Local support group symptoms and conditions

Hi All,

I have experienced all the side effects that you are going through. I think i may have had a stroke from this medication at the age of 31. That is certainly not normal. I would say to anyone going on this med. DONT AND IF YOU ARE STOP TAKING IT. Dont let doctors tell you its your only choice. There are alternatives. Acupunture has done wonders for me, she also gives me Moxa Rolls which have been known to eliminate the disease. Also find a local support group for Endo. They are in most City's. Ladies we must stick together on this becuase no one seems to care about this disease. Thier is also an alternitve doctor his name is DR. Redwine. Have not met him but he has some different theorys on the disease. Lets also put some pressure on Issurance Co. to cover more alterntive treatments such as acupunture and massage therepy which have proven to work. After these treatmenst my pain is now minumal.

Good Luck,
Erica

DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICINE IF YOU DONT HAVE TO. I too have experinenced all the negative side effects of lupron. Ladies!! We must stick together. If you have Endo, join a local support group. There are some in almost every town. Search the internet. You will find them. I just want to bring up alternative options that have helped me. Maybe they can help you too. Dont want to sound too new age but yoga has really helped my back pain. Also looking into Acupunture which has helped me before but unfortunitly is not covered by my insurance. (Even though its proven to help). My chiropracter is covered so she is trying to incorporate acupuncture and massage therapy. Evening primrose oil can help. For severe pain, I take Naproxin which helps me much more than than Ibuprofen. There is a convention every year on Endo, Im going to try to go. We must communicate and be vocal to our insurance companies and to the public. There is just not enough press about this female disease. I also found out that I have Hypothyroid, dont know if its
all related. Its all hormonal and would not suprise me.
