Hi,
Im curious to hear what everyone says to your response. I have been on
depo for years and am now going off. I also have pain and had pain
years ago before going on the depo at which time I was diagnosed with
endo... It seems that endo doesnt have an opportunity to grow on the
depo but I have certainly had severe symptoms now that I am going off it
and I do think that the endo stays and just starts to regrow once you go
off or get low on hormones... hopefully someone else has some ideas
because I would love to know the true answer to this question. All I
know is my own experience and depo has calmed the symptoms but now I am
off it and all hell has broken loose witht he pain!
