www.theorganichouse.com.au/category65_1.htm(scroll down) Here's a link if you want to know more about Bach's Flower Essences - there are lots of individual essences but what I'm recommending is the Rescue Remedy which has a combination and is perfect for when you're feeling at your wits end. It gives a gentle helping hand. You can get it at most chemists or health food stores. I think its around $16AUD. OK enough of that, and back to the main topic of the thread

I had heard of endometriosis before i was diagnosed but had no idea how it really effects a womans health. It's not only something which effects us physically but mentally too. So far i haven't had anything removed but have had chocolate cysts and adhesions in the past. when i was told i had endo i didn't think that it would be such a great deal. I was naive to think that the lap would clear up everything and that i was "CURED". How wrong was I Earlier on today i had a pelvic scan which has shown a polyp on my womb. The first thing i did was to come back home and search polyp on the net. Having read the problems that come with it and another operation on the way, i have been crying my eyes out. Even though i am about to hit my 30 years..i cried on the phone to my mum. I feel really low at the moment..being childless for 8 years and having endo has left me like a stranger to my friends. I have put on so much weight..that my knees are beginning to hurt..and i am out of breath after climbing a few stairs. I don't eat junk food or laze around. Nothing seems to be going right and i feel like i have been pushed into a corner I also suffer with panic attacks. I am currently on anti-depressents and have been on them for the past 2 years. It's good to talk to people who know wot i am going through..we might not be able to cure each others illness at least we can "understand" what each one of us is going through. I pray for each and everyone of us to have the courage and strength to be able to take each day as it comes.

I used to do that even when i wasn't registered here..would u believe it I used to come here looking for answers for questions the docs couldn't answer. I think there was a thread on bladder problems and how endo can effect it. As u know i suffer with an irritable bladder and was happy to know that the reason for the sudden instability could be due to me having endo. i mentioned this to my urologist and he just fobbed it off saying ..No this cannot happen and it could be that these ladies just have an infection. I mentioned this to my gyno and they are now investigating a possible link Shona i'm feeling lots better..as the last two days have been painful because of the pelvic scan.
