I've been back and forth with various
doctors for over a year, and finally 2
weeks ago I found out what was wrong with
me. My new doctor with only 2 visits to
him, explained to me that I have a very
strong chance of endometriosis. He first
suggested sugurey, but he doesn't feel
that I will have any relief from the pain,
because he feels there will be scare
tissue. Since he said that i'm strongly
against surgurey. He suggested taking a
shot, once a month for 6 months. I have
an appointment with him next month to
discuss the shots side affects.
Has anyone had endometrosis and have taken
the shot?

I didn't mean to confuse you all. When I
said "shot" I mean lepromine shot. I'm
told it's a very strong medication to
clear endometriosis.

Would it be right to say that you have not
actually been diagnosed with endo?
Because you need surgery to diagnose it so
if you have not been diagnosed he would be
giving you this shot on a guess that you
have endo am I correct? Im just worried
for you thats all.

Endo - What It Is. Posted: 06-22-06 21:59pm
I had a friend who had it, and basically
what it is is a defect where your organs
were developed with parts of your uturus
which are supposed to be on the inside are
on the outside, trying to shed blood and
lining. There is no where for the blood
and lining to go, so its almost a type of
internal bleeding. It can only be seen by
either surgery or cameras and the only way
she was healed of her pain was to have the
organs containing this tissue removed.
The tissue that is normally found on the
inside of the uterus, in endometriosis,
can be found on other organs too like the
overies.
