Thanks Valerie,
i will be having surgery before i am put on lupron, and as you read I
have already had 3 previous surgerys, and like you no signs showed endo
or anything wrong in that area. So I am hoping that these surgerys she
is wanting to do will show something but just like you said I as well am
not wanting to go through early menopause expecially at the young age of
23. I have seen my family dr, my obgyn as well as a 2 obgyn ( a male 2
yrs ago) & an emergency dr. and all of them don't know. I am not sure
where to go for a second opion cus I feel that I have unless i see a
natropath but the $$$ is what is holding me back. Well I'll do the
surgery and hopefull I will not need to go on lupron, ( the reason they
are wanting to put me on it is to see if the pain stops if it does then
its endo if not then we are back to square one trying to figure out my
pain)
Well thankyou for your suggestions and if you have anymore feel free to
e-mail me.
Thankyou so much Jenn
