I know about the pain... This isn't my first experience.. I used to be able to control the Endo through taking tylenol or ibuprofen.. When I was diagnosed was the beginning of not being able to control it. I was diagnosed in Feb. and was on birth control for 2 - 3 mo. They took me off of birth control and I have been having normal periods until September. This period is also early. I don't know if maybe I've had a miscarrige because I was trying to get pregnant.

I've been trying to rest, but my sister had a diabetic emergency and was rushed to the hospital by ambulance. I now have her child and mine. The pain is worse because I've been having to chase after them (2 and a 3 year old)... I had the therma care heat patch on, but I had to take it off since it's been 8 hours. I gave up on the Tylenol/Ibuprofen because it's not helping and I don't like to take Medication if it doesn't help.

About 2 mo. ago the pain had gotten so out of control that I was on Oxycontin 10mg every 8 hours. I got off of it 3 weeks ago so I could start trying for a baby. I've been without meds ever since.. The pain is so severe that I just wanna curl up and lay on the couch crying, but because I have both boys I don't want to scare them.

I don't know if I should do something. I talked to my doc yesterday and well that didn't help as he said to do what I've been doing. :( I just don't know what to do anymore!

Thank you for your reply.. If you have any other advice please let me know!
