Feel at bit at the end of the road with a plan of action...advice really appreciated.

Hi,

(New here)

Feel at bit at the end of the road with a plan of action...advice really appreciated.

I have had all sorts of ops here and there over the years and typically nothing is helping me now.

This year I tried the Zoltax injection but I only managed 1 round of the injection due to really server migraines, a month of headaches and migraines meant we all felt I couldn't continue.

So we have put me back on the mini pill. I also have the coil fitted. I have taken this as a combined method before and although it didn't work in helping my pain or bleeding, I felt fine (maybe a bit moody).

Consultant wanted me to try it again incase the Zoltax had helped a bit and now this could buy me some more time.

I am a month in on the mini pill & coil combined and this time (although I have done this before and felt fine) I am feeling really really sick.

So sick I actually thought about taking a pregnancy test. Which is ridiculous since I was scanned in January and in that time had Zoltax / mini pill & coil plus it would have to be practically a miracle conception!@

I feel I have now tried everything and my body is just not happy with the drug options so on top of pain / constant light bleeding...I now have other 'day altering' symptoms.

I am busy with 3 kids / run my own business - no time to rest in bed like I wish I could.

I am sure this feels a very familiar story to all of you.

I actually haven't chatted to my friends/work colleagues about this much, I almost find it easier to try and push through - by them not knowing it helps me make it through the day. As I fear as soon as I admit how tough it is, well...you know...at little less coping on part.

But I think I have to stop taking the mini pill, the constant waves of feeling sick are quite strong and distracting.

But what next?

Do I just accept the hysterectomy ?

I tried to leave a message for my GP today but they want me to see him tomorrow instead. I am not taking the mini pill tonight that much I know - executive decision on my part.

Any advice would be amazing, thank you.

Hi,

I understand about not telling many people and also don’t like people asking all the time and find it easier if I can just get on with it , I’d rather just say if I need help I would rather ask without going into detail. I would like to say though I think you’ll find the more you look into it hysterectomy doesn’t necessarily stop Endo. Are you being seen at a bsg Endo specialist centre?

Morning ,

So you say you’ve had various sugries have you been given formal diagnoses and excision? If you have I would request to be seen at a bsge endometriosis centre . Also you might find some of lindles posts informative x
