I would search the web for a doc that specializes in endo in your area. I would start taking omega 3 and OPC 3. I would also find a physical therapist that deals with pelvic pain. You have to learn to cope with the pain and a psychologist who specializes in pain management may help. There are TENS units and relaxation techniques that help. Please don't get discouraged...you will find the help you need. Good Luck. I don’t even know what to say…it sounds like you haven’t found the right doc yet.

I went to three different obgyn one NP said I had vaginitis gave me levaquine and put me on effexor even after I told her that I had endometriosis, I didnt have vaginitis, and the effexor put gave me sever side effects after first dose hr 170. Than I found a new OBGYN in my area, told her my problems, she said to have a lap and I was due for on. Well she examined me and told me she could feel the cyst on my rt ovary and scheduled me for surgery the following week. Well I had gotton my period went to work and that large cyst ruptured. I left work in sever pain went to her office and she said I shouldnt have come there but go straight to the er, anyways she put me into the hospital performed a lap the next day and she told my family it was the worst case she has ever seen and I had soo much blood in my abd cavity and the endo was everywhere all over my organs but she only consentrated from the belly botton down. She removed six cyst on my rt and 3 on my lf ovary, then cut muscle and nerves for I had adhessions all over my bowel bladder and uriters. I did well after surgery went home and did all the walking I could do because I knew the gas build up could cause lots of pain. Well it took me 16 hours to pee. The second night I passed out while urinating from the pain, I had sever thrush and couldnt have a bowel movement with out screaming my head off. For a whole week straight I call the doctor r/t pain and no call back finally my mother called and demanded I get attention, The doctor called back and said there is nothing she could do and for me to go to the ER. I then decided not to and go to my primary doc becuz I am a nurse and know how the er works and i didnt want iv drugs but to find out what is wrong. Well my primary put me on cipro for bladder infection and it helped, I then had my 2 week follow up with her and she told me I didnt have a bladder infection, I have endometriosis and will have pain for the rest of my life, I told her I didn't have pain like this only for like a day or two during menses and she said well get used to it and dont call her for pain becuz she did the surgery cut my sacral nerve and I should be in the pain I was describing. Well she sent me a certified letter one week later telling me that she can no longer be my md. I cried I was like what did I do, I didnt ask for anything and looked to for support. I then went to a specialist thats an hour away, they put me on Argytin continuallly which stops menses all together but not as strong as being on lupron,(which I didnt want anyways) I have been calling them and telling them weeklly about my pain and they said I would be in pain for 2-3 mths experience hot flashes due to surgery and meds but to do acuipuncture for pain take cataflan and learn to deal with it, I have endometriosis and many people with endometrisosis are drug seeking. I told her I am not I am looking for answers becuz I didnt hurt like this prior to surgery and my life has crumbled where its hard to work and I cant do any of the activities I onced enjoyed. She told me to see my primary or go to the er for pain meds then. Like omg I cant find anyone in the tampa bay area to help me. This disorder is serious and I have delt with this for 13 yrs and now when I need help I get the door slammed in my face. The only one who seems to care is my primary in which he told me he is certified in acuipuncture and its only a placebo and dosnt do it. He believes me and told me to go 200 miles or more if I have to find someone that can give me the answers or at least help me find the answers. Sorry for the long detail I am at my wits end. Doc should be attempting to be healers or at least caring but this disorder is not recognized enough talked about enough and definitly not taken seriously enough. If someone out there has gone through this please let me know how to cope or even manage this I have endometriosis, I was diagnosised in 96, and had my first lap, was on yazmine for about 7 years that help with my pain and bad periods then all of suddenly the past two years I was experiencing worsening periods and pain that occured two weeks prior to menses.

(see about endo page above) but unfortunately it doesn't help all of us. I have been eating this way for quite a few years. I see a whole health M.D. who has helped me with these choices. I recommend anyone with endo to do the same. Decreasing estrogen and estrogen imitators such as soy is a good idea as well as decreasing overall body inflammation by taking fish oil and OPC 3. OPC 3 contains pycogenol which in studies has been shown to help with endo pain. Although both decreasing inflammation and taking OPC 3 helps with the pain it does not stop the progression of the disease. This disease can silently effect fertility also. I would caution against saying the body healed itself also. Pain is not an indicator of the disease. Her pain may be gone but I doubt that the endo is gone. If it was only a cyst and not a stoma/endo then it should have resolved anyway without surgery. I suggest follow up with a fertlity specialist for anyone who is planning on having children effected by this disease. It is very complicated and there is a lot of misinformation out there. Consults experts only. Thanks so much for your post. Your step daughter is lucky to have your support. That is so important. I would caution against saying the body healed itself though.

]]> Comment on I hate endometriosis by John http://lna4va.wordpress.com/2007/03/07/i-hate-endometriosis/#comment-1361 John Wed, 17 Dec 2008 21:56:31 +0000 http://lna4va.wordpress.com/2007/03/07/i-hate-endometriosis/#comment-1361 Try a simple change in your diet that I recommended to my step-daughter who had been suffering from ovarian cysts, endometriosis and enlarged lymph nodes under the armpits. Replace whatever chicken you are eating with hormone-free organically grown chicken and switch to hormone free brown eggs if you're eating the white ones. One of the little known causes of ovarian cysts and other female problems is excess estrogen and estrogen immitators from hormone fed animals and disposable plastic water bottles for starters. In 2 1/2 months of making this change and without any medications, vitamins, exotic herbs, etc. my step daughter returned to completely normal health. No ovarian issues; only healthy tissue as verified by her gynecologist. And her lymph nodes had returned to normal by the time the radiologist and surgeon checked her in pre-op. Nothing was found, everything is healthy again. Surgeries cancelled. Once the sources of the problems was removed, her body healed itself completely.
