Do you mean the stomach flu?

I thought I got the stomach flu or food poisoning once a month and it turned out just being my period, with endo it's pretty common to think you have the flu when you're on your period.

When I went on my first birth control pill the symptoms stopped and I was so weirded out by it.

I got chills, nausea, leg pain, back pain, and diarrhea.

But endo is also an autoimmune disease so it could be that, I know I get uti's and test infections all the time.

Hi, when I had cold or viral infection, I had flare up of Endo. More pain etc. I guess we can only try to boost our immune system with good diet, exercises and not feeling stressd? x
