I was diagnosed last year at age 17 with stage 2. I then under went a long operation to remove the endrometriosis tissue, however recently my pain is back I have been taking the pill for a number of year to counteract the constant pain and regulate periods. I'm only 18 and I suffer from almost constant chronic pain. My a level studies are being compromised meaning I have to study a year longer. I'm struggling to come to terms with my diagnosis and that a year of my life has been altered due to this pain. I was wondering whether anyone had any tips on controlling or distracting pain especially when studying? I have tried a number of pain medications and heat.

I find hot baths help, avoiding gluten and lactose, and gentle exercise as often as I can help. Also . mindfulness and relaxation.
I also have to pace myself. I can't do too much on one day. If I have a busy day I get sorer.
I don't eat any ready meals etc and avoid alcohol ( and non-prescription drugs )
I eat a lot of veg, some fruit, nuts etc. And some dark chocolate
It is very hard when you have to limit your life and can't do all the stuff others are doing. I think it is ok to get angry and fed up sometimes but I try and limit it to 15 mins then I give myself a shake and say one of my mantras
