Hi Ladies,

First off, let me just say that I find this sight such a comfort to me. Whenver I feel down & out, I can come here & know that I am not alone. It has been such a wonderful source of information for me.

My story is long & complicated (aren't they all?!!), so let me see if I can give you the condensed version:

I was diagnosed with endo in Dec 2004 when I had en ectopic preg that had ruptured my right fallopian tube & was bleeding internally to death. When my GYN went in to repiar the damage, she discovered a TON of endo. I never knew I had it.

Since then I have gone on Lurpon and it caused many bad side effects. I have taken five doses & my last one is coming up in two weeks, but I have decided that am not going to take it. It has put too much strain on my body & mind.

I have been in constant pain ever sine my lap. in Dec. I even had a second lap. in mid-March to see what was going on & the doc removed some newly formed adhesions that may have been causing the prob. But, the pain has never fully gone away.

Recently, I have been having severe constipation. I mean, I can only go once every 5-6 days. I have tried laxatives, fiber in my drinks, & RX meds. Nothing seems to work. It is causing me so much pain all over my lower body. My back is killing me, & my lower plevic area where my ovaries are located are huritng very bad. Now I'm nauseated & can't eat.

My GYN has recommended that I see a GI specialist. The next available appt. is in two weeks from now. I feel like I am dying. I don't know what to do. I am very afraid that my bowels are stuck to my ovaries or I have a pinched bowel.

Does anyone have any comments, suggestions, or feedback? Anything would help. Has anyonw gone through something similar? What was the outcome?

I am so depressed over all of this. I feel like my do doesn't knwo what else to do with me. In fact, I know she doesn't. IBS has been mentionedm but I just don't feel like that's what's going on.

Thanks for listening.
