I Am In Pain, I Am In A Panic

I got started bright and early making some of my favorite Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Shell. I am going to freeze them and bring them to Mom and Dads for Easter weekend. This is a super easy recipe that even I can handle. Except I think I put to much cayenne pepper in it. Last time I made it I used Frank's red sauce that has cayenne in it already. So I did not have to add what the recipe called for.

This time as I was just getting started when I got horrible cramps. I took an anti-inflammatory right away but it did not do much. I ended up putting the called for cayenne pepper in the recipe with out even thinking about it until it was to late. The shells were already in the freezer and I was all hot a sweaty from the pain when I realized what I did.

I am so worried nobody will like them. Mom does not like spicy food and I am sure Olivia does not eat spicy foods. Elia may or may not be craving spicy foods at five months pregnant. I am sure the guys will like it. Uggg

Last month I had no cramps at all and this month I have cramps for a day and half and I can't get enough anti-inflammatories in me to get relief. My husband tells me I moan thoughout the night when I am in pain. I called in sick the next day, I felt awful.

I panic! This can't be happening again already. It hurts to lay on my left side. My left ovary feels tender. I wonder if I should call my Dr. and ask about Lupron. I google Lupron and decide I have no interest in putting toxic drugs that will force me into menopause in my body. Some women have multiple surgeries. Like one a year for endo. The surgery I had worked like a miracle. Yet, I do not want to do it again so soon. I am thinking like in another eight years, maybe.

I google endometriosis cures and find many people have found relief with Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. I have another 10-15 years of cycles ahead of me. I have nothing to loose. I am going to give it a try. I found a clinic that specializes in women's fertility issues and made an appointment.

I don't know anyone who was able to achieve pregnancy with these methods. That is not why I am doing it. I have to find a way to manage this pain. So I can live my beautiful life without fear and not miss work every month.
