-- Misery loves company I guess!(: I've had endo since 1994; it was kept pretty much under control until 1998 & then everything flared back up again. I have not been able to work since then and I am on disability. The past month has been rough, more rough than it's been for a long time.These forums are truly godsends, I believe.I was in pain mgmt from 2002 to 2004.Hot baths are also WONDERFUL!!That and sleep. And when I'm in a lot of pain & don't want to take a bath or sleep, I put on my flight simulator software & fly around for a while. That completely takes my mind off the pain!!
