Me too! I can still eat divinity, though. :D Hopefully they'll get my IBS stuff cleared up and I can go back to eating normal stuff again. ^_^ I imagine getting this menstrual crap taken care of will help a LOT, because the two are inter-related.
The ob/gyn said she thought I might have endometriosis, which is why I've been in so much pain. They prescribed me some weird, off the wall, super-expensive NSAID that's specifically for menstrual cramps from hell, but it's not working very well, either. -_-;; It works better than naproxin, though. It's called Ponstel, for those who wish to know. I'm also on Yaz now, too. I need to call her back and ask her if she said that she wanted me to take it non-stop or to go the four days in between packets, 'cause I don't remember, LOL.
Dr. Harris (the ob/gyn) said they might do that surgery where they burn off the lining of the uterus...man, that'd be awesome. NO MORE PERIODS!! :D
"Have you been there after Katrina though? I have no idea what it looks like now, and I was only there once!"
My mom was and she took a bunch of pictures...if you've seen the TV show Invasion, that's about what it looked like. Just like, in a city setting instead of a more rural one. I'm personally kind of afraid to go back there now, New Orleans was bad enough before the hurricane, I can't imagine how scary it is now. O.o;
"I still hope the cyst isn't cancerous though ♥!"
Agreed! Which is why I said I almost hoped it was cancerous so they'd take everything out. Cancer is bad news no matter how you slice it. Blerg. -_-;;
Wow, now that's a lot of medication/DRUGS o-O! I hope you don't get any side-effects from them!
Sigh, being period-less sounds like a dream 8}! My OB/GYN doctor did suggest I get my uterus scraped because of my extra heavy periods, but I took a pass on that suggestion! She said the lining would grow back if it were just scraped, so what's the point ;P?
Make sure you report back here when the procedure is done, so I know how you're doing though ♥!
"Wow, now that's a lot of medication/DRUGS o-O! I hope you don't get any side-effects from them!"
Tell me about it. -_-;; That isn't even all of them. :( The Yaz has me a little worried, because I'm already on a bunch of stuff that can cause circulatory system problems, and I've been getting heart flutters with it. I'm going to be calling the doctor about that, too. It might just be a temporary thing that happens when you first start the medicine. That's what happened with Celexa, but of course, I want to be sure.

Huh. From what I understand, it's not supposed to grow back - that's the whole point. o.O It also greatly lowers your risk of pregnancy. Even if an egg cell gets fertilized, it still has to attach to the lining of the uterus to grow into an embryo. No lining, no embryo - the fertilized egg gets flushed out. :D
"Make sure you report back here when the procedure is done, so I know how you're doing though ♥!"
Oh, sure thing, I still need to go update my journal, too. LOL. Thank you for caring, sweetie - it makes me feel better. :)
Heart fluttering is a side-effect o~O?! That definitely doesn't sound right! Yes, definitely check that out! Anything heart or chest related needs to be taken care of PRONTO!
My OB/GYN doctor just wanted to scrape my uterus with a metal spatula/shoehorn or something, so the tissue would grow back in time. It sounds like your doctor wants to laser burn off the tissues in your uterus, so I doubt the lining would be able to grow back after that. She said she would have sedated me for the procedure for comfort sake, but I still passed on that ;b.
Good luck again, and I hope everything goes smoothly ♥!
