Just a simple yes or no would be great to this question from any of you. Do you find that stress makes your endometriosis symptoms 100 times worse? I want to know if it’s all just in my head. Had a stressful day and I’m in agony - yesterday

Thanks

Yes. Though I think it is different for everyone. I used to think no, more like I wouldn’t accept it was stress.

But I’ve just come out a 2 year awful and extremely stress full relationship, and oh my I am 100000 times better.

Yes! Makes my symptoms 100% worse. Was at a family wedding the weekend before last and the stress of getting everything organised for it and family politics thrown into the mix I ended up in absolute agony for 3/4 days after it.

Wow thanks everyone - a resounding yes. Perhaps they should consider offering relaxation therapies as part of the pain management. I also think I need to try and find a less stressful job 😂😂 thanks so much for your support 💖

Meditation and acupancture helps.
