Well, I think hysterectomy is something you should research the heck out
of. Even more than the meds, it can come with its own severe
complications. I would look back through some posts here on that
subject. There have been women that have gone through the hysterectomy
only to have the endo return years later. Read as much as you can and
look through the posts here. There are alot of women with alot to say
on that subject!
Try checking out "The Endometriosis Sourcebook" for some different
treatment ideas. You can get it through Amazon.com or the Endometriosis
Association. It goes through all of the available medical options
(including hysterectomy) as well as alternatives (like acupuncture,
etc.) and the pros and cons of each.
