Who’s heard of this?!? I’d like to think you all have. Just another problem that comes from laparoscopic operations. I’ve just found this out due to me being one of those people who has to have all the answers. It is caused by too much co2 in your body and can be caused by the operation itself where they pump your abdomen full of co2 and also from the opioids medication they give you before and after the op. It caused slow breathing as your lungs are not functioning at there best and it just gets worse if your body does not rid itself of co2. Just something the doctors and nurses don’t tell you. It come with complications. One which i am having and that is depression. Amping a few others. What is it with the health system where they do not see it nessessary to discuss these things. Have a google of u would like to know more. I simply done so as I’m depressed and I am finding myself unable to walk far due to running out of breath

😳😱😱😱😱! Thi is exactly what’s happening to me! I think my partner is fed up with me complaining about something every time 😬 I am out of breath I have to fight with breathing literally and I also get light headed is that happening to you too?! I can’t believe it! that’s why I feel so weird specially when i have had about 5 laparoscopies! Thanks for the tip I am gonna research about it! 🤗
Endo uk just deleted a link of which I put on to help those who may wish to find out more on this. Saying my sources were not up to standard of what was allowed as in it’s not all uk bull crap affiliated. I myself am highly concerned about the side effects of co2 in the human body. And I do both think it should be flogged off as in accurate. Endo uk go ahead delete this post. Proof that you are just another organisation that is actually not there to help anyone
I can’t believe this! I thought we are here to help one another any link is helpful! It depends on the person to research and make her own conclusions, personally that was the way I found out about endometriosis and if it wasn’t for me the diagnosis would have been delayed! I had to come to the gp insisting I needed to be referred to the gynaecologist because I suspected I had endo! I am a bit disappointed to be honest 😒
Yes and worldwide it is this way. Doctors cannot be bothered. Unless they are getting paid big bucks. Humanities inability or lack of understanding of the human body and diseases is grossly disgusting. We have had no progress with basic diseases that have been around for generations. And there will never be answers. The groups of people responsible for this have 1. No bloody idea and keep repeating the same info making it appear they are learning about disease and they are having breakthroughs or 2. Do have the answers but know damn well the money that patients invest in there health gravely outlays then finding the solution. Through all of this I have had my eyes opened to the majority not giving a toss or just not being educated. And us on here have to educate ourselves as you have said. I too went to dr and had to tell him what u needed as he was not going to help. He knew what needed trialing but I had to bring it up he was happy to send me away with nothing .
Thank you so much for your information nevertheless the information provided by EndoUk is very basic.... I have found help on this blog by many other women in the same situation rather than “endo uk itself”’it is a charitable platform for a reason and i don’t believe a simple link would be misleading...it depends 100% on the person to research and have a second opinion in what she is looking for, obviously having this disease you are so desperate you want answers! Having said that I truly respect your code of conduct but it would be worth clarifying that WE the women that are in such distress can decide whether to follow up a link or not...
Thank you
The endo uk website may seem basic but it’s just a guideline and as a 19 year old who didn’t know endometriosis is a condition, their website helped me a lot in checking symptoms and also the relationship side of things. They also helped me join here as it’s their page.
The info may seem basic as endometriosis isn’t a well researched condition and there are so many theories of how it’s caused and everyone has different symptoms so information can be limited. But their info is pretty accurate compared to a random link that may be false and cause more distress to the person.
Same with doctors, they aren’t specialists in endo so they don’t 100% know what to do. Yes it’s frustrating but it’s just the way it is as they aren’t gynaes etc.
Absolutely! Yes you are right on this point too! But as I said previously EndoUk did help me to get into this community that’s all, and the information is accurate still basic in my personal opinion. There are a lot of missed information on the internet you are right! but you know your body more than anyone else and only you can decide whether to follow misguided information or not... also you can always research, compare and have your own conclusions too.. at the end of the day we are here to share our experiences and get support and understanding from one another.
All the best x
