Hello Ladies,
 
Well, thought I'd come vent here.  Today, like most other days, started with spotting (AGAIN).  And then around 10 this mornin I started feeling absolutely awful.  I went to the bathroom to discover I was passing huge dark brown, almost black, clots.  I was in so much pain, I could hardly walk.  I was dizzy and could hardly move from pain and cramps.  Since then I have rested, but they just keep on comin.  It is totally gross and extremely painful.  Well, i am open to any suggestions, as for what I could possibly do (besides heat and advil/tylenol/morphine pills) 
That's about enough for now, I'll try keep updating.

Well the ugly brown clots have kind of left again.
Now it is just normal spotting....I go see my gyn today, so we'll see what he has to tell me. 
i'm hoping that it was what u said Angel, a good cleaning out of the system! (naturally!!)
Anyhow, i'll let you ladies know what doc has to say later on today!

So....I just got back from the doctor.....and, no, i am not too impressed with what needs to be done.  He will need to do surgery.  However, here there is a huge baby boom happening, so he is extremely booked with c-sections.  So i cannot have it done till October 30.  that means another 2 months of this.  He plans on removing as much junk as possible (from my bladder, colon, and anywhere else) by laparoscopy, as well as doing a D&C and a hysteroscopy.  So yeah, i will try to hang in there till then, and we will see what happens.  I am just hoping that I get bumped up....seeing that I am the only one on the waiting list rite now, it mite happen.

Clara, from the discription of the clots it sounds more like you are passing very old blockage.  That's a good thing even though painful.  Be sure to take your iron so that your body will replace what you have lost.  Be very careful of the amount and types of pain meds you are taking as they tend to thin your blood.

Oh that sounds miserable! I'm sorry you have to wait so long for your surgery. Did your dr have any pain management suggestions for you?

I still think it's like what Shellie (tp121) said...but hey what do we know..hehe..sometimes more than docs...Shellie posted an update with the fibrovan company..they have designed one for just endo girlies..might be worth looking into if you are out of the other stuff...anyhoo..hope you know I think of you often..and one of these days we have to meet up! sending you huge huggz..Angel

Thanks ladies!
 
Well this week has been terrible.  I haven't gone to work all week because I have been getting these terrible cramps that make my whole body hurt, and I feel like I am gonna faint.  They come so often and I am having a very hard time dealing with them, since they are so unpredictable.  I see my gyn on Wednesday (next week) and I wanna try and convince him to do surgery earlier.....not sure how i will do that yet, but......!  There is no way I can go on like this till October 30.  Anyhow, I am trying to do my online english course rite about now...good thing it is not that hard.  I will try to post an update if things change!
Clara
