Iv been diagnosed with endometriosis about 4 months ago.. and am waiting on my lab.. I am 24 it took the doctors nearly 4 years to diagnose me .. the pain is unbearable at times 😞 somedays it realy gets to me I just feel down and like crying I be in bad moods and take the pain out on everyone ..I would just like 2 no more about it and Is this normal

I think depression and other psychology side effects can be common with endo. Facing chronic pain can really get you down and question a lot.

Just remember how strong you are for battling this awful condition and always know you aren't alone in it. There are so many people here to support you!

What pain relief do you take and have you tried something like a tens machine to help pain?

Don't beat yourself up for feeling down- it's normal. It's okay to be emotional you are going through a lot! Sending hugs your way xxx

Sorry to hear you're in pain have you thought about getting the coil to help with the pain and settle your endo?

When was your diagnostic Lap? Was it recently? What stage did you get diagnosed with? X

Mine took exactly 12 months from lap to surgery on priority, which is urgent. And I was told at surgery this might not cure the pain, not even temporarily, and it didn't. I was also told because it was so bad I am high rate for it returning. That is why they call it chronic. I don't want to be a barer of bad news but it's true. This is why you now have to put in place other things to help you cope. Exercise, diet, stronger pain meds, tens machine ect ect. To find something that works for you .. good luck xx
