Marijuana for the pain of endometriosis
Has anyone tryed it
if so how was it for you.
As im thinking of trying it to help with pain
Answer:Others here have suggested Lupron as the be all, end all of Endo treatments and a seemingly far better option than what is being disussed in the question. In reality, that's simply trading one harmful drug for a potentially even more harmful one. Rather than do drug therapy of any kind, legal or not, try instead consulting with a true Endo specialist - someone who can actually treat the diease instead of offering repeat, superficial, ineffective vaporization surgeries and potentially harmful drug suppression. Neither options are curative in any way, and may actually do more harm than good in the long run to the patient. Try seeing someone like the folks in the links below for what is called excision surgery - these Endocenters have better than 75% success rates for long term relief in their patients...while there is no absolute cure for Endo, it's a far better option than what is being considered:

If none of them are near you, check http://groups.yahoo.com/group/endodocs... for some good suggestions of someone closer who may be equally as helpful.
You don't have to suffer like this. Good luck to you.
I would not turn to illegal drugs for comfort. I think you should speak to your doctor about Lupron injections. Also, have you spoken to her/him about surgery?
Illegal or not... It works. I didnt try it for that reason. But I have endo. And have had a partial Hysterectomy. It does help, but you can only smoke so much....Ya know what I mean!
well I'm a guy so i had to look up your specific dealio. no,i haven't tried the wacky tabacky, for nothing, as a matter of fact. but, i don't condone it. is it serious enuff to remedy you sparkin one up? what has your gyn said? if he or she cant help medically, well, i say, do what you must to feel normal.
Call your Dr's office right now and discuss depo lupron injections with them. After I had surgery I was on depo shots for 8mo. Yeah it is a pain to go the Dr every 4wks but it really helped. They do make you really hormonal but its better than the alternative. They are very expensive so make sure you get it pre-approved through your insurance. Yeah marijuana would probably help but I think the depo shots are a much better alternative. Good luck
geez what people won't use as an excuse to smoke pot
i smoked for many years but not for that reason, i had to quit cause it was having a bad inpact on my depression problem ...go figure. I don't see anything wrong with it though everyone works differently, i have many friends who smoke just for thier sanity.
i would do it for pain. It is better than taking drugs doctors give you, with all the side effects. It is natural. I don't know what state you live in, but here you can get it Legal from your doctor to grow up to two plants and have a certain amount of ounces to carry. I know a few people who do this.
One of the reasons I use marijuana is for the pain of my arthritis's. Pain management is different for everyone. It works for me.
