Endometriosis Truths - Part 2 of 2
11) If your Dr recommends laparoscopic surgery to confirm endometriosis and says they will also remove any they find, ASK how they will remove it.
 12) Excision ( cutting it out ) is the only way to permanently remove that endometriosis nodule. Unfortunately there are very few true excision experts, only about 100 so chances are your Dr will burn, ablate, fulgurate it. Many women have to travel to be treated by an excision expert. 13) Most Dr’s will ablate ( burn with a laser), vaporize or fulgurate. These methods DO NOT permanently get rid of the endo nodule. Think of it as a weed in a garden. If you only cut off the top ( ablate, etc.,) the root is still intact and the weed ( endo nodule) will still be there and continue to become symptomatic and cause problems. 
 14) Ablation destroys the surface tissue so samples cannot be sent for pathology confirmation. If the nodule is deep and penetrating, the Dr cannot tell if they have completely destroyed it. 15) Ablation can leave carbon deposits permanently changing the appearance of that area. Further surgeries for endo ( and with ablation you will likely need future surgeries) will be more difficult as the endo may not be visibly present in areas previously ablated.
 16) If you have endo on your bowels, bladder, intestines or other organs, they will refuse to ablate, etc., it so the endo will be left untreated. An endo excision expert will be able to get it excised whether it is on bowels, bladder., etc. 
 17) Hysterectomy may be recommended. THIS DOES NOT STOP ENDOMETRIOSIS, unless you have adenomyosis (endometriosis within the uterus muscles) and no where else. Endometriosis nodules can produce their own estrogen. Post menopausal women have still had active endometriosis with symptoms/pain. 
 18) Just because you have been diagnosed with endometriosis does not mean you can’t conceive. Many women with endometriosis become pregnant and give birth to a healthy baby. It depends where your endometriosis is and how severe it is.
 19) Getting pregnant does not mean your endometriosis will be gone. It may be better while pregnant, but usually returns afterwards. 
 20) The overwhelming numbers of Drs and RNs and other heath professionals do not understand how severe the symptoms and pain of endometriosis can be for some women. They don’t understand the effect on daily life,
i.e., education, employment, financial, relationships, social life, or symptoms of pain, nausea, depression, frustration, appetite, difficulty with urination, bowel movements. 
 21) Many women have found a mild to moderate decrease in severity of their symptoms with an anti-inflammatory diet, gentle yoga, meditation, mindful breathing and mild exercise. The best thing you can do is educate yourself. These sites have excellent information and are reliable sources. 
( remember, I’m a RN so you can count on the information in these sites as accurate). Disclaimer, I’m not associated with either site or practice nor do I receive any kind of compensation. http://www.centerforendo.com/ http://m.facebook.com/Endopaedia You will have to log into Facebook to access the endopaedia site. Another good site is Nancy’s Nook for Endometriosis on Facebook. It is a closed group so you will have to request to join. There is evidenced based information and resources. There is also a referral list to the excision experts, some that do FREE medical reviews by mail for a second opinion. Hoping this information helps you in this challenging journey.
Endometriosis Truths - Part 1 of 2
As I was reading through the posts in #endometriosis, I really became angry at the physicians that are using outdated information and treatment on unsuspecting women. So this post is to give the Gold Standard Treatment information. I am a RN and only post evidenced based information. 1). Endo can only be diagnosed for certain through laparoscopic surgery and confirmed with pathology. Symptoms can be suggestive, but surgery is required for certainly. Lupron DOES NOT diagnose endometriosis. 
2) The appearance of endometriosis varies widely from clear, whitish to brown, black, red and in between. It can vary in appearance in color in the same person. 
3) There are women/teens that have endometriosis and no symptoms until they can’t get pregnant and then find out it is present and caused their Fallopian tubes to be blocked. 
4) The amount of endometriosis present does not necessarily correlate to the amount of pain or symptoms present. 
5) Endometriosis can be superficial or deep/penetrating. Both can occur in the same woman /teen.
 6) Endo symptoms can even occur before your first period and continue to get worse with time. 
7) Endo symptoms can occur during and around your period or every day.
 8) Birth Control Pills that decrease the level of estrogen and space out your periods may be effective in decreasing pain/symptoms for some women/teens.
 They will NOT erradicate the endometriosis though. 9) Lupron is often recommended as a treatment. IMHO, it is evil and you should run as fast as you can from the Dr that recommends it. It is a red flag that the Dr is using outdated treatment. The symptom relief, if any, only lasts as long as you are on Lupron and generally returns after the Lupron in no longer in your body. 
 10) Lupron was originally created as treatment for prostate cancer in men. It decreases estrogen levels. When used for endometriosis, it is given as an injection in strengths that lasts either for 1 for 3 months. The intention is to put your body in chemical menopause. Side effects can include hot flashes, anxiety, insomnia, mood swings, memory issues, hair loss, etc. It can also cause bone loss which is why maximum use is 12 months total per life. There are also permanent side effects that can happen such as joint pain, loss or delay of ovary functioning leading to infertility and others.
I think we’ve officially reached that annoying time in the year where it’s sweater weather in the morning, but by midday, if you wear a sweater, you die from heatstroke.
Kanga, missing this so much! It’s been a year tonight and we hope you have everything purple, cashmere and royal that you deserve. The day will come when we can be together once again. Until then, you are in our hearts, memories and dreams.

