The UNSPOKEN truth behind ENDO.. Opiates.

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… read more

bowel endometriosis

Reading about everyone's experiences I see that many people have been diagnosed with bowel endometriosos. I was just wondering how this was diagnosed? I have been having GI symptoms ever since I was diagnosed with endometriosis and my doctor recommended seeing a surgeon for a colonoscopy.I'm a bit apprehensive because she mentioned things like ulcerative colitis. Any feedback about any of your experiences would be appreciated:)

Visanne - symptoms after stopping Visanne?

Hi all,

I've been taking Visanne for a year now and doctor has said I can stop it. How long did it take for your period to return after stopping it? And have you experienced any other symptoms? I've been off it for 2 weeks now. No period yet, but I've had breast sensitivity, increased appetite and increased libido. I would love to hear your experiences!

Surgery and IUD

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 can I expect from having ovaries removed and surgical menopause?

My doctor is wanting to take out my right ovary. (The only ovary I have left.) I had emergency surgery to remove my left one due to an 11 cm cyst 3 years ago. I continue to have large and very painful cysts on my right.

Should I say no to this? I'm 33. I know it's an automatic throwing myself into menopause if I agree, but I'm concerned if I don't have it taken out, it could eventually turn into something more. And not to mention I'm in pain… read more

Does anyone use marijuana/CBD oil/edibles for pain relief and if so, how significant a help is it?

I have a vaporizer that I use on extremely bad days and a family member who is a chef has begun working with edibles. So far I've found vaporized CBD oil most effective without the red eyes and "stoned" feeling, but am new to it's medicinal uses and would love to hear others experiences with various medicinal marijuana products. Thank you in advance as I know this particular topic can be "taboo"

Orgasm after hysterectomy

Hi, not really a question more just information I would like to share for those thinking about having a hysterectomy- information I wish someone told me. I needed a hysterectomy as I have severe adenomyosis and my uterus was bonded to my bowel and causing all sorts of problems. My dr assured me sex and orgasms would be the same but it isn't. Sex no longer hurts which is great as it had been a few years since my husband and I had sex but I can no longer orgasm. Well I can but it is maybe… read more
