Just when I think I'm feeling better about all of this......From: K (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue Jun 28 17:17:20 2005
Hello Ladies, I have posted to this site before, and as always I have found great advise and support from you all. I need to ask for some more now.... I had my last lap on May 17 and have been recovering fairly well since then. I had a two week follow up appointment at which time my doctor gave me Depo Provera. I have had both Lupron and Zoladex before, which had helped...but this Depo is doing some crazy things to my body. I have a hard time sleeping at night, wake up with hotflashes/nightsweats. I've been irratable, moody from being depressed to laughing up a storm. Has this happened to anyone else. I am not going to take another shot of Depo...I find it's horrible. To top it all off, I have zero sex drive. I could care less to ever have sex again right now. This is not good at all considering I have a boyfriend (who thank goodness has been very good about this all). But I used to have a healthy normal sexual drive and it's gone. So before all this had happened I had my family doctor find me another Endo doctor for a second opinion as I've had 4 lap surgeries and thought it would be good to get someone else's point of view. I went to the doctor today, and it started off pretty well. She seemed conserned and reviewed my history of what i've been through with the surgeries. poked and proded me and gave me an internal exam. At the end she said that it looks like I have some sore muscles on the inside of me and they are weak. To get a sacroiliac belt to help with those muscles??? Then proceeds to tell me that it looks like I have Hyperalgesia: which I looked up as soon as I got home. Definition of Hyperalgesia: is a condition of altered perception such that stimuli which would normally induce a trivial discomfort cause significant pain. Hyperalgesia is often a component of a neuropathic pain syndrome. Hyperalgesia - The excessive sensitiveness or sensibility to pain. This has make me very upset, because she basically said that this endo is all in my head and my pain. She said that "we need to put endo on the back burner". She said that for all the surgeries i've had and all the pain, it can't still be the endo and that's when she used "Hyperlgesia". I KNOW THAT THIS PAIN OR ENDO is not in my head. I can't believe she said this to me. It makes me soo upset that that's all she had to say. Not looking into anything else. Maybe I do have something else wrong with me besides endo. but for her to suggest i'm making it up, or when there is really no pain I'm making it out to be alot. I'M SO FRUSTERATED!!!!!! Please help. Cheers, K
