ABOUT ME:

Hi there i'm 31 and I feel like i'm falling apart. I have endomentriosis which I have had all my life. I have had 2 surgeries and after my last surgery my doctor told me there was nothing more they could do for me except give me a hysterectomy, or put me on lupron. So reluctantly i tried lupron it was hell. the worst 3 mths of my life. I stopped after three months I couldn't take the side effects, I became suicidal it was awful.I have a husband and two children to think about.So we have been managing my pain with vicoprophen for almost 2 years now. I am in constant pain. Then in August after doing some more testing for my endo we found out that I am suffering from Adrenal Fatigue. I am in the severe stage of it and have been for a while and didn't know it. So I am currently trying to eat better and taking many supplements and lots of vitamins, and I am starting to feel a little bit human. On top of all this I have been suffering from constant back pain. I was in a wreck in 2003 and my back has never been the same since, it seems to just get worse and worse.After talking to my family doctor and getting MRI's and Xrays he said that nothing showed up and I was fine. He then sent me to a specialist who said that my mri's looked "great" really? REALLY? WHY AM I IN SO MUCH PAIN THEN ALL THE TIME? No one could answer me . They then sent me to physcial therapy that caused more pain, in fact the worst I have ever felt. My family doc even cut me off because he thought all I wanted was pain meds!It was crazy! So I switched docs got a nerve conduction test done and BINGO!They finally had something for me.My pain is called sacroilliitis(not sure if I'm spelling it right). So next week I'm going to a pain management clinic and hopefully they can help me, and not just give me pain meds to mask it, I mean really help me. I'm sick of living in pain I mean one can only take so much! Wow I feel so much better now, I've never actullay written any of this down before, thanks for listening!
