Raising Money For Ethiopian Orphans
Ask Dr. Amy, Did you know?, children
I was diagnosed with endometriosis over a year ago. My periods have alwaysbeen heavy and painful ever since I can remember. My doctor down in GreenBay, WI put me on Lupron Depo for 7months and it took all my pains away andmy period, which was a miracle to me. I’m only 23 years old, have 2 youngchildren, and am a stay at home mom. After the 7mths on the Lupron Depo, Igot the Depo Prevera shot and had my period for 2 1/2-3 weeks. Now my painsare starting to return and I was put on the Seasonique b/c pill until mydoctor up here gets more Lupron Depo along with a hormone pill okayed by myinsurance. I’ve been reading this book called Hormone Hell to Hormone Wellby C.W. Randolph, JR, M.D. about all the bad things that happen on synthetichormones.
