(which was my stupidity for letting him). The lupron does NOT get rid of the endo. nor does it make it stop spreading. I have done so much research on the lupron. It is my body and I do not wish to have any more health problems than what I already do. This doctor is incompetent, insensitive, and a moron. The Endo. association says that 46.7 % of women they used for a study, had side effects and more health problems related to the endo. even after they stopped, 5 years later. That is insane. I do not want kids. I don't look at it as marrying the govt. or the military. I married my husband. He is his own person and not a doll. I grew up military and my father taught me that is not proper. Your family comes before all. The navy is his job...I did not marry that. He knew that well before we got married. I do not hang out with the military wives b/c all they like to do is gossip and start rumors and I have been there and done that. I have no tolerance for any of that. Not all military wives do that, but most, that I have met, do. I don't have any children. There is no way in this world I would live on a military base. I am not being grumpy to you..just mad at the military doctors and the b/s. My husband and I got legally separated today so that is that. I am going to CA to see Dr. Cook. I hope you are feeling better.
