Hey Becca,

What Chinese herbal formula are you taking? I know quite a bit about some herbs, but I have to take bio-idential progesterone (made from yams and soybeans) to balance my hormones or I get all kinds of nasty symptoms that I used to have. I also take Arnica Montana, an herbal anti-inflammatory. I, like you, would rather take natural things before going to the extremes of taking things such as Lupron. That stuff needs to be taken off the market!

Your hormones could be out-of-whack and that could be causing your fatigue, I know it's what caused mine. Take a look at my post on July 7th, "The Cause of Endo" and see if you have any of the other symptoms that I listed, or if you agree with my opinion on BC pillls. I think all the doctors need to do is balance our hormones, but they would rather put us on all this expensive, side-effect causing junk that causes us to have to take more and more pills.... A lot of doctors refuse to test your hormones, which is totally rediculous. It is OUR right to know if that is where our problems are! We could be fixed a lot sooner. Write me back or e-mail me if you have any questions about this. What other surgery is your doctor telling you that you need?

Take care!
