Mayo ClinicFrom: Jessica (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sun Jul 31 23:33:22 2005
I have been battling endo since January. I know, not as long as some of you. But I have had excruciating pain the whole time. I have had 7 laps since Jan, and I make what seems like at least twice a month visits to the ER because my pain gets out of control. That is because I have developed a strong tolerance to all of my PO pain meds at home, and even things like Morphine that they give me in the ER. They have succeeded with Dilaudid, but some MDs refuse to give it because it is "addictive." I feel bad for asking for it, but it is the only thing that works, and faced with this pain, I want it, no matter what the risks are. If they could find me anything else that works, id be glad to take it instead. Anyway, my real question is, my doctor, after so many surgeries and treatments (BCP, Lupron x 6mos, etc) has thrown his hands up and decided that I have something "weird." Those are his exact words. He is sending me to the Mayo clinic in Minnesota. I am dropping everything in my life (i have a husband and a 3yr old boy) to go up there. My mom is going with me. I need some hope and faith that I am going up there to find a treatment that will work. They are supposed to be the best in figuring out "weird" things. After so many failed treatments, I hate to get my hopes up. Has anyone ever been up there, and had any success with them???? Please help. I am scared to go up there, where I dont know the doctors, and that they will just think I am some kind of druggie. Thanks so much for reading, Jessica A.
