After what felt like a very long and annoying time, I was finally able to get my Depo (medroxyprogesterone) shot today. It was a bit of a twilight-zone day for me filled with mistakes by the drugstore (like not putting the prescription I had just paid for in the bag), me having to drive to and from the doctor's office and drugstore twice, and some odd people along the way, but at least it's done. It should have been a frustrating day, I have had more than my fair share of screw-ups by insurance, pharmacies, Medicaid and even PennDOT, but if you know me, it's not really in my nature to do a lot more than just laugh at the stupidity of it all. I mean, what else is there to do? It's a habit that got reinforced in college when my roommate, H, and I used to just laugh at the idiocy that would occasionally surround us. I have had so many bizarre screw-ups after I've done everything correctly at my end that I think I HAVE to last or I would just go crazy. At least for the first time in 15 years, my driver's license has my last name on it correctly. Maybe in another decade other things will get straightened out?

Depo's Done!

Nutrition
I have read different articles about nutrition and endometriosis but never really thought a lot about them. Recently, as I've been frustrated and wanting to do anything I can that won't cause me more harm, I've decided to adjust my own diet according to the information that I've found to be common to many of the different articles/books I've read. Obviously, each article is a little bit different, but I've picked up on certain things and read a book recently which highlighted others, so I am slightly changing my diet and I am going to see if that does have a positive effect on my endometriosis symptoms. Like most things, I have read women who claim it was the miracle that ended their symptoms and other women who have said they didn't notice a change. Well, since it's not going to hurt me (I check with my doctor first, always), I'm going to try it out.
