I can't take much more.

Hi ladies. I'm currently in the middle of the worst flare I have ever had! Endometriosis is well and truly kicking my ass. I have the coil to help stop the bleeding and this was all fine but since July, I have started bleeding again every month. The past 2 months have been absolute hell. I have never felt pain like this. My gynaecologist keeps saying its gastro issues that are adding to the pain but it's only got worse since I started bleeding. Why won't the doctors believe me when I say it's endo related. I know my body and I know this pain. I am 22 and have endured it for 9 years. I am currently on co-codamol 30/500mg which don't even touch the sides. They refuse to give me anything stronger to help me cope with the pain. I guess

My questions are.. How much pain do I have to endure before I go to A&E? What do you ladies do when you're in debilitating pain? What pain relief do you take? I'm at the point when I am in so much pain that I can't move, eat, sleep or do anything. I'm exhausted and it's setting my anxiety attacks off. I also suffer with depression and when the pain is this bad I feel so low because endometriosis has defeated me.

Sorry to rant, I just don't know what to do with myself.

Thankyou.

If I were you I'd go 2 A and E no point in suffering in so much pain!! Ask your GP 2 refer you to the pain clinic I was referred and been just last week still waiting on my prescription but it's all in front of me!! Sorry ur in so much pain it's not fair!!

Take care

Aw you poor thing, it's just horrid when I hear about you young girls in so much pain, are you being seen at a endo BSGE specialist centre,

I'm having a bad day too, I'm on morphine sulphat 12 hour release tabs, they help, but don't get rid of pain completely,

Have you had your endo excised and where was it found??

Hot bath, hot water bottle or microwave teddy, and a film in bed is the only thing that makes me feel a little better, I think the main thing for me, is the feeling of not being able to help myself, and then the guilt I have regarding my family, I've missed so much over the last few years,

You really do need to be under a specialist

Something you can try is a heatpad I find heat really helps also a tens machine it works by disrupting the pain signals to your brain I found that amazing when my pain was peaking.

You are not alone in this horrid battle my stomach looks 9 months gone.

Good luck Sharon. X
