Hii girlies

This is probably a bit of a rant I got diagnosed with endo about 2 years ago now after suffering for 8 years of pain but lately I just feel like it’s getting worse An it’s making me feel so down an sick of this shit.

Am constantly drained an just want to sleep I don’t take time off work as am a mechanic an just feel the men will take the piss if am always off.

I feel like all my energy an fight has gone lately, I can hardly ever stay awake long as my body is just fighting the pain day in an Day out now, last time I had a doctors appointment with a private gyno I was told they couldn’t do anymore other then a full hysterectomy being only 25 am having no kids definitely isn’t what I want but the way am feeling lately it’s making me second guess it just to be able to live a normal life.

Just looking for some help really to maybe boost myself

Thanks girls xx

I ... We all completely understand that feeling, you are 100% not alone :)

Recently I have been feeling the exact same, going through my 'last resort' medication before taking more serious routes (even though I keep researching for other ideas).

I would recommend you seeing someone else for a second opinion, I know you went private, but have you seen a specialist of Endometriosis?

My first surgeon was a general gyne and told me (at 18 y/o) there was nothing else they could do and that I needed to think about kids within the next year or so. Ridiculous right?

I got in contact with a endometriosis / BSGE center where they have helped me millions! I would recommend you doing this. Also, support groups! Its good to be physically around people who understand!

This condition is cr*p, think we can all agree. But it makes us stronger people, you are stronger than you think I promise. We all send love, and will be here :)

I’m in the same boat as you, I feel like I’m too exhausted to do anything then when I don’t do anything I get depressed? I’m stuck in a rut not knowing what to do.

Hello Lovely.

I was diagnosed just 7months ago as my endo pain came on so suddenly, never had period pain, none of the signs.Anyways, I too was finding it a struggle, didn't want to call in sick, always got discharged from hospital and came straight into work, emotionally I was finding it had to take in the diagnosis. I am 30 now and still not married nor have any kids and would love to have kids one day. I decided to get help as I was feeling depressed, always tired, sleeping more in the weekend and cancelling plans with friends. I now get counselling sessions over be phone and it has helped so much emotionally and physically. It really does help to speak to someone who doesn't even know you nor judge you. Please try and get counselling sessions. I joined through my work, well being it's called. As I work in a school.
