5 Reasons why I am hesitant to try Fibrovan or Endovan – what are your thoughts?
by Melissa on August 10, 2011 in Product Reviews, Reducing Endometriosis Pain

How to regulate your hormones without any side-effects!
by Melissa on August 9, 2010 in Detoxing, Endometriosis Symptoms, Product Reviews, The Endometriosis Diet
There is some debate when I research the various recommended treatments for hormonal balance and attempts to fix our hormone levels.

Bladder infections and Endometriosis
by Melissa on August 5, 2010 in Featured Articles, Product Reviews
Bladder infections are oh so common when we have Endometriosis.

I just wanted to say, how enlightening your Site is, a dear friend of mine, has gone through hell and back, it has taken them three and a half years to finally diagnose that she has Endometriosis, and as a result it is quite advanced, she is now waiting for an operation. I have been reading up on the subject, because I want to be there for her, and to do that I need to understand the problems she is encountering, many thanks for laying it out so that it can be easily understood.
