Another previous endometrosis.

[Guest guest]

I had endometrosis when I was 27 and a hysterectomy the year later.

I went through leupron shots for 10 months in an attempt to " dry " it

up. The first month after coming off, it was back. I had initally

had a pelviscopy and some ablation to burn it off. This past spring

I was told to use a different form of estrogen ( not the pill kind)

I think we all get where I am going with this one, after using the

messy stuff for a week and a half that all to familiar pain started

and I couldn't walk, I was scheduled for another pelviscopy. I was

put on Toradol and cancelled the pelviscopy once I stopped the

estrogen within a few days the pain went away. I even asked the GYN

Dr. if using estrogen this way would cause a flair up of any old

endometrosis that might have been there and he said " possibly " . The

GYN's don't want me to take oral as it can cause pancreatitis, and I

won't use the other again.

I always thought the endometrosis was because both of my

grandmothers had it, and my mom it made sense that I would also.]

I am a 4th generation pancreatitis person on my fathers side. I

think there is a genetic predispostion here.
