New and looking for advice

Hi all, thank you all for sharing, I've felt a bit lost and unsure about what to do and reading some of your experiences has been really helpful.

I was diagnosed 15 years ago after fertility problems and was so very fortunate to have successful surgery and fall pregnant. I've been symptom free for 13 years.

Now, suddenly I have pain and anemia. I have had a scan and it's confirmed my fears; endometriosis. The doctor said I have many adhesions and I wondered if surgery was the solution. I have a full and happy life and I currently spend too much time with a hot water bottle, dosed up on pain relief, trying to stay awake.

Any advice would be really greafully received.

That's great advice, thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I have joined the Facebook group and am seeking a specialist BSGE centre. I will also request an MRI to see if surgery is the right way to go. I find the prospect of surgery quite terrifying but also the prospect of carrying on terrible too.
