Unusual symptoms?

[Ulliana]

Hello ladies. I was diagnosed with endometriosis about ten years ago after about 5 years of being told it's just period pain or I wasn't drinking enough, (you know the story). Well here I am post two children, (youngest is 2) I now have had another mirena could for about a year and a half. My periods seem to have become more painful again, feeling fatigued and exhausted with sever leg pains, static nerve pain, painful ribs, pain in my lymph glands neck and armpits along with the worst case of swollen throat ever. I'm thinking that it my be my endometriosis worsening again as the same thing has happened the last few periods I've had. Has anyone else had these symptoms and if so what treatment or what do you do to cope with the pain. I feel like a hypochondriac when I talk to my family about how I'm feeling. Help please?

Hi Ulliana,

I am sorry to hear you are suffering. Your GP is there to help and something you might find helpful is to keep a symptom diary:

endometriosis-uk.org/sites/... so when you visit your GP they can see how your pain affects you.

You might also find the Endometriosis UK treatment pack of interest: endometriosis-uk.org/sites/...
