Boy I wish I had found this web site about nine months ago, it would of saved me at least four months of medical test.

The evil endo gets the last word it seems, after dealing with endo for eight years or more. we finally decided that having children was not going to happen. Let me tell you having that total hysterectomy was the smartest thing I've ever done. Until this year when I started having stomach problems and was hoping it was a bad gallblader apairently gastroparesis is life long I hate to inform you. But there is hope ask your Gasto Dr. about BOTOX, still have to take medications but atleast I don't have as many bad days and my nausa from hell went away. Has to be done about every 3 months though from what my Dr says but it does help keep me from having to taking the heavier drugs that keep me from working.
