Treatments I've tried...

I have tried more birth control pills than I can count. Some helped for awhile, some did nothing. After countless birth control pills we decided to put my body into medically induced temporary menopause, Lupron. Even this didn't help. While on the Lupron my endometriosis spread and worsened. The exact opposite of what was supposed to happen.

Hair loss, a side effect of Lupron and the anasthesia used during surgery.

After the Lupron we did excision surgery, got rid of ALL the endo in my body. BUT for whatever reason I'm still in daily pain. Currently we're treating my endo with the mini pill, an progesterone only birth control. I do use essential oils and other natural treatments to help with the pain and inflammation that goes along with endo. I also just started seeing a pain specialist to hopefully get some help getting the pain under control.
