Hello Everyone,
I just want to put up an advanced warning that this could be a long post - I apologzie.
Lately, I've been feeling pretty funky. I'm not feeling very motivated, I'm tired all the time (although, I know part of the exhaustion is from the pain medication and the fact I've been bleeding for 21 consecutive days), and I feel confused and overwhelmed.
I have had intense pain since the first day of period which was when I was 11 years old. I had my first laparoscopy in 10th grade, and I have tried many bcp's and pain medications. This past Monday I ended up in the ER because of pain, and I followed up with my doctor on Tuesday. I was feeling so vulnerable, and I was hurting so much, that I just sort of took her advice to try Lupron.
Now that I read about other people's experiences, and I feel as if I have some control again, I'm nervous. I don't want to deal with the hot flashes and other side-effects I've read about. I also don't want to get injections in my bum. It makes me feel really vulnerable. It's just been hard to go to school, and nanny, and do everything else I have to do. But, at the same time, I don't feel like I can miss my activities and responsibilites, so I end up feeling worse and more tired at the end of my days.
I just feel sad and blah, I guess. I just hope the Lupron works, and I can get back to normal.
I'm sure so many, if not all of you have felt this way at some point. So, I apologize for my complaining. I hope you all have a relaxing, enjoyable, and pain-free weekend.
