Hi, I was just wondering if anyone here suffers with period pain like cramps, but with no period... I have been getting these pains in my back for a couple of days now and no period, a long with my constant abdominal pain, this is driving me mad!! Also, does anyone feel abnormally tired? I had a good night sleep last night, but I was really struggling to keep my eyes open at work!! And finally, what is it actually like having a laparoscopic procedure? I'm terrified!! :(

Hope everyone is okay.

Would be nice to meet people with the same condition.xx are you able to go?

Hiya I too know exactly how you feel, along with the pain I'm constantly tired! And am in bed early most nights.

As for the lap, I've had 2, nothing to worry about. It's a bit sore when you come round and you'll ache from the gas, you're insides will feel a little uncomfortable but nothing to worry about.

Hope you'll feel better soon

Hi

Yes I know what your going through its hell. The pain is like labour pains not that I know what thats like, but I am a midwife. I act like I'm in labour.

I'm exhausted all the time but that is the endo. I sleep early most nights, even after 10-12 hours I feel dead in the morning.

Laproscopy is fine please don't worry about it. Little uncomfy after but your be on pain killers.

Take care and remember your not alone ️xx

Yes! I have this all the time. I feel like I spend my day jst holding on until I can go to bed. Sometimes I could swear I'm having contractions. I can feel what I am assuming is my cervix opening and closing. Does anyone else get this? I asked my friends and they just looked horrified and told me it is not normal.

Yes I have had these pains most of my adult life :-( not fun is it....

I hope all goes well with your laparoscopy, you will be fine the worst bit is the trapped wind pain in your shoulders after from the gas that is pumped inside you to make viewing easier for the surgeon.

YES!! Glad I'm not the only one!! I have cramping in my lower stomach and back almost every day, aswel as fatigue being a huge problem!! I was diagnosed last year with mild Endo, and had it lasered off, but i hear so many people saying that theirs has come back! I would go to the doctors about your tiredness though, as i had blood tests to rule out anything else like Thyroid and Anaemia first!!

Hope your feeling better soon
