As some of you know I have been diagnosed with endometriosis about 10 months ago. Have been on hormone therapy and other meds since for about 2 years now. Well nothing is working. I progressed on the levels to a 5 and now the only option to this is to live with it....or a hysterectomy.


So I go in and pre-register and do labs on the 24th and then have the surgery on the 27th of this month.


Ya'll wish me luck and good thoughts....and all prayers too.






Also, if anyone can give any advice on life after a hysterectomy, sexual, emotional, and just living please feel free to. I do have so many questions...

Thanks to all,

Natalie

WANTED: a moment when you kiss someone and eveything around you becomes hazy. And the only thing in focus is you and this person and you relize that he is the only person your suppose to kiss for the rest of your life. And for one moment you get this amazing gift. You want to laugh and you want to cry. Cause you feel so lucky that you found it and so scared it will all go away at the same time.

I had one about 8 weeks ago and could not be more happy with the results. (everything and i mean EVERYTHING is working great!) Feel free to PM me with any questions you might have.....

I feel absolutely wonderful. There were several post-surgical glitches but I had a great doctor who listened and responded whenever I felt a problem coming on, so nothing got too out of hand.

You'll be in my prayers. I know how scary it is and the wondering how you'll be afterwards is a little unnerving too.

Oh, you might want to go over to the hystersisters.com website and ask questions/get support from there too. TONS of info there that should help you a lot.

My thoughts will be with you! I've heard many more good things than bad of the after effects. Everyone is different and you'll discover your own coping tools for the menopausal symptoms (if any). Research and family history will predicate what is right for you. I've heard very good things about the homeopathic meds to help with things like hot flashes. Be sure to know and understand the long term effects of any chemical/hormone replacement therapy! Weigh the benefits and risks...and educate yourself to the hilt! Knowledge IS power!

Best wishes hun!

My only advice and hopefully you have already done this, but get a second opinion. Many years ago my wife called me at work crying that she could never have children, we met with the Doc, he pushed for surgery. He told us it was the only option. We sought a second opinion and the rest is history, we have two grown children. I wish you the best of luck.

Come play with me.

I too have endometriosis. Went for years being misdiagnosed by just about every specialist there was. Then I met my current doc who knew right away what it was. That was about 4 years ago. Did laproscopic surgery to find out just about all my insides were ruined. Endometriosis was on everything. I lost my ovary and fallopian tube at age 29, with no children. That surgery was major and kept me out of work and in bed for 6 weeks. I was in a lot of pain. But, I only cared about feeling better. I had a total of 5 surgeries to "feel better". I had stage 4 endo. I knew the only way I would feel better was to have a hysterectomy. I went to my doctor asking for it and he didn't want to do it. Said he didn't think I was mentally ready for it. I went on to a fertility specialiest, etc. Nothing. I just kept living with the pain. Luckily, I didn't have the hysterectomy because I got pregnant. I know one day I'll have to have it, but right now I haven't had any problems at all so I'm just waiting it out.

I wish you lots of luck and wish there was an easier way for you to have some comfort.
