The UNSPOKEN Truth Behind ENDO.. Opiates.
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

So many of us deal with pain that would debilitate our lives, if we weren't able to sustain ourselves with some sort of medication to tackle the flair up. But what works the best?

Most of my doctors have put me on Tramadol first and Oxycodone when I explain how Tramadol doesn't do much for my pain. As well as nerve blockers and NSAIDS (Which I limit always to, when needed). HOWEVER, society has a different view on pain medication and I'm wondering if this has made anyone feel uncomfortable… read more

Does Anyone Have Endo Symtoms All Month?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

My doctor says its impossible to have endometriosis symptoms everyday. He says the pain should only be on my period. Guaranteed its worse on my period but I'm in pain and exhausted everyday :( does anyone else suffer everyday of the month and if so how are you managing things? I'm really struggling to get up on a morning and carry out my daily routine, I feel like if I don't at least sort out my fatigue some how I will lose my career any advice would be great. Thanks in advance XX

Surgery And IUD
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am having surgery to remove the scar tissue and while I am asleep, they want to put an IUD in as well. I am super nervous about the IUD and want to know if there are side effects, and if the IUD is a good route to go.

What Endometriosis Symptoms Do You Have That You Didn’t Expect?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member

For years it’s been the typical nausea, cramping and headaches and heavy bleeding. And now I didn’t expect to get diarrhea and more clots and even more heavy bleeding.

Anyone Taking Visanne Have Prolonged Periods?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I started taking visanne 7-8 weeks ago and had a noticeable reduction in pain however my first cycle while on the medication hasnt stopped and I'm going on 4 weeks. My gyno is suggesting I tough it out since it's working to reduce pain but I'm inclined to stop if the bleeding continues. Everything I've read so far about visanne indicates your period should become lighter and maybe even disappear so I'm wondering if anyone else had this side effect and was there a way to stop the bleeding?

Mine was 3 month then I had to stop it
