Re: First time visit....

Also, you had the laproscopy but are you on any medications following the proceedure? I have had surgery as well and did not experience much pain relief following....but there is the possibility that trying things such as a modified diet, naturopathic remedies, acupuncture, and hormone treatments (or a combination of those) can bring you some kind of control over the disease. I'm managing mine right now with danazol (a testosterone derivative) and supplements. I am by no means pain free, but I do feel significantly better than I did two months ago. Also, go back through some posts here. There are alot of topics dealing with hysterectomy. It is a really mixed bag. Some women have had great success with it and still others have not had good experiences at all. It is obviously a very personal decision that requires alot of thought. Here is a web site I like to give out. It was posted some time ago by another forum member. There is alot of information regarding some of the possible hormone treatments, etc. http://www.morehead.org/wellconnected/000074.htm -- Alyson At Wed, 31 May 2006, Emily wrote: > >Hi, > >I've been recently diagnosed with endo and I've had a laporoscopy to >remove the scar tissue and the doc burned a coupled of exposed nerve >endings... the pain was terrible before he did it.. and I don;t feel >much better after...
