Nausea, light headed

[Orange_umbrellla]

Just wondered what people's experience of nausea, lightheadedness and fatigue is with endo? I haven't been diagnosed yet, waiting to see someone but I have these symptoms every day, sometimes with the pains too, sometimes just on their own...

Hi,

I'm getting a lot of of dizziness and nausea and a lot of pain from Endo, I thought know my dizziness might be due to me wearing a high dose of morphine patch for pains. I had mild dizzy spells and nausea before taking any pain killers, it could be due to Endo. I'm always feeling exhausted, fatigue, sleepy throughout the day, at nights I can't sleep properly I keep waking up.

Are you taking any pain killers for your pain?

I get two main types of pain, bad "menstrual" type cramps in the centre, usual place, but then the worst pain on the lower right. When I get the lower right one it makes me feel so so unwell! I've just put a heat patch on it hoping will calm it down.

I'm only taking paracetamol and co-codamol if it gets really bad (can't take much ibuprofen because of stomach issues). It comes in waves.

The doc put me on Amytriptyline 10mg to help with the pain and it did after a few weeks but I think I need to up to 20mg as it's getting super bad again

Same as you though, the nausea etc came way before I was taking meds of any sort.

Sorry to hear you aren't sleeping, the Amytriptyline helps me with that problem, maybe you could ask your doc about it?

I don't have any periods anymore as I had hystercretomy a few years ago. I've tried taking Amytripyline before and didn't really help much apart from weight gain. So far no pain killers help me, they may dull the pain a bit for a while but then they stop working.

My whole stomach area, bladder, bowels feel bloated all the time when I eat sometimes even if I don't eat anything. My pains are different sometimes throughout the day, it's burning, sometimes sharp, or dull stabbing pains, cramps all over sometimes I feel like something is poking me where my ovaries and ribs are.

I'm going Monday to see my GP I'm hoping he can help me and give something for the bloating feeling and get a scan done as I can feel something sitting on my bladder bowels it feels heavy.

Yes definitely see someone. Do you still have some endo as I know it can loiter even after you've been through the Hysterectomy...?
