Well, it's back to the grind stone again.
I have been away and busy with "life" -- closing other blogs, raising children, moving several times, changing jobs....and oh yes, battling with Endo!
Yes, it's back and worse than before.
The Marina was taken out due to multiple infections and other side effects.
I started a pain journal on my phone (My Pain Diary), which has been very helpful in seeing patterns and tracks not only pain, but anything else you want to track as well. Through this and time, I know that my endometriosis is back with vengence and is worse than before. YES! :) Many of you can relate to this I am sure.
My resolve? I have settled on several options. Which one will I deside on? I'm not sure yet. But none-the-less, here they are.
1. Pregnancy!
*Not my favorite option due to the fact that all 3 of my pregnancies were HARD and 6 months of vomiting are not exactly appealing either.*
2. Radical Surgery (they remove ALL endo down to the roots, so it does not return)
*Costly (among other issues) b/c most of the docs who do this are not covered under insurances or are out of network and also travel costs b/c there are not many of them.*
3. Violet Petal Study (Which I was invited to apply for)
* Pretty much decided against this one already from the reading I have done on the study and about the views many of the specialists have on the subject of medication - a last ditch possibility for me.*
We have one more move until I can finalize my decision.
Any thoughts out there?
