Coping with Endo...From: andrea (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue Jun 12 19:01:18 2007
I feel very blessed that I have finally found this forum and can talk to people who understand what I have been through and am going through. I also want to help others. The specialist that I have just found told me that Endo is not always a curable disease, but a disease that you have to find the best way to cope with. We all have to find our best way to cope.... The cocktail of drugs that I am now on are the healthiest possible combination of drugs that I have been able to find over the last 20 years and finally, I am getting some relief. I still need a little Vicodin, but the other drugs do not give me side effects or make me worry that I will someday get cancer from them. ( I list them on my June 4th entry and hope some of you will consider giving them a try.) When I feel like crap, start getting my cramps, I take a hot salt bath. Put a hot towel on my head, a cold washcloth on my face, followed by a mud-mask. I cut myself a big peice of chocolate cake, lye on the couch & watch a funny movie and maybe paint my toenails too. This to me is my reward for having to feel like crap for a few days and it DOES cheer me up. It makes me feel pretty, instead of bloated and gross. It takes away my worry, even if just for a while, when I feel like those around me don't understand how I feel. We all deserve to feel better. That is how I cope. Do these things for yourself and see how you feel. :)
