[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 172049"] I don't buy the whole vicodin for endometriosis and have to have a child now story. Endometriosis can be treated. The only way to cure it, is hysterectomy, but that is never, to my knowledge, the first option. There is a procedure called a lapraoscopy (sp?) to remove the endometrial growth or lesions or whatever they're called. (I've had that.) There are also drug treatments, such as lupron which is medically induced menopause for up to 6 months, birth control taken so as to not have periods and progestin (which I take) taken so as to not have periods. I've already had the one procedure - which was a breeze - and the endometriosis came back. As I was done having children and another lapraoscopy would just mean more scar tissue, a hysterectomy was advised. At her young age, though, I can't see that it would be. I asked for a hysterectomy at the age of 29 because I was done having kids and I had already been treated for the endometriosis and my GYN at the time refused. My current GYN said it was irresponsible because at that time, I could have had it done vaginally which leads to a much quicker recovery. At this point, because my pelvis is fixed from it, I would have to have it done the old fashioned way. I declined and I take progestin which keeps it completely under control. So, all that to say that I don't buy her original story. I think she was more than likely drug seeking at the time. I don't know about the methadone other than it is a pain medication and it is used for opiate addicts. How sad for the kids. [/QUOTE]
