I don't know what to do

Someone please help. I'm 25, I have not been diagnosed with endo yet but my doctor said that from my description and symptoms she is almost certain I have it. I'm in absolute agony right now. Have taken pain meds, had a bath, and got a hot water bottle. I'm crippled in pain and not to sure what to do. Anyone have any suggestions. Thanks you x

Ear enough all the time. Have been bleeding for near on 3 weeks, and now so bloated I look 6 months pregnant. I am in agony to the point I nearly pass out, sweat up and vomit xx

What painkillers are you on? Perhaps they could be changed/tweaked to give you more pain relief.

You may find a TENS unit helps - you can buy one online or from some chemists - as an additional tool.

Re: the constant bleeding, have you looked at tranexamic acid - ask your doctor - as this can help to ease it (heavy) or stop it.

There's also another drug - Norethisterone - which is sometimes used to stop a period.
