Yet another day not being able to get out of bed!

Just needed a moan. In so much pain I literally feel like my pelvis is broken! I have stage 4 severe endo and got my next op in April. Been signed off work the last 4 weeks as pain so bad. On decapeptyl which brings with it it's own side effects. Next jab tomorrow which I'm not looking forward too.

Spent the last 3 days struggling to look after my 4 year old in half term who has had chicken pox!

Thank god my husband is now on holiday from work for a few days so he has taken over the child care.

It's so upsetting that I'm not well enough to even look after my son.

This disease is so dibilitating and I HATE IT!!!

Sorry ladies I'm just feeling so sorry for myself today. Looks like I'm going to be on the oromorph today.

Hiya spammie85 thanks for your message it helps to know you're not alone sometimes. Wow sounds like you have it tough too. I am 30 so we are around the same age, are you happy to have the hysterectomy? I am not ready for this option as desperate for another baby so they are going to remove what they can in April and then give me a window to try for a baby. Been told I may end up needing IVF though. I think if I am lucky enough to have another baby then a hysterectomy will be the next thing. I have a friend who suffered with endo, she had a hysterectomy at 31 and she said it's the best thing she ever did.

I know what you mean when you say your daughter runs rings round you, my son is the same. Bless him he is such an active child so I feel like a crap mum at the minute. So lucky to have my husband though. Do you have a supportive partner?

I'm with you on the Tramadol and oromorph today. It did knock me out for a few hours earlier so at least I've had some rest. Some days I can't take it though as i don't think it's really safe taking strong pain relief when I'm on my own with my son, so I just suffer.

Just counting down the days until April now for the next op! After being mis diagnosed for 5 years I feel there is finally a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel.

Best of luck with your hysterectomy, I hope you get a date soon. You are also welcome to message me anytime you like. It's nice to make friends who understand.xx
