What Does Everyone Take For Their Pain? (Pain Medication Wise)
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hey everyone, I try a lot of non-medication related ways to help with my pain but doesn’t always work. I take Panadol and nurofen usually but it doesn’t always do the trick. What does everyone take for bad flare ups? Xx

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I did a ultrasound today and it's the same size, despite medicating for 3 months, I'm scared, I'm supposed to see the ob-gyn tomorrow, and I don't know guys.
Is this where I get surgery?
I was so optimistic it'd have shrunk in size but 💔😭☹️

Pain Management For Redheads...(or Those That Don't Respond Well To Pain Meds)
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi everyone
Really frustrated lately with the lack of options available for those of us that have bodies that don't respond to pain medication. In example, after my last surgery, morphine did absolutely nothing to alleviate my pain. Meds given for post surgery did NOTHING to help me. The only thing that has worked a tad is Dilaudid (hydromorphone). It was the strongest medicine available in the entire hospital I was at and I needed 3 doses just to dull my pain! I can't exactly get a… read more

Got Consultation With Endo Specialist. What To Ask?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hello, I am going to see an ob/gyn that specializes in abdominal pain and endometriosis. This is the first time I go to a consultation like this one and I'm wondering if anyone has any advice that could help me get the help. I've suffered extremely painful periods for about 10 years and about 1 full year of lower left abdominal pain that feels like ovulation but happens at all times of my cycle now. Thanks for the help everyone!

Pain Relief On Visanne
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi everyone, I have been prescribed VISANNE for shrinking my endo and intense abdominal pains that I go through every single day. I am 5 days in but the pains persist. Has anyone on here used this drug similarly and how soon did you experience relief in pain? I really dont know how much more of this I can take. I am currently on sick leave and I dread returning to work next week as I can't see myself being very productive with this level of pain. My stomach gurgles then the pains follow. Thanks… read more
