Horrendous pain!!!

Hello everyone,

I haven’t been on here for a while, hope your all well and staying safe.

Where to start..... so I finally got my referral to a centre that specialised in endometriosis and was on the Depo injection. Unfortunately that injection was not working for my so I decided to stop that and revert back to the microgynon pill.

My appointment came through and was a quick waiting time. My pill was working and I was starting to feel great, my pain had stopped been to chronic and I was exercising daily losing weight.

Unfortunately due to the circumstances my appointment has been cancelled for the time been but I wasn’t to worried as my pain was under control.

Monday morning I woke up in pain🥺 couldn’t get out of bed and was so tired with the pain, yesterday wasn’t to bad I managed to get out of bed but sit couldn’t do much, I was think maybe my pain might be getting butter but last night and today I have been in chronic pain😢

My understanding for my pain I think is down to Last week Friday, Saturday and Sunday I ate red meat.

Please can people inform how long this pain will last because I’m really struggling to cope with this😢

So sorry to hear your in so much pain because of awful endo. I have it too and have suffered with years of pain. All I can recommend is having a look at your diet. Since changing mine I have had significant less pain, practically gone. I did the AIP diet have a look on line, it really has helped me massively ♥️ I'm not saying only diet will work for you, everyone is different but for me personally, it helped massively.

Thank you so much for your response. I do believe this flare up is to do with all the red meat I have, before the 3 days of red meat my red meat intake was once a week if that, I have been eating chicken and fish.

This is an awful disease for us to live with🥺

I will definitely have a look at the AIP diet❤️

For me personally red meat is fine (organic only however) bread and potatoes is what causes my flare ups the most. So now I just eat sweet potatoes and if I do have bread (very rarely) I have gluten free. Also certain vegetables that are nightshades can cause alot of inflammation (tomatoes, peppers and aubergines for example) but yes I believe fish is the best thing for us to eat. Also try your best to avoid sugar ♥️ xxx

What made you suddenly eat red meat?red meat is a no no for endo sufferers but I can understand you just wanting to live your life and try it!endo sufferers should only eat the organic kind of red meat which where I am is only available online.you really must know that diet changes for us are for life sorry you are in pain i would guess it would reside soon x

Aww I’m

So sorry it’s so easy to be influenced as well by meat when other people are eating it .Your body could probably cope with a few mouthfuls but then it would suffer

I know it’s awful, I don’t know how other people think but I feel I’m been punished for something🥺 x