The irony of it all
After I fractured my ankle and tore a ligament, I had the walking skills normally seen in a baby trying out their upright mobility. After surgery and PT, I regained my coordination and only have a very slight limp occasionally, usually during flares. I was recently leaving the Dr's office when my foot/ankle decided it didn't want to go in the same direction as the rest of my body. Yup, almost face planted right there at the building entrance. Busy. Building. Entrance. Good thing I have a sense of humor or it would have been extremely embarrassing. Once stable and upright, I threw my arms in the air like an Olympic gymnast and said, the judges have to give me at least an 8 cause I stuck the landing!
Rain is on the way
I have discovered that I now have a built in weather predictor . . . my foot/ankle. Who says there aren't any benefits to having RSD/CRPS?
A happy ending . . .
My daughter has struggled with endometriosis and numerous disbelieving physicians for half her life. The endo eventually became so bad that it caused severe daily pain. She had to take medical leave from college and was illegally fired from work. After excision from a worldwide recognized endometriosis expert, there was about 2 years that she had some relief. She was told at that surgery that due to her young age, she might need a 2nd excision when she was about 25-26.
Determined to take her back to a recognized excision expert for the second excision, we took over a year to put together an out of network coverage request for insurance. It was a long and often frustrating battle but we eventually prevailed. She had surgery at the Center for Endometriosis Care in Atlanta, Ga a few weeks ago. Although it’s too soon to judge the full results of the surgery, her daily endo pain level has gone down slightly even during her first post surgery monthly cycle. I am hopeful that this is the beginning of the end of her journey with endo. The specialist at the CEC that did her surgery found endo in numerous places including her bowels. Because of his expertise, he was able to remove the endo, even from her bowels, and did a presacral neurectomy for suspected adenomyosis.
The CEC in Atlanta has been amazing. They do a free medical records review and phone consultation. The Dr is a specialist that does only gynecology surgery, specifically endometriosis and adenomyosis. The whole staff was gracious, supportive and actually took the time to listen to my daughter.
The truth is that there are only about 100 true endometriosis experts that have the advanced knowledge to recognize the many appearances that endo can have and the surgical skills to excise it from wherever it is located including the bowels, bladder, ureters, etc.
I wanted other women with endo to know there is hope if you can get to a true expert. Many Dr’s will claim that they are specialists but only about 100 out of the approximately 52,000 gynecologists are actually true specialists.
The link will take you to a map of the location of recognized experts that can do long term effective surgical excision of endo or a presacral neurectomy for adenomyosis.

If you have any questions on endo, adenomyosis or are frustrated with the medical treatment you are receiving, I will listen and give you some possible answers using my RN knowledge, experience as a woman that has personally had endo, adenomyosis and as a mother of a daughter with endo and possibly adenomyosis as well as the sister of a woman that has also gone down the same road.

Violet Petal Study
The drug used in this study is a pill form of Lupron. It does not stop endometriosis, just puts women into chemical menopause. Symptoms return after stopping the medication. There is also a limit to how long you can be on the medication due to side effects. Side effects which can be permanent, include joint pain, hair loss, memory problems, mood changes including depression, anxiety, loss of bone density and loss of ovarian function. There are many others I haven't listed. If you want children, ovarian function is necessary. The patent on Lupron was expiring. Many pharmaceutical companies will make a new form of a drug so they can continue to hold a patent. That means there can be no generic version sold so more $$$ for the pharmaceutical company. Now there is a new form of Lupron in pill form ( the Violet petal study among the other names that have been used for the same study). You make the connection. The company was also fined $80 million by the FDA for not giving all the side effect information to physicians. The information was said to be negative so it wasn't released. The only true way to get rid of endometriosis is to have it cut out, (excised) by a recognized expert. Ablation, which is just burning it, isn't thorough enough. It's like burning off the top of a weed. The root is still there so the weed hasn't been eliminated. There are only about 100 gynecologists with these advanced skills. The rest use outdated information and treatment plans. There is a Facebook page called 'Endopaedia' that has valuable information on endometriosis. There is also a web page from the Center for Endometriosis Care in Atlanta that has accurate and valuable information on Emdometriosis. http://www.centerforendo.com/ I was diagnosed with endo at 22 and my daughter was also diagnosed with endo. Fortunately there is better treatment and knowledge available today, although many gynecologists are using the same outdated information and treatment from when I was diagnosed many years ago.
See that sweet face? That’s Doobie! She’s living in New York, and she really needs someone to rescue her. Her owners decided they were going to move, so they kept her outside in a pen until they day came - and then they left, and she lives outside. It’s not even a dog house - no cover, no straw, no shelter! Poor thing is so lonely and doesn’t understand why she’s been abandoned!
Doobie is three years old and spayed. She’s a JRT mix. She’s not so good with cats, and although she was once a friendly and fast learner, she’ll need someone with patience and time to spare. Remember, this poor baby has basically been in isolation for months (since July at least!), so she needs to learn to trust again.
If you can help Doobie, please email [email protected]. Transport may even be available. And signal boost!
