Endometriosis and covid19

[Nic1983]

I have stage 4 endometriosis I have a cough once a month around my cycle and get dizzy when I have my cycle I have been concerned for a long time I have endometriosis on my lungs I’m concerned I could have thoracic endometriosis also, my question is am I classed as vulnerable to isolate with covid19 even if I don’t have evidence of having it on my lungs? I am due back to work serving the public in about 9 days time and my anxiety is through the roof right now, and I’m having constant panic attacks with the stress of it all

Where do I stand?

You don't have to work if you don't want to. My anxiety was through the roof just trying to buy food for my family while my husband works in London. I am still offering to go buy for others in an attempt to feel useful and be brave, as my daughter says. But, that is easy for me to say after 6 weeks of talking therapies with a wonderful NHS lady. Be kind to yourself and listen to your body, allow it to feel pain and embrace it, it is not your fault you are sick! Once you do this you can start to fight your own beliefs and be braver. Well done on sharing your fear, you are stronger than you know! Big virtual hugs my friend xx

Depending on your surgery response time you can ask for a fit note if you don’t feel up to working.

I’ve struggled since lap to do much and pain still there so work is hit and miss.

Try not to stress over it at the moment, try to rest and heal.

Take care
