Wow, its been ages... again. Not much going on which is why I haven't posted in months. Life is pretty quiet (thankfully) on the Endo front... this Mirena thing is absolutely fabulous. I really can't say enough good things about it. I'm almost 18 months out from my last lap and I'm doing GREAT! I won't lie and say I am 100% pain free, but really I can't complain. Other than some cramping about 2-3 days out of the month and the random twinge here and there (usually on my right side, as always) I'm doing exceptionally well. I am very blessed that I am one of the lucky ones whom the Mirena seems to be working out for.
A few months ago I had to see my doc though about some bladder issues that I've been having. Me thinks interstitial cystitis... my doc seems to agree. I haven't gone to a urologist just yet as the symptoms haven't become bothersome enough to go through all that testing and discomfort. I was given a list of things to avoid (diet and drink-wise) and I have found that as long as I'm good this keeps the discomfort at bay pretty well. The Flomax didn't do much for me though. Oh well, we'll see how things go.
So... that's it, I guess. Ho hum, life is boring, yes, but for once I'm thankful for that!

Loving the post about the Mirena! I am so glad that it is working out well for you! :) So glad to hear from you!!!
I got a mirena about 6 months ago in the hopes of treating my endo but I have yet to see any impovement. My doctor tells me I have to be patient. How long did it take before you saw any improvement in your pain?
