Sandy,
Hi, I'm in Seattle and not sure I can be of much help.
Have Abdomino-pelvic adhesions / endometriosis and the
best option I've had so far is medicinal treatment.
Although I hate the side effects, Gabapentin (Gen.Neurontin)
and Vicoden combo keep me at least a little functional.
I'm not working or up cleaning house, but I'm able to be out
of bed most days.
I went to get a 2nd gyn. opinion at UW womens' health and
was informed theres no going back in, at this point, until
I have a blockage...period. So ... they suggested trying
different meds, starting with Neurontin.
Sorry, I know I probably haven't been much help.
Alot of the women on an Endo support group swear by
Dr. Cook in Los Gatos,Ca. He is supposed to be one of the best
in Endometriosis and Adhesion removal, unfortunately he is
not in any network, you have to pay cash and if you're lucky
enough to have insurance, hope they refund you at least part
of your money.
