Severe Endometriosis

Hello,

I hope someone can help me. I'm 32 yrs old and have been married for 4 1/2 Yrs and have no childrenI was diagnosed with severe endometriosis in 2011 via laparoscopy. In 2011 doctors removed a 9cm cyst from my right ovary and they could not even touch the left side due to severe adhesions. After surgery i was put on birth control pills for almost 4 months. After being on bcp doctors decided it was right time to go for ivf. The ivf was unsuccessful. They did a 3 day embryo transfer but embryo didnt implant and none of the other ones progressed to the stage where they could be frozen. I was given a few months to try on my own then in june of 2012 i was put on lupron shots for 6 months with no add back hormone. I was in a state of menopause because of those shots. I had a hsg test done before the ivf which showed fluid in the left tube. In sept 2012 i had a consultation for my second ivf cycle. The doctor decided to do another laparoscopy to make sure that there was no fluid in the tubes. In dec 2012 i had my second laparascopy and doctor removed a 7 cm cyst from the right ovary and clipped the left tube as there was fluid in it. They couldnt get to my left ovary and left the cyst untouched. I went in for my second ivf in january which again was unsuccessful. This time embryo quality was great and it was a 5 day transfer. Doctors were not able to freeze any of the embryos. This time they couldnt really tell what happened except for that my uterine lining didnt thicken evenly but it should have still supported the implantation. About 2 months ago i started some homeopathic treatment. After my ivf i had periods and skipped one month and the following month i had very light and almost pain free periods. This month my periods were 5 days late and they are excruciatingly painful. I get so much pain that even morphine doesnt work at times. The doctor has prescribed me marijuana for pain but i dont want to take it. The homeopathic remedies i am currently taking are pleo niger, female tonic, pleo sanuvis, and pleo alka. I get very nauseous and dizzy and get terrible cramps and bloating and weight gain. I also suffer from Irritable bowel syndrome and have extra heartbeat which sometimes causes palpitations. Once again the doctors have given me a few months to try to conceive on my own. Due to my condition they are saying that the chances are only about 1%. My married life, career, and social life are all being impacted because of this condition. Please help me. My next doctor's appointment is in 2 weeks where they will decide how much longer i can wait before another ivf. I would rather conceive naturally than going for a 3rd ivf. If all else fails and i have to go for a 3rd ivf then the doctor will do a uterine biospy right before the ifv as it has shown to improve implantation.
Kindly let me know if there is a treatment in homeopathy available for me and what are the chances of getting cured. Also through homeopathic treatment will i be able to conceive naturally?
Prompt reply will be much appreciated. I am very desperate at this point.
Thanks!

5. When did it all start? Can you connect it to any past event or disease?
It all started when i first got my period. My periods have always been excruciatingly painful and somewhat irregular. In 2002 doctors first found the cyst. I am prone to getting cysts both endometriomas and functional cyst. 4 1/2 yrs ago after when i got married and tried to conceive and was unsuccessful thats when doctor suggested that i might have endometriosis and after a few trips to emergency they decided to go ahead with laparoscopy.

I dont really know. I have changed my diet. I used to drink milk a lot. Now i only use it for tea and that too only few times a week. I dont eat any meat other than chicken & fish. I have started eating vegetables.
Stress alleviates the pain. I try to do yoga whenever i can. Surgeries have helped but only for a short term


8. Do your think your sufferings have relation to any external stimuli (like, change of place) or any internal biological changes in the body, like, menses (in females)?
Its all internal and somewhat weather related


9. When do you feel better, during hot weather or cold weather, humid or dry weather?
Emotionally i feel better when its hot and sunny. Other than that weather doesn't make a difference

10. Describe your general mental set up? Are you Moody, Arrogant, Mild, Agreeable Changeable, Nervous, Suspicious, Easily offended, Quiet, Arguing, Irritating, Lazy etc.
I am a very sensitive, hard working easy going, somewhat shy person. I do get moody at times but i try to control it. I often cry on small things but try to keep all the crying to myself. I tend to get angry very quickly now.

- How do you feel before or during a thunderstorm?
Never thought about it. I just want my family to be safe

- Do you like being consoled during your tough times?
Yes i would like to

- Are you sensitive to external stimuli like smell, noise, light etc?
Light mainly

- Do you have any typical habit or gesture like nail biting, causeless
weeping, talking to one self etc?
As a child i use to bite my nails now only occasionally. At times causeless weeping but thats usually due to my condition and specially infertility

- How do you feel about your friends, family, your children and especially your husband / wife?
My friends dont know about my condition and i feel they are lucky to have it all. ..a loving husband, children, education and career. I use to feel very loved and lucky to have my husband but due to some past incidences i cant fully trust him. I have no children but feel very strongly abt them. my husband and i are working on improving our relationship. Right now my parents are my rock but they themselves are very sick so i just have this constant fear.

