I have endo also, was in horrible horrible pain (all the time, not only during periods), had 2 laparoscopies to burn off the endo, had it on my bladder, bowel, pelvic wall, and still had terrible pain so I was about to start Lupron. But after reading more about Lupron I really didn't like the sound of the possible side effects, and it is not a long term way to manage the endo (sometimes only works for several months). I came across studies about endo and nutrition though, that discussed the relationship particularly between endo and wheat. Some women are also affected by dairy. I took myself off of dairy and wheat in February, instead of starting the Lupron shots. It took about 3 weeks to get out of my system but after that, as long as I don't eat wheat/dairy (wheat is the worst), the pain is very minimal. It's actually been amazing. If you haven't looked into the nutritional side yet, order Dian Shepperson Mills' book "Endometriosis: A Key to Healing and Fertility through Nutrition." Apparently the diet helps about 80% of women. Good luck!!!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15570297382876089075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2110297268863756645.post-57895548165499720052008-05-23T22:34:00.000-04:002008-05-23T22:34:00.000-04:00Oh, it's DEFINITELY helping with the pain!!!

I hope it's doing it's "thang" on my colon too-and getting rid of those adhesions.

Lovely all of the things we get to deal with, isn't it? <BR/><BR/>Sure hope the nausea goes away. How are you feeling about the Lupron? Do you feel like it's helping at all?Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13442970080379225678noreply@blogger.com
