*HUGS* Melissa. I'm Stage 3 myself.

I hope you have better luck with the Lupron than I did. I only got one injection and hated the side effects so I requested no more injections.

Stress really does affect endo (at least for me). I was treating my endo with birth control pills for a number of years (3 months straight no fillers, then one month normal). I recently decided I didn't want to take the pills anymore in case I ever decide to start a family and get my body readjusted to a "normal" cycle.

In the meantime I've been going to a chiropractor and I feel great. Last month, she adjusted me and I mentioned that I was 3 months late. She adjusted my pelvis, two days later I start my period and for the entire week I had NO pain. I tell you what.... no cramps are awesome. I've never experienced anything like it before. Such a blessing.
