Exercise Help Symptoms
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I was curious if anyone else has ever noticed exercise helps symptoms? I was doing CrossFit regularly and I noticed my cramping, spot bleeding, pms symptoms subside. I noticed when I am heavily stressed they come full force. But doing intense exercise did the reverse.

I read in an article that doing core work is a no no due to pulling in the stomach and risking spreading the adhesions to the other side of the stomach ? It sounds logical doesnt it?

Did You Know The Surgeon You Choose To Remove Your Endo Matters?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Endo needs to be removed deep and wide by the excision technique. Not every OBGYN knows how. When it's done correctly the Endo has a very small chance of returning. Call one of these Surgeons and take care of yourself. If it's not possible to see one of these surgeons, still call and they can recommend a quality surgeon near you , who can give you good care.

Getting Enough Sleep
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I used to sleep great, but when I start getting endo pain I have a hard time staying asleep. If the tiniest thing wakes me up, that's it, I'm awake. If I take something before bed it wears off before it can help. And I don't always have an opportunity for a nap later in my day. Has anyone found a way to get restful, restorative sleep? Only getting 6 hours of sleep a night almost every night is really wearing me down.

When I get a flareup, I get about four hours asleep, so I usually take an edible and I sleep all night

Sometimes I have super bad cramps -not usually enough to make me vomit, but every period I get what I call 'jello legs'. No one seems to know what I'm talking about.

And noone is listening to me! I was told on my discharge I would have a follow up and have heard nothing, where do I go from here? The last female dr said it sounds like endometriosis and said they would investigate but like I said… read more

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi guys, the consent form the NHS requires me to sign, how can I ensure they DO NOT remove any organs at all, (unless obviously they injure badly and it's dead)?
