To Keri Re: Endo, pain and the pill

Keri:
I experience the same symptoms (cocnetrated lower left) as you though I
accepted the lap in 09/2000 and was diagnosed with endo. Endo was
attached to my bladder; perhaps you have something similar? I had daily
pain using b/c pills continuously too, and eventually 5 straight weeks
of bleeding. Hesitantly, I have recently added Depo Provera to the mix.
I also started taking an Omega 3-6-9 complex and a B complex vitamin
which I read has helped some women. I don't know which if any is
responsible, and it has only been a week, but the only pain I have had
since is with urination (which isn't new). What a tremendous relief!
Good luck and email me at a_farquharson@hotmail.com if you want more
info. I know how frustrating it can be.
