Do some people forget they have endo

4 Replies

Do some of you forget you have endo. I get symptoms 2-3 weeks each month and then normally a week or longer with no or not much symptoms.

I have another doctors appt booked and when my symptoms disappear I feel like cancelling my appt but then no they'll reappear soon

I did years ago, at one time I had about 2-3 months with hardly any symptoms I actually posted on here asking whether Endo can have dormant phases. Believe me it didn't last long! Keep that appointment x

Yes, keep your appointment. You made it for a reason. I sometimes i have days that it is ok and i feel ok and then i wake up next day with lots of pain and problems.

Looking back in the early years I had moments like that but now it's part of my every day life. 100% keep that appointment and don't forget why you made it. Don't underplay the pain and suffering you do go though. It will just prolong the inevitable and that's not what you want. I would change a lot if I could go back but hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Thanks for comments. I will keep my appointment. I started getting symptoms about 3 years ago and it has got more persistent over this time the last 10 days I've had not many if any symptoms :) but I will go and talk to the doctor
