The first line of treatment here in Australia is hormonal treatment (I’m assuming elsewhere too).
Every time I have been put on any hormonal treatment I become severely depressed, often requiring hospitalisation for this (awesome, just what you want on top of stage IV endo).
Often the pain increases in both severity and frequency after this as well.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Amazing story! I find it weird with the naloxone/naltrexone/narcan as my lastest and best pain specialist has put me on an opioid painkiller with this. I don’t quite understand how it works as it’s an opioid blocker and used to revive people after opioid overdose - but it has been more successful for me than any other painkillers.
What is the reasoning behind you being put on this?
How did hormones affect you?
Yeah I always had severe reactions to hormones every time I took them too (including the Mirena IUD which has much lower levels of hormones). I got sick of it and after my pain came back after my lap surgery I worked with a naturopath instead and reversed my stage 3 endometriosis and adenomyosis with diet, supplements and low dose naltrexone.
Not everyone can take hormones. I found out I have some genetic issues affecting my ability to process hormones.
