I have terrible endo - every month, I pass out, throw up,go into shock, etc, due to the pain. It gets so bad that when I had my son, it was a total cake walk by comparison......My OB/GYN found lots of scar tissue on my left ovary, but ruled out surgery to remove it due to the huge amt. - said it would prolly grow back worse and that a hysterectomy was really my only choice for being pain free - no way am I going under the knife again. I can live with it!
