It does allow my body some much needed rest from this disease, and, an OPPORTUNITY for SOME of the adhesions to "die" off-as they are not being "fed" by the estrogen. Kinda like a lot of the cancer medications we deal with right now-cuts off the source, allowing things to shrink down and hopefully die off for a while.<BR/><BR/>I'm not so much sold on these "excision" surgeries-there isn't enough literature out right now to convince me. Do you have endo? Have your been cured by an excision surgery? I'd like to hear more from people out there that have had this done...could work-I dunno. Working in the research field though, I need some concrete evidence. I asked my RE about it-he had NO idea what I was talking about. I'll email him these links-I didn't have them with me the day I went.My Endo Journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00752744479527167274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2110297268863756645.post-17990899073117781102008-06-13T04:46:00.000-04:002008-06-13T04:46:00.000-04:00lupron does not remove endo, or make it go away fo...lupron does not remove endo, or make it go away for any amount of time<BR/><BR/>the lowering of hormones, esp estrogen, make some of the symptoms stop for a while for some people<BR/><BR/>some docs call it a ''band-aid''<BR/><BR/>but the pain and problems will return, because the endo has not left in any way<BR/><BR/>excision surgery can help, and many women conceive after it<BR/><BR/>great sites, endoexcision.com, centerforendo.com, endometriosissurgeon.com, fertilitycare.org, naprosurgery.comdeirdrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05969049092005949766noreply@blogger.com
