Last year I had so much pain that I ended up in the emergency room twice. I was tested for everything and finally my doctor send me to the lab for an ultra sound. I was diagnosed with ovarian cysts and small fibroids. I was scheduled for a surgery and I was diagnosed with endometriosis on January 20, 2009 by laproscopic surgery. The doctor said my endometriosis is severe and the adhesions are all over my ovaries, bowel and bladder. I had another surgery march 3, 2009 to remove an ovarian cyst and endometrioma. The surgery was suppose to take 3 minutes or so and ended up taking 2 hours. The organs were stuck down so bad that the doctor ended up having to remove my right ovary and fallopian tube. The doctor scheduled me to start LUPRON on April 15, but after reading the comments here, I have decided not to try lupron. I am not in any pain now from my endometriosis, so I prefer to weigh my options. I ordered many books on the natural treatment of endometriosis and will try that avenue. I suggest that you read and research before trying any drugs, because at the end of the day we will be the ones suffering not the doctors.
