Anyway, back at home in the bed with a heating pad, of course. Heat was definitely one of the keys to some relief. I was taking all kinds of drugs (percoset, anaprox, Demerol, etc) probably up to two weeks after my period and I was back on birth control pills.
I went from the type of pain I was having during/after my bowel movements to sharp pains in my left vaginal area (the endometriosis was mostly on my left side). These sharp pains would be all throughout the day. At night the sharp pains would be more continuous, keeping me from sleeping. I think I could take 3 200 mg ibuprofen tablets and the pain subsided somewhat.
After E-mailing Doc G with questions, seeing several other gyns (who I might say are probably great gyns, but .....), researching endometriosis, I was finally convinced or at least had resigned to taking the Lupron with the add back therapy indefinitely.
Today, is Thursday, November 03, 2005. I received my shot of Lupron/3 month on Tuesday and started the add-back therapy on Wednesday morning. I take that as I did my birth control pills , but instead of the bc pill. Well so far so good. I actually said that today was fabulous. I didn’t think I would be using that adjective to describe my days anymore.
