I'm eating my words now, though. I'm very concerned >that my food intake is down and my exercise is up, but that the weight >is coming on so quickly. This is not comforting to me. My Dr. finally suspected endo yesterday. Yeah! I'm glad someone finally listened. She put me on Ovcon until my Seasonale gets here from the mail order pharmacy. I absolutely do not want to gain any weight. I put on 15 pounds from Paxil last year and haven't been able to get rid of it. Good thing is, I've taken two pills and I've already feeling improvement in my pain. I had severe burning pain and now its just slight cramping. I don't like the idea of the pills and hormones though. How long before the headaches go away?
