my day for so long, but I had none. Well, exactly one year after my surgery the pain returned, only it seemed to be worse.Of course now, not only do I have excrutiating pain, but I have night sweats, mood swings, and absolutely no desire to have sex.What do I do now? The doctors tell me that the endo has probably spread to my bowel and bladder, and if that is the case, nothing can be done about that.I'm currently seeing a pain management doc to help me tolerate the pain, but the pain is intolerable, and I don't want to be on pain meds for the rest of my life. I asked my doctor will I be on pain meds for the rest of my life? and he told me yes.I refuse to except that. GOD bless yu on your journey. -- Tiffini -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tiffini -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Next message: amy: "Re: Should I have my lap next week even though my pain is gone/? on prog cream" Previous message: Nicole: "Re: I Feel Like a Hypocondriac!!!!"
