I have looked up the book and see that is endorsed by the endo assoc (huge plus) so my surgeon does know Dr. Cook since my surgeon happens to be on the endo assoc board.
Good luck w/everything,

I eat a good diet. I avoid dairy, soy, gluten, high fructose corn syrup, all artificial sweeteners, processed food. I take fish oil, vit d, and K, I also use turmeric, and a multivitamin. I also drink ginger tea.
I know Lupron is a powerful drug. I have tried the natural way to control my endo and did well for four years. I have an endo specialist for my doctor who wants the best for his patients. I trust my doctor. (My doctor may even know Dr. Cook because he is good friends with all the endo specialists .) I do know about Dr. Cook I have recommended him to others. Not only the Lupron help with my pelvic pain but it also helps with my migraines (which all my neurologists could not do.) Endo is a syndrome and has more than one cause and what may work for one person may not work for another.
I am not happy to be on Lupron but at this point in time nothing else works. I have read too many ways how to cure endo naturally than I care to think about. By the way heating pads are NOT the way to go because this increases the inflammation caused by endo. Ice packs work much better and longer.
Where can I find what he writes? I am seeing Dr. Leyland for my Endo. And the Lupron is just a step to finding out if my Endo is causing the really bad pain I have been having. It is the cause he will be taking other steps to cure me (I'm hoping). But I think it is working. I mean my period is less painful this month! It is just light spotting, it hasn't been heavy all month! Which in my books, is awesome! I have 2 more months of the Lupron/ hormone therapy. So, who knows, maybe it will be worth it to be on it!
Lupron is a very powerful drug. Don't take it!!! I always tell fellow endometriosis sufferers that drugs and temporary fix surgeries are not the answer. Read-Stop Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain by the doctor himself-Andrew S Cook. Instead of giving temporary relief, he will cure your endometriosis. Most doctors are ridiculous but he actually cares and wants the best for you. I was at a chiropractor visit and the nurse was telling me about how her daughter has horrible endometriosis and that her surgery is next month by this same doctor. What are the odds. Lupron is making you pretend that the pain is not there like morphine. It is not curing the cause. Have a good diet, take advil way before your period starts, have hot water bottles and heating pads ready until your surgery to cure your endoemtriosis once and for all.
the longer your on lupron the less you'll get of a period, and the pain should ease
My period came and it is not as heavy or painful as it was last month!! I barely have bleeding and barely any pain!! Just have like bleeding almost like spotting and that's it! Gotta say, I'm loving it! Lol
I love that I do not have a period and being on Lupron also helps keep my migraines under control.
How long have you been on Lupron? If you have just started it you will have one more period but after that you should not get one while you get the injections. Are you getting the one month, three month, or six month?
