the hard thing with the endo, is it is a beast of a pain, i didn't want to do the depo, but i was getting to the point of not being able to take care of my kids well. dh was having to take a day or two off.
my plan with the dr. is to try the depo for a year plus one cycle and then see if i can go off of it. so far, it has helped me 90% which the dr. thinks means i will not neccessarly have to take the depo forever. i got relief pretty fast, and she thinks that means the shot is dissolving what ever adhesions i have pretty rapidly, we hope that we stopped it before it got pretty bad and that once the adhesions are gone, my body will begin to heal itself.
i have been reading a book on natural healing which stresses diet (almost exactly heather's ibs diet), yoga, and calming de-stressing techniques. i do believe this will help me heal, as i have found that changing my diet two years ago "cured" my pcos (within 1 year). when i was diagnosed with pcos i was told i'd have it for life and they didn't know why i had, my cholestrol was good, i didn't seem too overweight, and my hormones checked out fine. well, its obvious that changing my diet (i stopped all forms of diary cold turkey, and stopped eating out cold-turkey) made me loose weight, and then my periods came. now when i go to the doctor concerned about my weight (102lbs) they tell me i'm perfect and that i was 5lbs. away from being considered obese before. they never said anything about my weight, in fact that was one of the first things that ruled normal...go figure.
hopefully i will be able to heal from the endo also, and manage my ibs.
