I can defintley relate to how you feel. I have panic attacks and stress, the endo situation and fighting with my insurance company multiplied that to where things got much worse. The days of pain I am so medicated on pain pills, I really can't do anything. It is very depressing. Two weeks ago my doctor put me on norethidrone which is a progestin hormone or something to stop my periods, I am now really an emotional wreck, I know these pills are making it 100 times worse, I really can't take it much longer, my mood swings are severe and it makes me also feel physically worse. So now the stress level is at the highest I have ever experienced. I am going to a counselor next week because I am so upset about everything right now, I am trying to give the medication a little while but I don't know how much longer I can take. It is a lot to deal with at one time so I can defintley relate to how you feel, although I am not sure what the answer is.

>I too have a lot of pain and are reluctant to use prescription meds. I recently read that the Endo Assoc. does not recommend the use of many narcotics because they tend to "bind" you. I've experience this when I used them after surgery. Since many of us have pain with BM's, it may worsen the situation.
