What should I do now?

Hi

Well, I finally got to see a privet specialist and she agreed that I might have endometriosis. She told me to go on the endometriosis diet! ...and sent me off. Surgery is apparently a last-resort and can actually do more harm then good.

I've been feeling so much better lately, been dieting and have more energy, I could go for longer walks, but no sign of my appetite coming back

I haven't been hungry in the last 11 months!!!! I force feed myself otherwise I get dizzy and I get a headache.

But this morning I woke up feeling worse, weak and shivery. I've eaten a good breakfast and still feel really weak, like I haven't eaten anything, yet I'm so full up in my chest. I wish that I knew whats wrong.

I've had it a lot lately, feeling weaker in the mornings, but always felt better later on. Now I feel like I have a temperature, but I don't.

I don't really know what to do anymore.

I'm no expert but have had 3 laps and am very surprised that's the advice you were given as they can't properly diagnose without the lap and seeing what's going on? So how she can recommend a diet based on thinking its Endo I don't understand. I strongly suggest you get a second opinion.

They can tell based on your symptoms whether they think it's Endo and if you are really suffering a lap is the only way to tell how bad it is and treat the effected area.

Hope that helps somewhat, don't suffer in silence and you are not alone.

Yeah it confused me too, she wrote in the report that I might have "mild" endometriosis! Which is ridiculous because you can't know that without the Lap... They are sure that I have IBS and might also have a bit of endometriosis, which I suppose is possible because each could be aggravating the other.
