I feel so isolated, currently in the middle of my cycle, I'm in so much pain. My bowels are all over the place. Absolutely shattered. I'm sure my family think I'm making it up.. Got my pre op on Wednesday..scared but it cant come quick enough.. Need support.. How do I cope with the pain while I'm waiting?

Sorry you in so much pain Hun, hot baths, hot water bottles and tiger balm with pain killers are what I use though I get a little relief not much, the combination I'm on as of Friday is dyhracodenie, paracetomal and diazepam and loestrin is my pill, I was admitted again on Friday with the pains and am now currently on waiting list for lap, the pain and bleeding and tiredness is really getting me down today. It's taking me all day to clean as had to keep stopping as for hoovering just as well I only have one rug and one carpet as was torcher pushing it back and for. Visit your doctor again Hun for so tips though didn't like to read and run as know exactly how your feeling. Here if you need a chat xxxd

Hi Deb, thanks for your support, my period this month has totally wiped me off my feet. Slept loads, might ask my gp for stronger pain killers.

Hi there, I am totally in the same boat as you so can relate, I have my lap 26th November. I manage my pain Hot water Bottle and HOT baths to the point my skin is red raw. I also have mefanamic acid but it only takes the slight edge off, It's tough. How long do you have to wait? X :)
