To keep the story short, I will say that I have tried EVERYTHING out there. Pill, patch, ring, shot, and am currently trial running the Nexplanon sub-dermal arm implant. It isn’t helping. So I have decided to try Mirena IUD. If this doesn’t work, then I am having a total hysterectomy and oophorectomy(removal of uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes). I have been dealing with Endometriosis since I was 17. I am 32 now, and I am at my mental, physical and emotional end.

I gave my first and only child up for adoption, and I am more concerned about being able to lead a normal life than ruining my chances of having another kid. I have discussed this at length with my partner, and he agrees. Plus we can always adopt.

So, ladies, preferably with Mirena experience and/or endometriosis, tips, tricks, valid concerns?

Not trying to start a flame war. Trying to start a legitimate discussion, hard though that may be for this place, but lets try, ne?

Since the male football player took a knee of the field during the Pledge, a backlash has occurred, with our Idiot and Chief has made it mandatory for the NFL to either participate, or be totally absent. We call that Nationalism, and it is a short leap to tyranny.

I stopped acknowledging the Pledge a few years ago. Not because I don’t support the troops; I have/had friends who served. It is not to show my lack of pride that I live in a country where I CAN choose to not stand for it.

I refuse to acknowledge the Pledge, currently, because I cannot have pride for a nation that is disgracing the Constitution. Trump’s new ruling with the NFL is directly in violation of our Constitution and our basic civil rights.

Just curious, do you/don’t you participate, and why/why not?

I moved from Houston, TX to Phoenix,AZ a little over 9 years ago now. Ever since I have lived here, I would become plagued with an intense itch in my right ear, feeling it it is coming from behind the ear drum. J have used hydrogen peroxide (with a doctor’s guidance), ear candles (to remove lose excess wax), and have had bothbears throughly examined. I was give what are essentially calamine lotion ear drop for the symptomns, but never a diagnois. I have pluged te ear woth cotton at night, bought room humidifiers...I am losing my mind. It feels like an inner/middle ear problem, but nonobe cane seem to find one. i have a acheduled appointmetnwith my current GP on Tuesday abd plannto have hikm check it out, as he hasn’t yet. Any ideas or suggestions for relief until then are welcome. I am to the point that I am thinking if I just rupture the ear drun, the fluid or whatever would leave, and the ifching will stop. And sorry if thdfe Re typos, I amsending this via smart phone and have auto-complete disabled.

Who else is happy that Fred Phelps is dead? Holiday in my house.

So I just got diagnosed with this lovely immune system disorder, and being so lucky as I am, I fall into the <10 % who have it due to medications. That same 10% also tend to develop to the major form, with mucous membrane sores and lesions. Oh joy of joys.

So I guess my question is, if anyone on here has it, knows someone who does, or practices medicine and knows a bit about it...

What is the recurrence rate? I saw on dermznet that it can have multiple flare ups a years for many years. But does it go into a dormant stage similar to plaque psoriasis, or is it one of those things that will trigger at any old slight? Thanks in advance.

...is one of the best apps ever? Being my own sky wizard is fun! Trolol!
