Hey ya'll I just thought I would share too. I was having cripplin...

Hey ya'll I just thought I would share too. I was having crippling pain and I work with infants so I can't take any pain relievers of any kind because it could impair my judgment and cause a serious problem so......When I started to feel like something was wrong down in my southern region in February first thought was pregnant but when my period rolled around in March I knew something was seriously wrong. I went to my Dr. to get the referal to see a specialist and after telling him the type and amount of pain I was in and the different pain killers I had tried and the combinations he put me on a pain patch they give to people who are dying of cancer to help them deal with the pain (No work for me). Went to the specialist had some sonograms that liked to have killed me because they wanted me to have a full bladder and my pain was so bad that if I ate anything or my bladder even started to fill up I would get so sick from the severe pain. So they did the sonograms I promptly wet myself (so embarrassing but unavoidable due to the pain I couldn't get up with the full bladder) Went back to the Specialist he said "Ok, from what I see here and the photo's you showed me from a procedure in 2006 we are going to need to do a hysterectomy and described to me the gruesome details of a woman that had endo and it was so bad it got to her brain and killed her. Well we set a date for surgery and OF COURSE THE INSURANCE COMPANY WANTS TO ARGUE. They say we wont approve the Surgery unless she takes 2 months of Lupron first. So I had no choice but to pay for these $700.00 torture I never thought I would pay so much to torture myself. The doctor explained that the first 2 weeks would be bad and then he said IT WILL GET BETTER. (HAHAHAHAHAHA AINT HE A DAMN COMIDIAN) I had symptoms 10 times worse the first 2 weeks I thought to myself oh my god what have I done!?!?!?!?! BUT after that the pain got better it really did, it got better. I didn't know about all the side effects of the drug just the hot flashes and no period thing and the mood swings. So when I was having headaches I just assumed it was screaming kids, but I still had the headaches on the weekends. When all the muscles in my legs started to get sore I thought I am doing more than I used to but after a month of soreness I began to wonder. During this time I was having trouble sleeping but I thought it was from another pill I was taking so I stopped taking it still no sleep or verry little. Then last night I got no sleep because I had muscle spasms. This morning I thought my potassium is low I have had that problem before but then I thought about the fact that I have been eating the required stuff to keep it up.So that was the last straw. I found this site that links all the problems I have been having to the Lupron. But the things I knew about the Hot Flashes like clock work come at the same time every night, and any time I get the slightest touch of heat from food,outside temp(I live in Texas) or activity I get so HOT and start sweating from everywhere even had one little kid tell his mom "Hey look that lady is peeing on herself" I was sweating so bad.The mood swings......in the time it took me to get into a room at my main Dr.'s office with 2 sick kid's(approx. 1 hour) I was fine, then I was so mad I was cussing, then I was crying in the floor of the Dr.'s office with my 2 kid's saying it's ok mommy,then I was laughing hysterically at which time the Dr. said to hurry up and get me out of there before my mood changed again.(He was trying to sound funny but I am sure he was serious.) AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST the only other thing it did for me that was helping was No period. Wow I can deal with the period or I could deal with the pain I was in but not both. So given No with no real choice in the matter(to be able to have any kind of surgery that would help I had to do the shots) I have tortured myself relentlessly to get to the end of all this. But the Icing on the cake is that about four days before I got the second shot I was starting to hurt again and now five days before I go back I am starting to feel the pain again. And all I can say is the insurance company better approve the surgery on Tuesday or there will be one more person wearing a Straight Jacket because after all this if I don't get permanent relief I will be nothing short of Bonkers.
