I have severe endometriosis that was finally diagnosed a few months ago after being in pain for 5+ years. My previous doctors said I was essentially faking the pain, since they couldn't find anything by ultrasound and MRI's, etc. They put me on just about every type of hormonal birth control available and kept telling me my pain wasn't something they could fix. I finally switched to a specialist and she immediately said she was sure it was endo but insurance wouldn't cover any meds or treatment unless laproscopic surgery was performed to diagnose the condition. My endo is in areas that can't be surgically removed, so Lupron was my only option unless I have a hysterectomy. I am almost to my 3rd month of being on the treatment and I am less anxious, have lost the bloated feeling that I had when I was on depo-provera (the last thing the other doctor put me on), I am much calmer, and I haven't been painful except the last few days, but I think that is from this dose wearing off. I had nausea for 1 week and ginger root helped that. I am less fatigued and easier to deal with on a regular basis. I haven't grown hair anywhere out of the norm like some people do, so that may be a down side to what you are going through. But, all in all, I am much happier since I started Lupron. What I am going through might be out of the norm, but I feel like me again. I can live my life. I am interested in sex again, I can function mentally, I can work and be efficient. I am 20 years old and I am seriously considering the hysterectomy if the lupron fails to relieve the pain once I finish the 6 months. If you still read your comments, what did you go through after your procedure?

But as a transsexual I bet you also need to learn about post-op pre-op and non-op transsexuals. I came across in this article <a href="http://myladyboygirlfriend.com/pre-op-post-op-non-op-transsexual-women" title="three kinds of transexuals/ladyboys" rel="nofollow">three kinds of transexuals/ladyboys</a>. And I bet this is very good information for those who are curious.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08107033522984675166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838129796585005454.post-34756821996862546762010-03-22T13:16:31.086-04:002010-03-22T13:16:31.086-04:00Esh both sound scary, but I think most things are ...Esh both sound scary, but I think most things are these days.
