> I'm sorry to hear that you are in such pain. That's not a good way to end
the Year. Hopefully you're feeling better when you receive this. As to
respond to your questions, I can't help with the first two questions. As to
the third, it is my understanding that most bcps work by giving your body a
false sense of pregnancy or changing your hormonal balance so you can't get
pregnant, whereas lupron (and its cousins) put you into temporary menopause,
shuting down estrogen production. Hope this helps. Yes, I'm on the quilt
and belong to the Association. Hope you are feeling better and have a
wonderful (and painfree) New Year.

with the pain. I did get a new job though so that is a good thing!Hopefully
this place will be understanding with the pain I go through and I also hope
that they will not make we wait the normal waiting time to get on the
Insurance policy because I really need it. Anyway, the questions I have are
1) do any of you suffer from acne(I only take ortho-tri).It has become
really bad since the endo started acting up again.2)do any of you have mitro
valve prolapse? I get alot of palpitations where it really takes my breath
away but I do not have the money to go to a cardiologist right now so I
could use any help that you would know about this. I had some other
questions to but I cant think of them now since the painkillers just kicked
in!! I just joined the endo association yesterday and also order their
Tshirt. Did all of you sign the quilt? Sorry this was so long :)Oh yes i
just remembered another question,it !

> may sound dumb but,when you are on continuous bcps,you dont get your
period ,right. Is that the same as being on lupron?I am just learning all
these things on my own since my doctor is really of no help to me. Wishing
you all a happy and feel good day...
