Re: ultrasound results -AMY

February 24, 2005

Thanks Amy! It is a painful disease I am just warn out mentally and emotionally

from these past few months. I don't have the severe kind where it grows all over

but the pain is ridiculous. I can't believe how many women have this disease. I

read somewhere the other day that there are more women that have this than there

are people with cancer and aids. And guys wonder why we are so emotional I

keep thinking about kids and i am 50/50 on it. My friend had it and was told

that she would never have kids but she has two now and I think that hers has

subsided. I am to the point where I am thinking about a hysterectomy or

something. I don't think that I could ever do that but when it gets to the point

of complete misery what else is there to do? Thanks for your response Amy. Take

care. JIll

cancer...but ouch. Endometriosis HURTS a lot, I suffered with it for a long

time on a minor level and so far having my kids seems to have resolved it. I

had a friend who recently went thru the surgery to remove hers....she was in so

much pain she didn't care what they had to do to stop it. I hope your gyno

appointment goes well and they can do something for the pain that won't hurt the

kidneys too much.

ultrasound results

Well the good news is that my neph called and said that my ultrasound was

normal. I think I figured out what is going on. I had surgery for endometriosis

over 4 years ago. I think that it may have come back. I can't believe that I

didn't think about that being an issue. Since I have so much wrong in a general

area in my abdomin I never know what is causing what. Well I looked up the

symptoms yesterday and everyone that I have points to it. The pain in lower

back, nausea, vomiting, extreme fatigue and horrible menstrual cycle. I have an

appointment my gyno on Tuesday. I really don't know what to do. I have tried

taking 4 Tylenol when the pain is at it's worst and it doesn't do anything to

help. I try not to take anything at all and am trying to just deal with the pain

but it getting unbearable. I don't want to have surgery again for it. Well I

guess I will see what he says Tuesday. I just wish I could take pain killers so

it wouldn't be so bad. Thanks for listening. Jill
