TMC to reduce side effects

Treating endometriosis with western medication usually involve a two-step approach, surgery to remove as much of the diseased tissues as possible followed by anti-hormonal injections to stop menstration, a stimulation of menopause, a resting state for the system.

With the injections, the side effects are many, some of them getting under skin at times, especially when I'm dead tired and lie on the bed wondering when will I fall asleep! Or when I can feel a sudden rush of emotions, gushing through my body, telling me to scream! Or when someone asks me "how am I doing?" I break down in tears and cry!

Finally, with some encouragement, I went to seek alternate medication, not just for the hope of getting pregnant, but more so for building up my body, to be strong again.

The practioner at Eu Yen Sang's specialist branch on gyneacology was very sympathetic of my condition, she could not stop scribbling my long medical history, filling up almost the whole entire blank page. At the same time, she shared that there were many women in their menopausal state that experienced the same side effects as I did! ha ha ha

So she prescribed me some chinese medication that I've to take 3times a day, pour the powder in some warm water, mix well and drink. Its tough to keep up with this routine as oppose to the simipler pill popping methods, but it does seems to have its merits!

I can sleep better, control my mood/temper a little better. but the backaches are still terrible. oh well, we'll take it one step at a time.
