For me, the cramps I feel in my legs aren't like charlie horses, more like a dull ache that starts in my low back and pelvic region, travels down the front of my thighs and continues down to my ankles. I have been telling my husband about this for ages, he gives me really good ankle rubs when I'm having this problem. I was reading about endometriosis the other day and one of the symptoms was aches/cramps in your legs and I thought OMG! that's me!

So when you took the med for 6 months and went into menopause, did you stay in menopause after you stopped the drug? While it would be a tough 6 months, I WOULD LOVE THAT!!!!!

Honestly, I used to dream of getting a hysterectomy but my mom's friend got one last year and when I heard the details, I got chicken about the whole thing. Anyway, I'll see the gyne in three weeks so maybe I'll find some good solutions.

I've had similar pain during intercourse, too, but my doc just figures it's associated with menopause -- early onset due to hysterectomy. Prior to diagnosis, I was told I had adenemyosis a cousin to endo. He's just given me vaginal hormone suppositories I use twice a week. What a hassle! If anyone can give me any info to give to him, let me know. My docs are learning about celiac disease right along with me.

The Lupron is for the treatment of endometriosis and after your last dose it takes about 2 months to get over it and it's back to normal periods and no more hot flashes. For me it was a godsent, I was only 20 and not even dating anyone much less ready for a family. They were conserned that my fertility was at stake. It's not a cure all, the endometriosis can return. THey told me it would be seven years. It's been 5 and just now my periods are getting heavier again and my cramps are getting worse, but NOTHING like it was before! I would do it again (although unpleasent) if I had to. It's a rough 6 months, but in comparison to the monthly hell I say it's worth it!! ;)

Wow, thanks for the info. That sounds really intense, but I can understand. I'll do some research on that. Though the rough 6 months is pretty daunting.

Good to know what options exist out there.

Thanks!

How do they do a test to notice that you have endometrioso?

Is the pain on the outside or inside?

I have cysts and they can hurt. (inside)

I went my doctor and he said that I have vestublites (that may be spelt wrong) and this hurts on the outside. It's simply another allergic reaction. I have to wear cotton, white underwear and only use detergents without any dyes or parfume. I cannot use saop with any scent. My Dr. recommended neutrogena. Also do not d%$#@#$!!! I didn't know you are not suppose to and this brought on a PID infection which is one of the worse things that I have ever experienced!! Also, use unscented and white tp, and unscented tampons.

I have been doing this for a few weeks now and I am feeling much better.

I hope this may help!!!!!

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
