Your needs continue
to be our sole inspiration.
Sincerely,

Endometriosis is a condition
suffered by women of various backgrounds, race and age. The word endometriosis
is derived from "endometrium", or the lining inside of a woman's uterus.
Endometriosis occurs when the lining somehow makes its way outside of
the uterus. Generally, it is found in the ovaries, fallopian tubes,
and ligaments supporting the uterus, although it can occur in a number
of different locations. The lining is not shed during menstruation,
as is the lining inside of the uterus. This condition may inflame surrounding
tissues, causing symptoms ranging from abdominal pain to infertility.
Treatments for endometriosis
are as varied as the disease itself. Some Western treatments of endometriosis
involve hormonal therapy or even surgery. For many women, Traditional
Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers an alternative to invasive or otherwise
uncomfortable procedures. My own experiences suggest that acupuncture
and Chinese herbs are more effective and much less unpleasant and dangerous
than hormonal treatments or surgery to treat endometriosis. Some women
may require surgical approaches for treatment of endometriosis. However,
it makes sense to try to obtain relief with Traditional Chinese Medicine
treatment.

Alternative Viewpoint |

| Living
With Pain |
| by Cynthia
Perkins, M.Ed. |
Pain is an inevitable
part of life. In living with a chronic illness or chronic pain, pain
is no stranger to us and we are likely to endure more than the average
person may endure. Much of the pain that we experience can’t be eliminated
or treated, so we have no choice but to learn to live with it. In
my struggle to learn how to do this and to still find meaning and
purpose in life I have learned many things and developed a new relationship
with my pain.
As a mental
health professional and a person who lives with chemical sensitivity,
fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, I deal with a great deal
of pain daily. In my own exploration of pain, and in my professional
experience, I have found there are several intertwined levels of
pain: the physical level, the emotional/psychological and the spiritual
level. Severe physical pain is likely to cause emotional distress
as one struggles to cope with feelings of loss, grief and anger associated
with diminished abilities or changes in lifestyle or identity.
