Flare up of serious pain!!

Hi ladies!

I hope your all doing ok in this crazy time!

So I’m looking for a bit of advice. Late 2019 I saw my gynaecologist as I have had problems for years with extreme bleeding, bad pain etc. I decided to go on the implant as I had had it years ago which was the only this my periods lightened/ stopped on.

When I saw my gynaecologist and explained my symptoms and she saw my medical record etc, explained endo was in the family and after a very uncomfortable examination, she told me she suspected it was endo but wanted to do a laparoscopy to confirm and potentially treat this. I was due to have my lap on 9th April 2020 but of course coronavirus hit and put an end to that! So I’m still waiting for a diagnosis and hoping for some sort of treatment!!

Since being on the implant I haven’t really had a period and have stopped bleeding completely but still get the horrendous pains when I’m due to have one.

Does anybody else find that their flare ups are worse every few months?! I get the usual pains every month but lately it seems to be every 3 months or so I have a flare up where it is almoSt too much to bare.

What have you found as good home remedies that helps? And also what has been your best form of pain relief.

Any advice welcome

Thank you ladies xxx
