ff I used to take Clomid when I was trying for a baby; agree with everyone (sends ((((hugs)))) to everyone, thinks of them) - best your daughter sees specialist, gets to 'root' of problem.

With my bro (dif topic) we read, devoured everything in sight, learnt to speak 'lingo', earned their respect, got what was needed for him.

Sound advice on this board, keep it going will help others. x

Hi FF

I am undergoing zoladex injections been suffereing for nearly 8 years with pelvic pain, drs told me it was ibs but seen gastro dr and everything was fine. had 2 laps although no endo visable (various colours have been reported although not in my case) my gynea cant understand how the zolly is helping when it only works on endo (apparently I don't have it !!!) although both sisters did and had hysts done.

She has my empathy cause it is absolutly horrible what you have to put up with.

Has she tried this site I have found some really good friends and support here...
www.endometriosis-uk.org

Love
Catherine

This is serious condition hun, but you know me. Do me favour look up side effects of morphine, I was doubled over. If causing pain, p'killers can be changed, if not hopefully will ease pain.

Make sure she is referred to a specialist endometriosis gynae surgeon, there is alot of help if you are referred to the right person, there are medications that can help and endo can be helped surgically too but can't be cured forever, pregnancy calms it down as alot of endo (not all) feeds on oestrogen which is reduced in pregnancy, so if planning to have a family best to try early as can cause fertility problems, there is a national endometriosis society which you can join and offers support, sorry she is so unwell, Bel

Gosh, your sister too Doc, so sad. Good advice hun for ff.

LA, so sad, must have been awful to have to take that route.

ff Totally agree - monies always available for weapons, Olympics lol! Time they used our money to do something useful like helping those who need it!

Don't normally judge but my heart goes out on this occasion.
