Anthony:

I have had endo for 27 years, and your email touched me deeply. I cried. My first husband couldn't handle it. My second husband is sympathetic, but doesn't understand the disease very well yet. We've been together 4 years and most of that time I was in what I call a remission state as far as pain, but my psychological state is like a roller coaster and sometimes he thinks I'm psycho as do I. I'm new to this website and have not researched endo much since 1993 as I was in my remission from Lupron treatment, which seemed to work until now. Or so I thought. I guess my psycho states sort of proved otherwise. Anyway, I'm here now to learn all I can and there is alot more to know about this disease than I knew. We live in a very rural area and are somewhat behind the times. Normally, this is a blessing, but I am quickly finding out how ignorant I really am about endo. I wonder if you would mind emailing my husband directly at mcogdill@gte.net with any words of advise, encouragement or understanding that you have of this disease and how it affects us women. Again, I appreciate your email and hope there are many of husbands or significant others out there who are so understanding to support my newfound endosisters.

Thanks, Anita Sylva, NC
