Hi

I'm currently on my 3rd injection, the injection puts your body into temporary menopause so the side effects are hot flashes night sweats, can effect ur mood - make you low etc

I've had all the side effects and it's not helped with your pain

Have they explained it all to you - they didn't me I got more info from here

Hope it helps

Hi I had my first lap done in December through the lap they couldn't remove any tissue as it was all over my left ligament, and to remove it they would have to remove that whole ligament. which they said was a huge operation and not a root they wanted to consider yet. after the lap I rested really well for a full week! I was very uncomfortable very gasy aches and pains up around my ribcage chest etc my wounds were sore too but not extreme pain or anything. My stitches didn't come out until end of January I didn't feel myself or well again really until they came out. I have been keeping very well but i didnt really feel back to myself until march time to be honest.Although everyones body and emotions are different and i have been feeling so worried and stressed about starting my treatment .I still suffer with severe pain when I have my monthly but i started my first prostap 3 injection yesterday. Today I am extremely tired I slept 8 hrs last night and I just woke up from 4 hrs sleep and am feeling like I have flu like symptoms so it seems the injection is starting to kick in now .... I hope this helps are you due to get a lap done?

I have severe pain every month iam in bed 2 days before my period sick drained and exhausted I would have pain the week before also and would have cramps in the middle of the month.. when I have my monthly I have vomiting and fever dizziness and faint spells .. I have suffered with my periods since the age of 11 with my gp shunning my pain and telling me its genes and bad periods only even when I asked to be reffered to a specialist he responded by saying well if you insist but I personally think its only your period .... which annoys me because it has really taken over my life personal work and social and I just want it sorted once and for all ...thank you for your posts xxx
