I live in a third world country where there is a lot of meddling from everyone in everyones lives, sometimes they mean well, other times they just want to know peoples business just because. When I tell people about my endo I usually get a lot of "oh, so and so had the same thing and she drank this and got cured" "if you just pray everything will be ok" "you're just too focused on the negatives". How do you deal with these comments on a daily basis? I know I'm not supposed to let them get to me… read more

Thank you
As an ICU staff nurse, my dedication to delivering exceptional patient care is unwavering. However, being mindful of my endometriosis, I'm concerned about the impact of lifting heavy patients on my well-being. This apprehension stems from a genuine desire to balance optimal patient care with managing my health effectively.
I can't speak for everyone, but it does bother me. My uterus is retroverted, so the endo had also grown at my lower back causing back problems. I'm also a nurse, but I choose patients (I'm in private… read more

I think you will. As long as your doctor signs your FMLA form.
If Depo is used for treatment of endo, is it possible for someone to have it and it not be noticeable even when a doctor is removing an ovary and fallopian tube, even when a biopsy is done?
Suggestions for low maintenance jobs that don’t require a college degree, and don’t require us endo warriors to be on our feet all day? 😅
@A MyEndometriosisTeam Member Me neither, I'm shocking at maths! I work on the creative side of things, my marketing director oversee's the reporting - which is music to my ears hahaha :)
I have been on birth control for 9 years and I have been wanting to get off of it for a while now. How was your experience coming off the depo? And what are some good natural remedies that help with the pain?
My dr is the one that put me on the depo for Endo and she doesnt want to do surgery I tried going to a new dr and she made me feel terrible
