Hey everyone, I'm Tanni I was recently diagnosed with endometriosis and was wondering what pill would work best? A doctors opinion is great but I feel like they really don't listen. I have extremely horrible pains and my mood swings are awful.. I need help!

Your doctor is going to be your best source of advice when it comes to the pill.

Remember the pill affects every woman differently. What works well for me may give you massive side effects.

My advice is to ask to start with a low dosage pill and see how your body reacts (what side effects etc.). That will give you a baseline to try other pills if the initial one doesn't work.

Hope you find one that works soon!!

hey there i know a few Pain medications. Your doctor may recommend that you take an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) ibuprofen or naproxento help ease painful menstrual cramps.

My doctor put me on Zapain which he said was the highest painkiller he could give me which made zero difference :(
