Well......I was wondering what you've taken for it that "has actually helped?!"
My doctor found it when I was 21. She of course DID NOT believe me when I told her something WAS WRONG! But, indeed come to find out it WAS Endo. (she thought it was just gas...go figure)
I have gone through tons of prescription pills....nothing has worked. The ONLY thing that HAS worked for me so far is the drug LUPRON. I know many women have had bad side effects from this drug & in the future (god forbid I do) I might but, so far it's been good to me. The problem is you can only be on it for 6 months at a time & 6 months off. I'm on my 6 months off & in EXCRUTIATING PAIN!!!!!(right now as we speak)
AGH....Sorry to whine about it.....
It's just that I'm kind of in a bind as well because, in the future I would like children & my doctor suggests talking it over with my husband soon. If that were so easy.......he says he's not ready & it'll happen when it happens but, if only he would be more understanding ya know!
I'm now 28, going on 29 in August. I really feel the time clock ticking away & I'm afraid that I will never be able to have children. I've asked my husband WHEN he thinks he'd be ready & he says; when we have money or when he's emotionally ready. But, what about me? It is honestly soooo frustrating!
Besides the monthly pain EVERY month of the Endo. I have the pain of constant wonder when my husband will say: I'm ready!
Sometimes I honestly feel like breaking down & crying!
I know there are others out there probably way worse off then I am. I'm just upset right now.
