Headache for the past week!

I have no idea if this is endo related or not and I had it removed 4 months ago nearly. It can’t have come back already!

Anyways the last week I’ve been having a constant headache even though I’m drinking loads of water, eating and wearing my glasses.

Can it be linked to endo and what helps?

Also I’ve been getting the constant dull ache in my lower stomach again 😫 and constant tired despite sleeping 8hours a night

Sorry for the list haha, I just don’t wanna go back to the doctors or anything first

I don’t see my surgeon till January and my doctors won’t let me go on any hormone treatment incase it contradicts with my surgeons treatment plan xx

I have had constant daily headaches for the last few years, not sure if it's endo related or not though. I had my first lap in june and I'm not seeing my consultant until January but my gp has started me on the mini pill due to my symptoms still persisting. Might be worth going back and asking again? I had to ask 3 times before he gave in lol xx

Haha yeah, the headaches and tiredness may just be due to university and the constantly commute home everyday which is like 40-50 minutes xxx

I don’t have as many symptoms since I’ve had surgery about 4 months ago now. I still have painful periods etc but I just sort of get on with it as I can’t find relief. A heat wrap from B&M is a bit of a life saver for a few hours but the pain just comes back worse haha.

If you ever wanna chat, feel free to message me xx

I’m still in pain during my periods despite endo being removed and an ovarian cyst. So I haven’t really seen a difference
