This is another update to the http://verticalsleevetalk.com/tell-your-story/3656-so-lost-what-do-you-do.html I started but wanted to title it with endometriosis in the title, if anyone is annoyed I apologize ahead of time..

UPDATE: April 6th, dr went in to romove one ovary seen how advanced my endometriosis was and immediately closed me back up. UGHHHH!!!!!!!!!! I am stage 4 of endo. this puts everything to a halt once again.

Endometriosis is a disease that lives off of horomnes the ovaries produce. Endo acts like rock hard glue and glues all your organs together, if left untreated, it can pentrate your bowels, intestines. Post op consul. dr again said i am in bad shape in there and need to do a total hysterectomy.

Dr said that the endo has attached itself to my bowels, appedix and intestines, that my ovaries have fused themselves together, dr will need the assistance of a de vinci machine..after the hysterectomy she will not give me hormones for 6 months & that all other endo should die off. My surgery date for hysterectomy is 6/30/2010.

I am 43 years old, have always had normal periods, but painful ones all my life, since 15. after going to several drs for pain, i was told the pain was normal- just take more nsaids. i fought infertility after many drs/tests i was told that all is normal and theres no reason i shouldnt be pg. just keep trying. my advice to anyone is dont trust anyone, do your own research, get second opinions, listen to others who have been there... HERE IS A LINK TO MY JOURNEY ON UTUBE... God bless...

determined1, can totally relate with you. . i too had endo and of course had several d&c's, endometrial ablazion, and so on. . when all that didn't work, had a hysterectomy at 30 while on the surgery table ran into all sorts of problems with the anesthestia had to leave 1 ovary and cervix intact. . . ok well the problems didn't stop there, 2 years ago i was diagnosed with cervical ca. . . well FINALLY got that puppy taken care of and out it came! Now i'm under really close watch for the ca to show up elsewhere. . . so far so good. . . so if your having the hyst, make sure they take the cervix. . .your gona love your hyst. . .I sure have! :wink0:
