Hi everyone, I am 51 and have been diagnosed endo 4 for many years, having ovarian cysts on both side, they are about 4 and 5 cm. I tried IUD before but only made it worse, so that was taken out. Lately the pain has been increased so I am revisit the idea of surgery. My doctor suggested me to remove both of my cysts and overies, but I done some research, overies are important even I am perimanopause. But only removing the cysts would be very difficult as my condition with Endo, so it won't be a… read more

Is anyone else struggling with a 15 minute mile? I used to be able to at least do 12 minutes but the last few weeks I just can not get out of the 15 minute range. Is this a good time for someone with endo? Can I even get any faster or stronger then this? Thanks
I'd cry and puke if i even tried running so a 15 mile sounds amazing!! Running hurts my legs and back and my teeth, lol. Just keep movin! Youre doing great!!
I am having nerve pain after having laproscopic surgery in November and my doctor wants me to try this out. Has anyone tried it and has it worked? Are there any bad side effects?
Also: if you're having nerve pain, there's just something about BioFreeze that works great on my arms. This topical used to be available by prescription only, but now it's available OTC for around… read more

Has anyone experienced weight gain as a symptom of endo?
I’m off all hormonal birth control and I’ve gained 30lb the last two years. I want to say the main contributors are being less active & also a hormone imbalance? Ugh
I’ve been on Yaz BC for 4 months and now instead of having pain during ovulation and menses like before the pill, now I’m having pain almost every day and spotting all the time. The doctors keeps saying “wait and see if things even out” but I don’t know how long I should keep trying this pill . This doesn’t feel better
Birth control is not always the answer, I feel like it's a broad treatment recommended for anything related to the uterus. I went on it for 2 years as recommended and it was terrible, after I got off… read more

Sounds good
This is my first time here and first post so bear with me. Since this past January, my endometriosis has reached new levels including chronic lower back pain, nausea and now panic attacks and anxiety. I never dealt with panic attacks or anxiety before, wondering if it’s endo related? I really feel the panic attacks (most at night) around ovulation and right before my period starts. My doctor put me on fluoxetine 20mg and it’s helped a bit but not enough to stop the attacks. Maybe I need a higher… read more

you must see yr doctor, mostly he will give you medicine to stop the bleeding
I'm in my 20's and have not been officially diagnosed because I have yet to have the surgery to confirm, but have family history and horrible periods. Due to this information my doctor has put it at a 90% chance I have endo. Im wondering if I should start to possibly consider surgery
When I'm on my period my body responds as though I have a horrible stomach bug. One second I'm fine, but as soon as I start to bleed I began having strong cramping throughout my pelvic floor. If I'm not quick… read more
I would definitely consider the surgery dont wait until the endo takes over your reproductive organs and cause infertility. You should move forward in my opinion.
