Depression And Endometriosis?
Although I lead a rather stressful life due to one thing and another, I’m usually really good at holding it together but since the birth of my son 4 years ago, I go into complete meltdown 48 hrs prior to ovulation.

What RX Medicines Are Anyone On For Endo Fatigue?
Are any of you on RX meds like Nuvigil, Wellbutrin, or B-12 shots for fatigue? (All labs normaland recently tested after surgery). This is my only Endo major symptom left along with "swelly belly" Endo bloat. I have a doctors appointment soon and was wondering if any of you have had any RX meds for reducing/fighting fatigue?
