Just curious what others are experiencing as far as symptoms go? I know the classic signs and symptoms of endo...pain being the main one. But
I never hear anyone talk about those, that to me, seem to be unrelated to endo. For example, headaches, allergies, fatigue, other auto immune conditions? Etc. etc. etc. You know the things that Google *doesn't* list as symptoms? ππ
All answers and replies will be greatly appreciated.
I have severe sinus issues. I swear i have endo in my sinuses. I get a sinus infection every time.i get a period. I suffer from allergies as well as severe dry eyes. Fatigue, body aches. Pain. Bloating. I used to get rib pain, but that got better after my gallbladder was removed. I get neck/spine/back pain. Migraines. Ovarian cysts. Ive had 4 laps and now i get uncomfortable when i sit, and i think that is due to my endo likes to grow on my pouch of douglas and rectum. I have bladder issues due to endo growing on that as well. Endo has basically affected my whole body.
No, ive never been tested for it. I deal with horrific sinus problems that have gotten worse over the years. Its beyond annoying. I even had polyps removed from my sinuses years ago and my tonsils out cuz i developed tonsil stones. Which were disgusting. And my doc said when he removed my tonsils they were basically rotting. This disease of endo has effected my entire body and it sucks.
I get the allergies, headaches, fatigue, pain under the rib cage and for some reason when i'm on a period if i blow my nose theres a little blood. Although Drs and medical pages don't list the symptoms i've seen a lot of women with endo abd PCOS complaining of these things and other random symptoms. I always think maybe i'm just over thinking it ane blaming every little thing on the endo but after doing some reading through other womens posts I generally find i'm not just being crazy π
Thank you @A MyEndometriosisTeam Member It's so crazy you mention Sjogrens. I have every symptom of Sjogrens as well as endometriosis. They just did an ANA/ test which came back okay. But I haven't actually been tested for Sjogrens yet. There's a lot of auto immune "junk" in my family too. My mom has RA and is in remission from sarcoidosis, My aunt has multiple sclerosis, and my sister has FM.
I have both endometriosis and polycystic ovarian syndrome. So my symptoms vary. I get cysts on my ovaries that rupture. I deal with painful intercourse. Irregular periods. Heavy bleeding with clots. Fatigue. Pain under my ribcage and in my shoulder. I have a family history of sjogrens syndrome which causes dry mouth and joint pain.
