Do you drink alcohol? Do you avoid alcohol? Does it make your symptoms worse?
I drink occasionally...a glass of wine with an unusually good meal, a martini or margarita if I go to dinner with friends/have gone to visit my grandma who is dying. But rarely. It's not that it… read more

Hi I hope someone can help I've been to my GP he did blood test and my estrogen levels are low I'm 47 it's causing a lot of problems down below he has prescribed 10mg of vagifem weekly to help I was a bit concerned because I said to him I taught that estrogen feeds endometriosis he said it was fine because it is a low dose and I'm not taking it by mouth so it's just helping the problem below has anyone tried this before as I'm getting really depressed cause I've tried all of the creams and… read more
Yes I was talking a low estrogen pill orally, it made everything so much worse than it would have been if I was just using my progesterone implant. The implant wasn’t controlling my bleeding so we… read more
I tried 3 IUDs and my body rejected all 3; then tried Norethrindrone and I hated it . My weight changed for the worse and it effected my mood. So I stopped . My doc told me about a newer pill called Slynd . Wondering if anyone else has had experience with this ?
You're most welcome. Incidentally, I'm not sure where you are in your endo journey. Birth control can help, but really they just mask symptoms. It's important that your doctor tell you that it doesn't… read more
I'm 17 years old right now and have been dealing with chronic pain(abdominal and migraines) since I was 12. It started with dually migraines and then went into daily nausea. I went to every odctot possible and they couldnt figure out what it was. I have been in the ER too often to count. It went over too extreme abdominal pain more in the upper area and then in the lower area also. I was checked for gallstones through ultrasound and blood tests. I also had a CAT scan done and two upper and one… read more
Love I am dealing with chronic pain I have both I trying to figure out what can help.
I was wondering if any of you other ladies have a chronically wet vagina? I feel gross and stupid for even asking. I know I have urine leakage because of my prolapse, but I'm referring to something different than my leaky bladder. All day, everyday I have a clear odorless discharge. Every time I go to use the bathroom my panties are slightly wet. This is constant. Anyone else notice a lot of clear watery discharge? I don't take hormones or use birth control, so I'm just curious if this is a… read more
you should probably talk to your gynecologist to make sure that everything is normal .
I am still in great pain after my laparoscopy not even 6 months ago. I have cut dairy and gluten as well as alcohol. The doctor says its either surgery again or upping my orillissa for the 6th month dose. Has anyone had the same experience? Are there options or is this just life?
I am 63 and had endo since l was 14. So keep that in mind. Orissa was not an option before my hysterectomy. I take it now l take midol too. Middle works really well and they have a pill that relieves… read more
How many women are in your myendometriosisteam community, actually? It says 120,000- is this active people in this community or women with endometriosis? Thanks for clarifying.
Any tips on how to keep your spirits up with endo? I was diagnosed September this year by excision surgery but my symptoms have not improved at all and only have became worse. I’m assuming I’ll need another surgery with the Da Vinci to see if any more endo can be found. I was referred to a specialist downstate but the earliest they could get me in was July 2024. My current doctors office can’t get me in for a consultation with the only doctor that uses the Da Vinci until the end of December. I’m… read more
