Natural pain management for Endo?

[rainbowsparkles]

Hi Ladies,

I was wondering if anybody knew of any ways to minimize pain without painkillers? Specific fruit, veg, vitamins etc?? I am in a lot of pain but I have been taking way too many painkillers and I'm worried about the negative effects it could have on my stomach, liver and my personality. I work in an office 9-5 and I'm finding it increasingly hard to focus and work properly while suffering the pain but I also have the worry of overtaking painkillers in the back of my mind

Any advice would be greatly appreiciated.

Much love xxx

Ginger is suppose to be good and bit d, but I've tried lots and no help, I like you take to many pain killers sometimes and would love to cut back xx

Hi, I take a vitamin B complex with a probiotic included, I have found that this really helps. The B vitamins help with the bodies red blood cell formation and also convert glucose into energy, I also try to keep my carbohydrates to a minimum just before my period.

hey!

I found a nutritional therapist who specialises in women's health and hormones who really helped me, i would def recommend doing the same if possible. It just helped to have someone outline everything and talk me through why certain dietary changes would help. i've seen a lot of success with it.

hope this is helpful!

Did you find that this was expensive? x

i second the recommendation of the period repair manual, so so helpful! Also there a book called 'Endometriosis: A Key to Healing Through Nutrition' which is supposed to be quite good although i've not read it yet myself.

Turmeric is a natural anti inflammatory. It needs to be taken with pepper and oil so it absorbs rather than passes through the system - if you google it you'll be able to find the exact recipe but I've found its a really great complimentary therapy x
