Gordon Sat, 29 Aug 2009 02:18:08 +0000 http://www.livingwithendometriosis.org/?p=466#comment-3996 Your story was very supportive and educational. For the past five years, I suffered from lower abdominal pain, extreme exhaustion, and menstrual bleeding. Through ultrasound, uterine fibroids were discovered but past doctors only recommended a "watchful eye." While my symptons progressed, my intuition told me it was time to find a new doctor who was serious about finding a solution to my chronic condition. The grace of God led me to Dr. Geoffrey Cly who found a fibroid the size of a baby's head in my uterus! He saved my life and confirmed that women don't have to live with reoccuring pain, staying with doctors who use the "watch & see" method. And educational stories like this bring to light the importance of women taking control of their health options to find the best solutions. Your story was very supportive and educational.

Yeah, Lupron is bad, bad stuff. I hope you got off of it! But at the same time, I hope you were able to find relief in another, healthier form. Thanks so much for telling your story. I'm sorry it took so long to get your comment approved - I've not had time to maintain my website in over a month and I'm just getting back to it, now. Oh wow. Yeah, Lupron is bad, bad stuff.

I ALSO DISCOVERED THAT IN ONE OF THE BOOKS IS THIS THAT ....research is discovering that there is endo. that is also microscopic tissues and is blind even too the naked eye so when having however many surgeries or by even getting a hystorectamy it still can be present and also ..aside from that i would like this to be noted that just because there is howevermuch endo found it doesnt mean that we should be discriminated to the pain cause a woman who has just very ''little endo'' can be in a whole lot more severe pain than a woman who is classified as stage 5 4 3 2 or 1..it is important that people start recognizing this disease as severe as or just as important than arthritis so any way these are the names of the books ...
