Cass me too! I even send them the link for my video (see below for this informative little snippet on endo) ... when you almost have to excuse yourself for eating well, cos apparently you're already skinny enough, and not wanting to die of heart disease isn't really an excuse. ...you feel you should educate certain gynae staff on the far reaching consequences of endo. Some of them seriously do not know. ...you know for a fact that book-smarts does not equal common sense, and you can thank any number of doctors for helping you reach that conclusion ...you are surprised by compassion in doctors. Almost brought to tears by it.

...you wonder what your personality is really meant to be, cos the drug treatments, painkillers and crazy hormones give you something like bi-polar disorder (anyone who's had GnRH or drug sensitivity will know this all too well)

Cherry, I can totally relate to the bipolar disorder comment. I was actually online researching about this the other day because I honestly thought this must be what is wrong with me. I have had 5 monthly injections of Lupron and I am a completely different person than I used to be.

you think that being in meopause at 27 and feeling like you have alzheimers is much better than crippling period and GI pain....
(just got home from my annual bone scan, i think the dot was in the green zone which is good but go back to gynae on friday for bone density results after 2 yrs on GnRh, will keep u posted)

you refer to the girls on this board in general conversation with friends to have them say who is Ouchy? Tess and Cherry?? and rather than have them think you are Cybil you change the topic of conversation

as a follow on from your menopausals Cass... you find yourself giving women twice your age advice on how to deal with various aspects of menopause (and I know for a fact I have it worse than the natural ones cos I don't see anyone else dripping with sweat, ick) as they slip slowly and confortably into the hormonal abyss, whilst you were shoved in head first
And I always refer to the endo girls in real life, and pretend not to hear when people ask what I'm talking about. My boyfriend is used to it now, having spoken to Cass personally!

These are so funny....
-when you have pain in your dreams. - when you friends come to you to ask what to take for their cramps because they know you're an expert and you start off by saying is it just bothering you or preventing you from doing stuff - when your friends says ugh I have my period I'm going for a run and you want to kill them because the last time you tried to exercise during your period you nearly passed out -when you ask your friends if you can carry their children on the off chance that you might have 9 pain free months - the best is walking pharmacy..so true

Tess and Cherry?? and rather than have them think you are Cybil you change the topic of conversation HAHA my husband calls you guys my uterus friends. I have since adopted that nickname of you guys when I bring up this forum in conversation. I always have to explain myself when I say, " oh and this one time one of my uterus friends said..." I usually get strange looks. HAHA!

when you seriously look into being a surrogate mom...
all the things i saw said you had to have had a baby... damnit.. I thought this would be the perfect thing...having a child for someone who cant.... Cause if i cant have kids I'd want someone like me to carry my kid.. health conscious, kind, drug/alcohol free, caring... le sigh... I just dont think i'm quiet ready for kids myself... but giving and being endo reduced/free would have been nice...

You traded in your cute feminine night stand for a Dining room table to hold all your meds, water, hot pads, etc... to be within easy reach at any time day or night!
I love them all ladies, I had a good laugh today!
