I have a doctor's appointment next Friday, as for 4-5 days per month (day 5/6 of my cycle) I have unbearable endo pain. I can't try hormonal treatment because of chronic depression in the past on contraceptive pills, so pain relief is my only hope right now. Even if it takes the edge off!

Hi, mefenamic acid works for me. I also take cbd oil orally which i’m convinced also helps AND using organic tampons really reduced my symptoms. X
