Yes this is a wonderful place for us and our loved ones who are trying to understand the horrible pain we go through. I don't know if your husband has tried this yet but if he hasn't have him ask his Dr. about trying a reducing dose of Prednisone. It is the first thing I have tried that has allowed me to continue with a almost normal life during my cycle that just ended this time and hopefully will work as well in 18 months from now when it comes back.It won't stop them entirely but it makes them less frequent and much less intense. I think I only had three or four really bad ones this cycle which lasts about 8 weeks also. Hang in there. Hopefully some day none of us will have to suffer through these horrible things again.
respectfully,Annie
