What should I do ?

I have a severe case of endometriosis my gyno said I was ate up with it and she put me on multiple different kinds of birth control and none of them worked for me . Now she has me on the depo shot . ( I was bleeding a lot and she was hoping it would stop it ) I'm having severe complications with the depo currently . Some of the side effects I'm experiencing are : migraines , terrible bleeding when I left heavy boxes at work , pelvic pain , I'm nauseous, if I eat more than one time a day I get sick and throw up , for some reason my vagina gets sore and hurts . I get my second dep shot February 1st and see my gyno the 16th . I'm loosing hope of this getting better and I don't have any idea about what I should do next . I can't even work I'm currently on a medical leave because when ever I go to work and do my job I start bleeding please help me figure out what to do next

You need to see an Endometriosis specialist. Gynos do not have the skill to treat this multi organ disease and most likely there was a lot left behind.

The difference is night and day.

An endo specialist excises the disease and gets the disease out by the root where a gyno almost all the time uses laser and it only gets the surface and do not touch other organs that the disease is on such as the bowel and bladder.

If you need to find someone in your area please let me know and I can help you find someone good.

If the disease is not taken out you will always be in pain and the depot and other HRT's will most likely not help and will give you more symptoms then it's worth.
