I got diagnosed with endometriosis in December, I'm in a lot of pain everyday all day, lucky to get any sleep.
My family are finding it hard as would any...I understand it must be hard for them to see myself like this..but the way there acting causes more pain from stress
Does anyone else gets this?
Thanks

Yes stress always seems to make my pain worse too even small things can bring it on too. Practicing mindfullness or meditating at these times can help. Good luck
Actually with endo there's a slight connection to chronic pain which opens the pathways to pain so it's perceived more easily. When your stressed your brain becomes overworked and then processes the pain faster.
I have always been told by medics that stress plays no part but I completely disagree! When I experience high levels of stress, my pain levels always increased significantly and nothing helped to alleviate this. Having a very stressful job didn't help!
I hope you can find strategies that are able to help you. X
