Middle to the end of May, I had my first period after being off Lupron. I got ahead of the pain this time by taking percoset along with Aleve. Although the period itself was not too, too bad, the bowel problems still came. I didn’t get close to feeling normal until it was almost time for my period to come on again in June.
For my June period, I wasn’t so lucky. I ended up back to the ER on morphine. It just so happened that all of my family was up for a family celebration in Baltimore. Mom and Dad took me to the hospital. Did I tell you how great my parents are? Anyway, we went in around 9:00 p.m. and did n’t get home until 5:00 a.m. the next morning.
I knew and my family knew. I could not go through another month like this.

I remember one bowel movement was so painful, I felt like the left side of my vagina was going to split. I scheduled an appointment for surgery with the west coast doctor for late July. I was tired of trying to search out doctors in my area and hitting brick walls.
In all, I had seen 9 or more doctors, not including the doctors I saw during my visits to the emergency room.
It was also around this time that I found out about a lady (Sharon) living in Maryland that had surgery with the West coast doc and she was willing to share her experience. Talking to her was such a blessing and I was so thankful to her for her sharing spirit and it was just good to talk to some one who had gone through the same or similar pains as me. She was so open and such a good source of information. (This is why I'm sharing my experiences with you.)
The west coast gyn also had several websites on his work and that of the hospital where he practices. The time had come....
