Perimenopause Here I Come

Yes the title speak it all. But first I need to give a little insight on all of this. After giving birth was to my second child I was told to have a tubal because of my seizure disorder. I was told that it was too risky for me to have any more kids and that OB doctor in their right mind would even take me on as a patient if I decided to have kids. So the day I went in for this procedure I told the doctor that I was having some pain and she reassured me that while she was doing the procedure that she would look around. Later on she told my mother and husband that she found nothing. 2 years later the pain returned. I went back to my OB/GYN d.r. and after several tests and nothing was found she decided to do a lap where she found Endometriosis. She said she could not believe that after finding nothing 2 years prior I was covered. She had only given me one option at that point and that was to have a partial Hysterectomy. So that following August that is what I had done. I was told that since I would still have my ovaries that I would not have any symptoms. Wrong! I got hot flashes and other things I wish not to discuss on here. The only good thing that came out of this is My Neurologist thinks that my seizures are hormonal and have been under control for the most part since I have had this done. So a year goes by and nothing. Last July I go to Conv. Care for a UTI and am treated and then start having pain. I have to follow up w/ my primary after that. She decides to run every test in the book and nothing. I am in so much pain by the end of the week I am sent to the ER. They run every test on me and still nothing. Finally I am sent to my OB/GYN who feels like there is not much that she can do. I just leave that clinic all together. I end up establishing with a new primary dr. at a different clinic and she refers me to a new Gyn and I finally saw her in Oct. After talking to her she felt as if my Intermediaries had returned. Me being stupid had not done a lot of research before my Hysterectomy and did not know that if I still had my Ovaries that it could still return. So the decision was made to put me on birth control and go from there. So that was in Oct. By the end of Oct. I was fine and it was working. By the beginning of this month I was miserable. I was having the pain again and it was just as intense. I went back today to see the doctor again. She decided to give me an injection of Lupron. Which will put me into Peri menopause. It will make my Ovaries stop working. It has some nasty side effects but it will stop the Endomieotriosis from forming. This will last for a month. If I feel it is working and I am okay with it I will go back in a minth for another injection and these will last for 3 months. She will also give me just enough estrogen to help with the nasty side effects. This is the last resort. If this does not work I will have to have my ovaries removed and I will go into full menopause. I feel at this point I am way too young and there are way too many risks that go along. Not to mention I am not looking forward to what is going to go along with this shot let along having my ovaries removed. So I am praying this works. I guess the first few days are really hard. The dr. explained that while my ovaries are shutting down there is a lot of pain involved. Ughh not looking forward to that