11. What are your fears and do you dream of any situation repeatedly?
Yes i did dream constantly of not having my husband, of being alone and about the things that happened in the past. I also do dream of having children.
I fear where will i stand in a few years from now. I was unable to complete my education and dont have a stable career.

12. What do you crave for in food items and what are your aversions?
Any food that i crave for can become an aversion any time. I use to love cheesecake now i just cant stand it. I like fried food, pasta and coca cola. Though i have cut it all out. Cant eat goat meat, papaya.

13. How is your thirst: Less, Normal or Excessive?
I drink a lot of water. I never leave home without a water bottle.

14. How if your hunger: Less, Normal or Excessive?
It depends. There are days when i feel extremely hungry and then days where i hardly eat anything


15. Is there any kind of food which your body can’t stand?
Not sure about that

16. Is your sweat normal or less or more? Where does it sweat more: Head, Trunk or Limbs?
Slightly on the lesser side but it smells bad. Head and under arms mostly

17. How is your bowel movement and stool type?
Due to ibs i do get constipated

18. How well do you sleep? Do you have a particular posture of sleeping?
Sideways curled. When not in pain i sleep well. I usually need abt 9 hrs of sleep

19. Do you think you are able to satisfy your sexual desires in general?
No because sex is very painful for me and i get very dry

20. How do you think you are different from others, if at all?
I believe we are all different from each other in one way or another and thats what makes us who we are. I'm different in the sense that even though doctors are not too hopeful for a natural pregnancy i am not willing to give up and along my constant efforts i am asking God continuously to help me.

21. What medications have been taken earlier by you to treat the diseases and do you have any particular symptom surfacing after the medication?
Took pain killers mostly. Now my body cant take tylenol 3. I just vomit whenever i take it. I was on lupron for 6 months to induce a state of menopause. This was after my first unsuccessful ivf. 6 months after lupron i had my second ivf which again was unsuccessful again. Now i have asked doctors to give me some time to try to conceive on my own but so far nothing has happened. I have doc appointment in about 2 weeks where they will reassess my condition and determine how much longer i can try on my own. Ivf is very expensive and painful so i'm praying that i do get pregnant naturally and have a healthy baby. My egg reserve is quite good considering the severity of endometriosis. I cant test if i am ovulating or not due to irregular cycles.

2 months ago i started homeopathic treatment. Currently i am taking pleo alkala 1/2 scoop in mornings, pleo niger 1 capsule at night, pleo saunavis late afternoon and female tonic at 15 min intervals due to the pain. Once pain subsides then i will take female tonic 3 times a day. The first month of treatment i had one missed period and next very light period and almost pain free for the first time in my life. Now its worse than before.

22. What major diseases are running in your family?
Heart, diabetes, thyroid, cholesterol, asthma, fibromyalgia, arthritis, chronic pain


23. Describe, how do you look like? Describe your overall appearance
Very bloated and weight gain in my mid region, facial hair and have started to get some spots on my face

When are your periods expected?

Do you have any pain now?
 
Zady101 last decade
I have my periods right now. They started 4 days ago and extremely painful
 
SevereEndoPatient last decade
Take pulsatilla 6c five times a day every two hours for one day only.
 
Zady101 last decade
Do i continue taking all other medicines as well?
 
SevereEndoPatient last decade
Also in my situation what are the chances of conceiving naturally? What are the chances of having a successful pregnancy?
 
SevereEndoPatient last decade
Yes, please stop other homeopathic remedies. Allopathic meds you may continue taking.

Please dissolve 2 drops in 3 teaspoons water and take it. This is 1 dose.

Please Repeat this every 2 hours for 5 times a day on 1 day only, and then update me.
 
Zady101 last decade
Just a few things that came to mind about my nature is that i feel very irritated at times. When i get angry i get really angry. Usually want things done my way. Easily trust people & take everything at face value. Once i do trust someone i just completely open up myself to them. I do get hurt and manipulated very easily.

Those i do love i'm willing to go above and beyond for them.
 
SevereEndoPatient last decade
I have to wait till tmrw to get the medicine. I'm unable to go out right now.
Also just wondering if u r a practicing homeopath.
The other medicines that were given were by a homeopath/naturopath in my area. I started the female tonic 2 days ago and have been taking it every 15 min when the pain is at its peak
 
SevereEndoPatient last decade
Thank you so much for your time & help! Really appreciate it
 
SevereEndoPatient last decade
Ok. In that case, it is not feasible to change anything unless your periods are over.

And if you are satisfied with your homeopath, you must stick with him.

I am not a practicing homeopath at the moment. For me, homeopathy is a passion and a hobby.
 
