Looking for some guidance about dos and donts that can help to make pain less. What should I avoid? What should I eat more of?

Hi ladies. I hope that you're all coping well with your endo & that you're feeling peaceful (although probably unlikely). I'm wondering, I have a Youtube channel & am wanting to put up a video about what endo is & to share my journey with endo (to promote awareness of this condition, as well as to get us talking & sharing). What I'd like to know is if any of you would happen to have any advice or interesting tips that I could include in the video for those who may be watching? This could… read more

I am 38 and have the worst of the worst symptoms, pain, heavy bleeding, depression ect. I just started the mini pill to help ease theses symptoms. I am missing work and life. Several yrs ago I tried it and bled and cramped for 2 months. I am desperate and trying it again. I have migraine with aura so I can't tolerate reg BC at all.

Hi all,

Don't know if I just need to vent but some advice would be appreciated too. I had my third Laparscopy towards the end of May this year. The removed endo from the Pouch of Douglas and Pelvic Wall. After previous surgeries I have generally felt a good bit of relief in the coming months. I also have PCOS. I'm not feeling as much relief as I thought I would by now. This month has been horrific. I had two full weeks where I felt "periody" and had PMS bloating, moods, cramps etc. I finally… read more

My daughter has endo and has had 3 laps and is not getting any better. We located Dr. Robbins and she is scheduled for surgery with him next week. I am thrilled beyond words.. however, her father would like for me to ask if anyone has had any experience with him.. I thank you in advance for any information!

I had my first diagnostic laparoscopy surgery just over two weeks ago, 13th Oct. physically I feel well enough to try to get back to a normal routine and work. However after suffering my symptoms of endo for nearly 10years, with no doctors listening to me. Mentally I'm struggling. I'm relieved to find out I do have endometriosis, and I wasn't "crazy". But now it's hit me emotionally. I had my first day back in on Monday. I found it very tough. I'm a veterinary nurse, so I can't really take it… read more

Awaiting cycle day one after Laparoscopy two weeks prior.

Does anyone else have sudden fatigue seemingly outta nowhere and it hits hard not really with or without pain just hard core exhaustion it seems :(

I have night sweats constantly and I assume it's from the birth control or the lack of hormones because of the birth control, does anyone know more about this? Does anyone know if changing to a different birth control may help? Or is it caused by the endo itself? I can't see why it would be but saw many others have this problem too. I hate waking up constantly sweaty then cold then sweaty. Sigh.

Anyone else find themselves going to the bathroom much more at night? During the time I am supposed to get my period, but don't because of the pills in on, I find myself feeling like I have to go to the bathroom every few minutes and it's only at night.
