I used to sleep great, but when I start getting endo pain I have a hard time staying asleep. If the tiniest thing wakes me up, that's it, I'm awake. If I take something before bed it wears off before it can help. And I don't always have an opportunity for a nap later in my day. Has anyone found a way to get restful, restorative sleep? Only getting 6 hours of sleep a night almost every night is really wearing me down.

I was curious if anyone else has ever noticed exercise helps symptoms? I was doing CrossFit regularly and I noticed my cramping, spot bleeding, pms symptoms subside. I noticed when I am heavily stressed they come full force. But doing intense exercise did the reverse.

Endo needs to be removed deep and wide by the excision technique. Not every OBGYN knows how. When it's done correctly the Endo has a very small chance of returning. Call one of these Surgeons and take care of yourself. If it's not possible to see one of these surgeons, still call and they can recommend a quality surgeon near you , who can give you good care.

Has anyone been in so much pain your legs hurt,you get super nauseous and your lower body feels weak and funny (can't explain it better)???

Hi Endo Warriors! This is a photo of me around age 15 when I first started experiencing Endo symptoms. I remember temporarily losing my vision twice due to the pain being so bad. I remember feeling so afraid because I was suffering so much with vomiting on my period too and no one thought anything was wrong with me. When you are told there is nothing wrong with you, you stop asking for help because you feel afraid that maybe you are the one who is mistaken.

Anyways, fast forward 10+ years, and… read more

Hi everyone,

I had 2 surgeries to treat endometriosis which both didn't help with the pain at all. In fact, they gave me more symptoms such as longer heavier period and severe constipation. (As I have stage 4 endo that attached to the bowel and I guess it may affect my nerve to pass the bowel)

After reading stories of other sufferers, I found my case is a little bit different that I do not have everyday pain like others but my pain will be before, during and after having period only but a… read more
