Re: to Kimber- BCP's

Dear Kimber;

If you are not having a menstruation cycle, does that mean you are also not

ovulating? Also, does this mean your hormones aren't doing whatever it is they

are supposed to? I had a hysterectomy 21 years ago, but they left the

ovaries " so I would not have to take hormones " and I know I only ovulate 3 to 5

times a year. It just got me to wondering . . . If the hormones are still

working then I wonder if it is the pain that causes a domino effect, because I

used

to get horrible migraines that time of month also (and is it the pain that

causes the increase in Pancreatitis attacks). Anyway - I don't miss it

I have been very busy at work and out of town so I am a little out of touch

so I will just say a general " Hi and hope everyone is doing okay. "

Also, if anyone is interested in being a State Representative in the

following states I would appreciate an email (gwest1955@ aol.com). As you can

see, I

have quite a few openings.

It is great to see that many of you are planning to attend the 2003

Symposium. It sounds like there are going to be good speakers and forums.

Keri,

the problem with birth control pills is the reason my

OB/GYN is consulting with my primary care on if it's okay to

give me anything to restart the menstruation. Since I

haven't heard anything in quite some time, I'm thinking

they'd rather have me not have a menstruation cycle then

have any more pancreatic attacks. My OB/GYN didn't seem to

upset by the fact that I'm not having my menstruation cycle,

so I'm not going to worry about it overmuch. And it is nice

not having the increase in pain, etc. that comes with the

cycle. It used to make things so much worse.

Hope you continue to have little to no pain with those

shots.

Kimber
