Hi all, I was diagnosed with endometriosis at 16 and am now 37. I’ve got X 2 kids and things had been settled since my second who is 2. For many years I was on the pill (16-30) and only had a period every 3 months. In the last few months I have noticed that my symptoms are reoccurring : abdo pain most days, constipated, very tired, headaches and of course heavy periods . I’d like some advice on whether this is a usual pattern? I also have an under active thyroid so a lot of the symptoms are the same but I am finally on decent treatment. I’ve got an appt to see my dr next week but just wondered what treatments people were having now and what else I could do. Thanks 🙃
