That’s great that you have a diagnosis! For me it meant that I wasn’t crazy or a whimp about what I was experiencing. It meant it was real. Now that you have a diagnosis there are a range of different treatments to try and help you manage it. 👍🏻 x

Thank you so much! It's definitely overwhelming and a relief that I'm not going mad. I have a mirena coil fitted last month and he said this is the first thing to try and help symptoms. So fingers crossed this helps!

I felt the same, wasn’t expecting it at the time, but so vindicated re local surgery.

Did the consultant not explain treatment?

Straight away I was told about treatment.

Yes he did explain treatment, I am already on the right course of treatment. Had a mirena coil fitted last month and I was told to give it a chance to help.

Such a relief to have the diagnosis

It’s amazing just having someone accept what you’re telling them. Hope the Mirena helps 😀pity there isn’t something that works instantly...

It’s amazing news to have a diagnosis ! I felt funny when they told me I had endo too. But I knew there was much more than what the doctors were telling me.

Your diagnosis means whatever you want it to mean, take it that your body is telling you something, to maybe slow down and maybe relax more, maybe look at your diet and lifestyle , my diagnosis was a wake up call for me to relieve my emotional strains, fix my diet and start exercising. My endo gets better with every month

I hope this diagnosis brings you what it brought me

Stay well.
