Hey,

I am new to this but so glad I found it! I am 18 years old and was diagnosed with endo last year and have since had 2 laparoscopy's and had extensive endo removed both times from all around my womb, pouch of Douglas and bowel.

I was diagnosed in the UK and then moved to New Zealand with my partner to work and travel and this is where I had my second op and really want to keep it under control so I can enjoy the rest of my time here.

I currently have my pain under the best control I can do but I was wondering if anyone has recommendations of what they do for moods? My moods are all over the place and can change in the matter of seconds and I know it's down to the endo as I have never been like it before. It's getting me down and also my partner as I constantly find myself snapping.

I also suffer a lot with feeling tired and just really flat.

Really hope someone has also experienced this and found some sort of relief!

Thank you in advance!

Hollie x

Hi,

I suffer with endo pain and get moody a lot.

I've heard that 'Evening Primrose Oil' can help with PMT so maybe it can help with your moods with your endo too.

I'm willing to give it a try.

Sorry I can't be of much help.

I wish you all the best and good health X

Hi, hope your well I am in a similar boat with erratic moods. I have been on the 'endo diet' a week or more and it seems to be helping. Google it and try and give it a go. I am finding it hard, as I can't have my morning cup of tea anymore! Good luck! X
