Gee you have a lovely jackpot of all three, it ain't much fun being female at times

Thanks for the advice on the painkillers, it appears my days of acupuncture assisting with the pain are over,
the adenomyiosis is just to severe for the acupuncture to help. We must have been in pain around the same
days!! I had two days of being a zombie, where I can hardly keep my eyes open, go all pale and feel like every
ounce of energy has been drained from me (and that is before taking any pain killers) followed by two days
of absolute pain. The pain seems to subside upon the period stopping, such joy. Since going off the pill the
pain appears to be getting progressively worse, however with soon to be undergoing IVF going back on the
pill is not an option.

At the moment panadeine seems to work for me, as I am still attempting to work through all this. Luckily
my work doesn't mind me working from home, where I can put my feet up, stock up on the panadeine and
keep heating up that wheat bag

With suffering with pain for more than half my life with endo and now the adeno, I am just trying to push through each month in the hope that IVF will be successful!!! I have marked out in my diary the days of each month where I can't
function to ensure that I don't organise anything and can just relax on the days of pain.

Otherwise I am getting quite close to the end of my tether and very much
looking forward to a hysterectomy and a painfree existence

I have a theory though. I figure that females that start running marathons in their fourties are doing so on the
basis that they have a new life after having a hysterectomy and due to a pain free existence, start running
marathons!!!!

All the best to you all
