CatherineM Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Yes. Doctors go for the easy if you don't make them try the other ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffboom Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Avoid eating and drinking out of plastic/ styrofoam containers. Avoid grapefruits. You can try taking a zinc supplement (<25mg) every day. This is a natural aromatase inhibitor and may reduce the amount of estrogen available to aggravate your endometriosis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archaeology cat Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Definitely. My sister had severe endo and gets angry about how it was (Mis)treated. Her current doctor, Dr Nezhat, uses bio identical hormones now (I should note that she ended up with a hysterectomy before she met this doc). Anyway, she highly recommends him to all. Her doc is in Atlanta, but there are two other Nezhats, in CA and NY I think, all specializing in endo and infertility, I believe. M sister's in TN but drives to ATL to see him. Another option is to go through a NaPro doc. D you chart? You'd need to chart with Creighton, and I think you can send your charts to the Pope Paul VI Institute. Can't hurt to contact them.
