My last 2 cycles, my doc (who FINALLY diagnosed me correctly!) put me on prednisone and periactin. She told me there was nothing they could do to stop the pain once it started, but that our only hope was to abort them or block them. The meds worked wonders as far as not feeling pain. The problem was that I was totally and completely incapable of functioning... stoned outta my mind is what I was! I was on this over 3 weeks, though actual timeframe I have no clue about. Since then, and since finding this page (btw: thank you DJ) I've heard of so many alternatives. What I want to know is: is there anything as effective as the pred/periactin but WITHOUT the side effect of being totally s**tfaced? I can't work like that.. and I don't know if I can work thru a day waiting for the inevitable explosion.