Zady101 last decade
The problem with him is that its very difficult to get a hold of him. Plus he doesnt have anything for pain relief for me :( I will see how my doctor's appointment goes then i will get back to you. I'm very desperate so trying to find out watever can help me. My priority is to get pregnant quickly and have healthy babies.
 
SevereEndoPatient last decade
After 4-5 days of your periods getting over, take a single dose of Pulsatilla 200.

Best of Luck!
 
Zady101 last decade
Ok thank u so much! I will. In homeopathy have u seen success in my kind of case?
 
SevereEndoPatient last decade
Every case is unique.

Depends on patients expectation from the treatment and her objectives!

If your objective is to restore your health, then that is possible through homeopathy and your homeopath will be successful! However if your objective is to conceive at any cost, then your health could suffer because medical doctors will cross all limits to achieve that, and still achieve little or nothing.

This is my personal opinion!
 
Zady101 last decade
Wat about both with homeopathy?
 
SevereEndoPatient last decade
Yes possible!

But u must give homeopathy time before going in for invasive procedures!
 
Zady101 last decade
Roughly how much time?
 
SevereEndoPatient last decade
Ok give me in chronological order all the issues (with dates n description), you have suffered from since the beginning, and I will try to give you the time it will take to heal.

Periods started in 1993
Irregular periods
Bled for 1.5 months non stop in sept 199. Was given birth control for 3 months to regulate it.
Continuous pain during periods and abdominal pain on and off
2002 diagnosed with ovarian cyst. Have been getting functional cysts and endometriomas since then
On birth control pills for almost 5 yrs on and off from 2000-2007
2008 dec hospitalized due to severe abdominal pain
2009 jan-march in & out of emergency several times due to pain
2009. March diagnosed with ibs. Treated with dicetel for 6 weeks
Trying to conceive since Aug 2009
2009 september diagnosed with 6 cm cyst. Was given birth control pill for 4 months to dissolve it. It dissolved
2010 hospitalized again due to severe pain and heavy bleeding
2010 doctor suggested possible endometriosis and wanted to do laparoscopy. I didn't want it.
In 2011 hospitalized again due to excruciating pain. Doctors found an 8 cm endometrioma. In 2 weeks the cyst grew to 10 cm. doctor did immediate laparoscopy in october 2011 that confirmed severe endometriosis. Had extensive bleeding during surgery. Regained consciousness after 3.5 hrs. Was kept at the hospital for 3 days. After surgery had severe pain. Was taking morphine and suppositories for pain. Had severe nausea

Oct 2011-feb 2012 was on birth control pills.
Feb 2012 had HSG test done that showed fluid on the left side. No action was taken
Mar 2012 had 1st ivf which was unsuccessful
Mar 2012-june 2012 tried to conceive naturally. Taking prenatal vitamins from feb 2012 till now
June 2012-Dec 2012 monthly lupron shots to induce menopause
Sept 2012 had 2nd ivf consultation. Doctor decided to do ultrasound and laparoscopy to find out if fluid was inside the tube or outside before goin ahead with ivf
Dec 2012-2nd laparascopy and cysectomy. Left tube cut & clipped. 7 cm Endometrioma removed from right ovary again
Jan 2013 had 2nd ivf-embryo quality had improved frm last. 2 embryos of great quality transferred. None implanted. Once again doc was not able to freeze any remaining. Embryologist couldn't tell the reason for non implantation. Doc said that the uterine lining didn't thicken evenly as expected but was good enough for implantation. I was on 2 week bed rest and was taking progesterone after embryo transfer.
Egg extraction during first ivf was extremely painful. I was given relaxant & pain killer more than normal dosage & i still screamed in pain. During 2nd ivf egg retrieval i was given anesthesia
Feb 2013-till now trying to conceive naturally.
March 2013 missed period
March 2013 started homeopathic treatment
April 2013 very light period
May 2013 heavy bleeding & intolerable pain

I have been taking prescription pain killers in heavy doses for pain relief. I was taking them on a daily basis until a month ago.
This basically sums it up
Now what do you think? In your opinion how long will it take? Is there a permanent cure for endometriosis in homeopathy? Allopathy doesnt have a cure. Doctors are telling me to try another ivf and as soon as i have all the children i want i should get hysterectomy done. They are not giving me much time because the pain takes a toll on my body.

2 years under supervision of a qualified homeopath to restore levels of your health back to a reasonable degree.

Having children is in the hands of God. You could have them anytime in the process of treatment itself.
 
Zady101 last decade
Thank you for such a quick response :) u r right it truly is in God's hands :) well at the most doctors will give me another 6 months to try to conceive naturally after that the recommendation is ivf. Do u think it will be ok for me to continue homeopathic treatment during or after the ivf procedure?
 
SevereEndoPatient last decade
Kindly do pray for me :)
