Hi - I've just found this site, and hope it can help me! Had endometriosis for years, but got pregnant 15 yrs ago - no probs. Second pregnancy - discovered I was pregnant in ER, having surgery for appendicitis! Three months later - discovered it was twins! Lots of pain - thought it was from adhesions, but was actually a dermoid cyst, which by the time it was discovered had ruptured. Uterus was held out of me by 3 people while my insides were cleaned up, 1 ovary was taken, and twins put back in. They were then born vaginally, at 28 wks while I was in ICU on a respirator (they are now 12 and fine, thank God!). This is when all my problems started. Endometriosis turned into adenomyosis. Heavy periods with pain, every 26 days, lasting 2 weeks! Acne, hirsutism, weight gain, migraines about 12/month, and other symptoms that make me think I have PCOS, but all tests come back normal except for DHEA Sulfate, which came back at 2.2, which I understand is a high level. This level doesn't seem to correspond to what anyone else has described. My dr said he'd need to read up on what it means. I've been on all kinds of meds for headaches, and recently for depression, which came out of the blue! Just stopped atenolol for migraines, take magnesium, celexa, wellbutrin, minocycline, as well as fioricet, imitrex, ponstel, Tylenol 3, and other stuff for headaches and periods. Any ideas where I should go from here? What does the high DHEA level mean? Thanks for reading on - it's been a pretty incredible 12 years - and I'd like to figure out if all I'm going through is somehow related. Jeanne
