Re: ally tough dayFrom: Lori (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri Sep 17 20:02:10 2004
Hi, Its Lori again. I think Dr. Redwine sounds wonderful as also Dr. cook does. If I were to have to have surgery I would certainly look them up, but in the meantime while thinking about that, what if you went to the health food store & looked into natural progesterone cream? I understand that you are in the medical field & most do not believe in it in the medical industry. One of my friends is a nurse...but I must tell you that I live pain free 80-90% of the time now because of it & it has been that way for 3 years. I lived 17 years with major pain. Of course their are months when I forget doses & such & have period pain for about 5 hours. I had my progesterone levels checked & they are equal to the amount a pregnant woman puts out. So the cream no doubt increases that hormone & in turn balances the estrogen. Previosly I went the herbal route. It worked great!!! but no way could I afford this dr. at 800.00+ a month, but the point is it worked! Now I see a naturopathic dr. quite a bit cheaper where I use the cream, supplements, diet & more. I can say clearly that I have the endometriosis problems: pms, bowel... under control now. I have had the disease 20 years. I am suffering with chronic fatigue right now as my main problem, but improvements are happening with that also with taking B5 & high doses of vitamin C-well quite a bit more supplements also....
