Having dealt with this for over half of my life you can be sure that I've tried everything. I've had 3 laps, done 2 rounds of Lupron and endless months of birth control pills.

I know what you mean, I've dealt with endo for more than 1/2 my life and because it wasn't treated when I was young I can no longer have children without IVF.

I get completely jacked up before surgery and you'd think as many times as I've been through it that it would seem like no big deal anymore...not true.

Versed is a good choice, it...
