Hi all, I've not posted for a while so a bit of background, I was diagnosed with stage 4 endo in June, I've been referred to a endo centre of excellence and have just had an MRI (still waiting for the results) this is to see how deep the endo has gone, I know my uterus, ovaries and bowel are stuck together and it's in my pouch of douglas. I had the depo injection about a month ago and was feeling ok, but I'm now having such bad pains again and it's now affecting my ribs aswell, my hair has been falling out and I'm having hot flushes and feeling sick! Is this normal? I've not had a period since being on the injection could this be why my pains/ symptoms have changed? Im seeing a doctor saturday but just thought I would see if anyone as been through the same thing or has any advice for me, Sorry for the long post just dont know what to do with myself anymore 😫

I had zoladex and I did have some side effects like hot flushes and feeling very tired which are normal reactions to a menopause (which is the temporary state you are in) I read that hair could thin whilst on it but I didn’t experience it. Hope your appointment goes well.

This is why I haven’t taken hormones the injection does make your hair fall out you don’t have periods on injection either
