Re: burned out endo and bladder problemsFrom: Heather (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue Jan 18 23:05:49 2005
Thanks for your message. It's pretty unbelievable but today my doctor told me he thinks I have Interstitial Cystititis also! How are you doing on the Lupron? My doctor was going to put me on that but I was kind of freaked out by it. My doctor is going to do an operation to check for IC and he is also going to do a laparoscopy to remove my endo. I'm crossing my fingers that this will help! Anyway, thanks for your message and hope you feel better too. At Mon, 17 Jan 2005, Josie wrote: > >Heather, > >I am right there with ya girl.
