  Robdar, I had endometrois really bad in my late teens and 20's. I tryed many times to treat it with lazor surgury, but it always came back, worse than the last. Even though I knew I wanted children one day, I couldn't take the pain anymore. After my last lazor surgury, I had to have an emergency complete hysterectomy. I was 28. I regret not having children though. Sometimes that's really tough, but somethings we just don't have control over. After my hysterectomy, it was like someone had taken a knief out of my lower back. The pain was gone, in fact, I had forgot what it was like to live pain free, I had been sick for so long.

  p.s. Robdar, let us know what you end up having done, K? We'll be thinking about'cha! If you decide to have a hysterectomy, remember to not do too much at first, don't over do it. You will be tired for awhile too. I was so sick prior to mine, it took me almost a year to feel back to normal. I went back to work before I should have too, but I was the only one supporting myself at the time and didn't have a choice. Give yourself at least 8 weeks before you go back to work. I also stopped taking estrogen about 6 months ago because of the health risks of breast cancer. It runs in my family. Please keep us informed on how you are doing, k?

  Anybody got a baby they want to give me!
