Hi
I had my first surgery four years ago, got relief for 2 years now I am back to having debilitating pain. Saw my specialist and he has diagnosed me with adneomyosis, and possible reoccurring endometriosis, I thought it rarely comes back?

Endo Diet
I have been diagnosed with endo and had the scope with laser to remove the cells a year ago. I’ve been using bc as a hormone therapy for a long time. I’ve been doing research into holistic remedies along with medication. Has anyone looked into changing diet/a special diet? Any advice or things that worked?
Check out Dr Sandra Cabot’s on line book on Endometriosis. Change in diet can make a massive difference. A Gluten free & Dairy free helps a lot with pain :))

Do Heating Pads Leave You Feeling Nauseous?
After using a heating pad any where on my midsection, i feel extremely nauseous and just plain gross.
Anyone else experience this or anything else after using a heatpad?
