Feel so ill :(

Today i feel dreadful, woke up with the worst headache ever that I haven't been able to get rid of. Also I have been backwards and forwards to the bathroom all day with diarhea. I'm starting to wonder if I have a stomach bug or does anyone else experience this with the endometriosis? I don't know if I'm just having an endo flare up or if it's a bug? Does anyone have any ideas? I'd appreciate any feedback, thanks in advance

Hi, thanks for your reply! I really appreciate that! The past few days I have really been thinking about the surgery option again and i think I will have to go ahead and get it done soon. I can't bare how ill I feel and how often. I have a bit of a dilemma as I am in a professional touring band and we have tours booked in the US for the summer which I can't afford to drop out of but on the other hand if I don't have my health then I worry I won't be well enough to do the shows. I guess I worry that if I go ahead with surgery and it makes me worse in some way that I won't be able to carry on with my Career in music which is everything to me. i will check out your post on how to find a specialist! Thanks for your advise!

I'm in Dorset near Bournemouh. I recently saw an endo specialist in Poole hospital. He was nice and seemed to know his stuff but it's hard to know for sure I guess. Currently I am on no hormone treatment as I have a bad reaction to both the pill and prostap injection. I am meant to be trying a different pill next period but I don't have much hope that it will agree with me as I've tried about 5 different ones with no luck. I feel like the only option I have is surgery. Right now I'm trying the endo diet, hopefully that will give me some relief!

So pleased you have posted this. I've felt like this for over a week now and have finally given in and gone back to bed. I feel your pain. I hope you start feeling better soon!
