ADVICE PLEASE FOLLOWING LAPRAOSCOPY
Had laparoscopy on the 10th April for diagnosis of endo which they didn't find, my consultant on the day told me to come off my cocodomol which I was taking daily and also to come off my Depo Provera as my hormone levels were very low after being on it for 4years. I have come off my cocodomol and on

I spoke too soon - the pain is BACK!!!! And talking of backs.......
Hi all, about a week ago I was 100% sure that my symptoms and pain had improved AFTER stopping the Depo-Provera treatment but I now have to say that I was WRONG! It is back again. : ( . I stopped the Depo at the beginning of March because I felt I did not benefit at all from being on it as I still had

What were your experiences with Depo Provera Injection for endo treatment?
Hi everyone - went back to see my gynae after such bad endo pain for the last six months. I had a lap last march which I had mild endo burnt off which helped. Pain then returned, and have been on contraceptive pill since which hasn't helped really. They've suggested the depo provera pill for pain management

Can anyone tell me whether they experience the same severe fatigue and weight loss with Endometriosis?
Hi ladies, I have Endometriosis for 4-5 years, just recently this past year I have had severe fatigue, I am talking severe. I get a good 8 hours sleep at night and within an hour of waking up I go back to sleep for the whole day. Is this a problem anyone else has had? I am on the Depo-Provera shot and

Intern who prescribed azithr will be at the hosp./Thursday.Will call then
Hi, I called the hospital to speak with the treating intern from last night and she will not be working again, until Thursday. Will be on the phone, tomorrow, with my doctor. medrol and macrolides are not a good mix. The intern apparently believed I had "rheumatoid artheritis" not "temporal arteritis

Emer. Room/Last Night/Pneumonia/prescribed azirothmycin
Hi Everyone, Thanks for the good information on quilones and medrol. I am taking methylpredisolone and I don't have as bad a reaction, as happens with prednisone. They gave it to me during a flare, by injection. Last night at the ER, I was diagnosed with pneumonia. The doctor prescribed azirothmycin

Is my immune system on the blink?
I've had PMR for four years, I started on 20mg of Medrol and am now down to 4mg ( there have a few flares along the way) I want to reduce the dose even further if possible. I'm feeling good as regards muscle pain but in the last few months have been plagued by minor infections. A bad sinus attack, oral

Mirena Coil vs Depo Provera injection?
Hi ladies, I have unconfirmed endometriosis, not had a lap to actually find it but 4 years ago I had a burst cyst that they thought was appendicitis, so had one then with general surgeons, who unfortunately didn't look for the endo! However, all doctors that I have seen are pretty sure I have it. Anyway

Birth control and antibiotics (not worried about being pregnant, worried about the endo pain and growth).
Ok, you know how we are to be careful when taking antibiotics and birth control because of possibly getting pregnant? I am not worried about that, I am more worried about the endo pain if taking antibiotics. Will it stop the birth control ( I just started the Depo Provera shot) from working properly

Found link to Christine Northrup and information on adrenal dysfunction
Hi Everyone, I found the link from Christine Northrup on adrenal dysfunction. Her advice is good and I find it helps.A major difference is that we are not dealing with stress related Adrenal dysfunction, it is medicine related, but the advice is good, it seems. Another bad storm here and I missed

Hi.thank everyone for their support last weekend.
Have been to the rheumatologist this week and had the methetextrate injection on Monday and the Cushing's type symptoms don't seem so evident, nor as bad. Very bad weekend. and I have had a couple of bad days this week. The advice is best, if you feel this -- give yourself "leave" to relax. This

How long did it take you to return to normal after being on the depo provera injection?
Hi all, I have severe endometriosis and after almost back to back surgeries and after Zoladex was put on the depo provera injection. I think all in all I was on it for 18 months or just over. I just wanted to get a range of how long it took for people to go back to having periods as normal, I know

Is it possible to have methetextrate withdrawal, which includes heavy fatigue? Or is it the adrenals not highly functioning?
Missed the appt. w/Dr. this Wed. for injection of methetextrate and slowly since Wed. have been feeling more and more fatigued. today it's very bad. I took the 3 mgs of medrol. I called the Dr. and asked about taking 2 more mgs of medrol. She said, "Yes" to do it. I did, felt better for a few hours

Anyone thought of coming off Depo Provera because of their weight gain?
I have severe stage 4 Endo. My surgeon could not remove a cyst because it was so badly stuck! I have been on Depo Provera for 9 months now and have put on about 2 stone in weight and have gone from an 8-10 to 12-14 in clothes! I know this injection fools your body into thinking it's pregnant but my tummy
