Just got in and it is endo, feel so relieved that I am not crazy and that it's not all in my head.

Didn't get any info as to how bad or where it was but have to see consultants next Tuesday to see pictures he took.

Gonna have a rest up, cuppa tea and some biccis then go to bed

Glad they found the endo (as sometimes they cant but that is not saying it isnt there) keep up the pain meds strictly even if you feel you dont need them ...

Sleep and rest and do what you body says ....

Not as bad as I thought I would but they said general anestic takes some time to leave your body, I do have some pain and getting up and down is hard. I can walk just any movement that moves waist hurts.

A bit of shoulder pain but tried some reflexology for it last night, (rubbing the out side of the little toe) and it really seemed to help.

I freaked outa little when I woke up, don't remember falling asleep and when I woke up I guess they had just taken the tube out of my throat as I couldn't talk and the nurse had to keep reminding me to breath, that was prob the scarest part.

Feel a little gassy also.

The best bit though is knowing that there is something the matter. I know that sounds crazy but after a year of going to the doctors and being told to wait a few more months to see if my periods regulate themselves, then going back for test after test and everything coming back negative. Being in pain for 3 weeks out of the month and not really being able to explain to people what is wrong because you don't know.

I hope yours goes brilliantly and that you get better soon.
