Endometriosis pain & how to deal with your husband that doesn't understandFrom: Li (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed Jul 26 22:52:36 2006
Hi, my name is Lisa. I am a 25 year old woman with 3 children & have been dealing with endo for 5 years now. I have had a total of 3 laparoscopies & now the doc has decided to try me on the Lupron. I have not had my first treatment yet, but am hoping it works. I am looking for other women who deal with this to talk with. My husband says he understands, but it doesn't seem that way. Even though he know that it is painfull when we make love, he still forces himself on me to do it or waits until I am asleep then does it to where I wake up thinking I am being raped or something, by the time we are done I am in tears. Then I always here "baby I am sorry, it won't happen again", I have been hearing that for 5 years now. Personally I think it may ruin our marriage. I have tried to get him to go on different websites for husbands/boyfriends that are going through the same thing, & he never does. I want him to understand how much pain I am in. Not just during sex, it is all the time. My lower to mid back constantly hurts, by left side always feels like there is a knife just twisting over & over, my periods are terrible, very heavy & painful, there are times that I feel like my uterus is just going to fall out. I have been on pain killers for almost a year now, (which I hate having to take)but it is the only thing right now that gives me a little relief. My doctor says I am too young to have a hysterectomy, which is the only way to really get rid of this crap, but to me I have 3 kids, don't want anymore, my husband has had a vysectomy,so I just don't understand why I have to put up with this for another 3 years or so. I am really just looking for someone who understands what I am going through to talk to. I hate not being able to play with my kids, being on the couch all the time, having to call in to work because I can not get out of bed at times. If anyone is out there & would like to be an ear for me or vice versa please email me or respond to this posting.
