endometriosis

[Guest guest]

Dear :

I had severe problem with endometriosis too. I have been told that it is an

autoimmune problem. I had problems from the onset of puberty, but it wasn't

until I was 18 that I went to a doctor about it. Of course he told me it was

all in my head. Being gullible and subscribing to the 'Doctor as God'

mentality that was so prevalent back then (1978), I believed him. I suffered

horrible cramps for years. When I finally went back for help a few years

later, I was told that I had severe endometriosis. I had 3 laparoscopies

over the years, and I was put on this horrible medication (a sort of

anti-hormone called danazol). I ended up having a hysterectomy at 26. They

left my ovaries, but I had so much continued problem with the endometriosis

and ovarian cysts, that I had the tubes and ovaries out the following year.

I was placed on estrogen replacement therapy that year.

One more note on estrogen replacement (premarin in my case). It says on the

possible side affects that it can affect the liver. I believe I was one of

those unlucky ones who just couldn't tolerate it. I still believe that it

was a factor in my case of AIH.

Hope this was helpful.

Kathy and Geri:

Thanks for your reply. Kathy, like you I have had severe cramps since I

was 13 (1977), but of course they said it was no big deal (ha, ha, as I

am laying on the bathroom floor for two days a month!) I must say that

got down on my knees and thanked God when Advil came on to the market.

Then, for two years before my first surgery I kept going back to by

OB/Gyn with increasing pain and was told to just take more Advil and try

to get pregnant and it will make me feel better (we had already been

trying for 5 unsuccessful years.) I finally got fed up and went to

another doctor who told me the same thing. Finally, on doctor number

three it was the nurse practitioner who said she thought I may have

endometriosis, and then the doctor agreed. They took a peek inside and

were pretty surprised at the severity (most of which did not show up on

the ultrasound.)

So, I wholeheartedly agree with what everyone in the group says about

going to another doctor if you don't like the answers or treatment you

are getting.

I have not been on the pill for 10 years as we were trying to get

pregnant, unsuccessfully. However, my GI said there is a definite link

between infertility and autoimmune disorders.

Both my GI and my OB/Gyn have said that I should not go on birth control

pills to control the endometriosis as it can damage the liver. I am also

afraid that it could also possibly throw my system out of whack (after I

have worked for the last 9 months to get my meds lower and lower, and

having no problems with the AIH - lucky!)

I will check out the AARDA - and Kathy if you have info before I do I'd

love to hear about it.

Thanks!!

Dear :

I really got a chuckle out of that. It was the same for me! Remember when

all we had was Midol? It was always such a double edged sword. It would

help the pain, but upset your stomach so bad that it was almost as bad! I

had already had my hysterectomy by the time they made Advil an over the

counter drug, but I remember thinking how great it was for the next

generations of women who suffer!

Hope you're feeling better today!

I have had it. That is why my dr (cant spell the specialist word lol) asked

me since I had had a tubligation if I wanted a hysterectomy sp??. The

symptoms I can remember most was that my headaches were worse as in more

intense and that I had a period like three or four times a month. Hope this

helps.

Barb,

I have been diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, and Endometriosis. How was I diagnosed, hmmmm....let's see. I was misdiagnosed with kidney stones first, and then when it didn't go away, they did a laparoscopy. I went into my gyn's office with a stack of printed papers of signs and symptoms, and told him that this IS what I have. They did the Lap, and that confirmed it. Usually women go through many years of mis-diagnoses before they are actually diagnosed...I'm not really sure why. I have heard that it is familial....does anyone in your family have this?

Hi !

Sure sounds as if you are having a hard time lately. Thank you for responding about the endo. No...no one in my family has this. I have been experiencing bad periods lately & extreme lower back pain. I have been blaming the back pain on spina bifida, as I was diagnosed with this in the fall of last year. My gyn seems to think the lower back pain is caused from endo. I guess I'll have to wait & see until I can get the test done. That won't be until my husband gets a new job with health insurance. You take care of yourself & Don. I'm sorry if I have not been supportive lately, but I have been reading about everyone & keeping you ALL in my prayers. Take care!

Barbara,

I've had endometriosis for 3 years, and it took me 9 months

of waiting before I had my first laparoscopy (the only sure

way to diagnose endometriosis).

The symptoms of endometriosis vary from woman to woman, and

that list of symptoms that Helen gave you was excellent.

One of the symptoms I also had was some nausea, and I felt

my organs fall forward.

To learn more about endometriosis take a look at the

following pages:

http://www.jenniferlewis.com

htp://www.endometriosisassn.org

I hope that this is of some additional help to you too.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Take care,

Barb,

Don't be sorry! We can't always reply to everyone's posts, I only reply to the ones that touch me personally, or that I could help the person in some way. Things are tough right now, but when are they not? I'm trying REALLY hard to maintain a positive attitude, and find loving support, and surround myself with it. I think though that this is really helping me to grow into the person I want to be. California sure has made me grow in the last two years. (I'm 22, and I moved to California from Oregon 2 years ago) It is hard to be away from family, and try to keep both Don and I above water, but I've found that our 5 year relationship has only grown. Thanks for your kind words, and much luck to you.

I know I just responded to your other post, but do some searching on the

internet, that is where I found my info, and you will have to have a

laparoscopy to diagnose endo, it is really not fun.

Endometriosis

Anyone here got Endo? I think that maybe I need to get checked out

for it, as I have permanent internal bleeding into the pouch of

, and septations, and a cyst. Also have polycystic ovaries.

Have just read an article on Endo, and think I need to get a referral

to a Gyno. Would like some info on this, and a few questions answered.

Thanks

you are more comfortable with that but in the mean time

check out this site: http://www.jenniferlewis.com. This is

an excellent site and the lady who put this site together

wrote a very wonderful book about her experience with it.

It's a book that I recommend to every woman with

endometriosis and their families b/c of the way that things

I will give you tons more info, but I thought that this

Had a laparoscopy a few years ago, as they were sure that the

bleeding meant that I had an ectopic, when I woke up they just said,

sorry we were wrong, without offering any explanation for the

bleeding. The pain I was getting I now know was caused from the PCO.

Could the bleeding be from that also do you think? I have done some

research however couldnt find anything on info if you have PCO and

endo together. That is where you come in LOL :-)

Thank you Kristy, seems as though PCO and endometriosis seem to go

hand in hand, though I havent found anything to support this in my

research so far, though with you, me and , it seems a bit too

much to be mere coincidence ??.

Will take a look at the link tomorrow when I have a bit of time, it

is the wee small hours here now. The more info the better, and Im

looking forward to checking it out

Thanks again
