Wish my body would give me a break!

Hi all, just another rant over the past few month I have been feeling really ill with my periods etc. During my last period I am knelt on the floor in pain with my pelvis. I also cant get out of bed for days at a time I'm supposed to be starting ivf soon whenever that maybe and feel like my body is just failing me! Im taking so many tablets I'm surprised I dont rattle! Iv also been suffering with severe constipation for some months, been prescribed laxatives now I have blood in my stools and feel unwell every single day! Now I feel like I'm getting a cold with an awful sore throat and terrible palpitations and stomach ache if just had enough! Keeping a brave face for your loved ones is so hard I just want to scream but you get on with life because that's we have to do! Hopefully should be getting scans done too just taking forever! Sorry all but needed to get it out. I'm really struggling to cope at times 😭 xxx

I'm really sorry, I hope things get better for you soon. It's so hard going through endo flare ups.

Reading your comments as I am writting on my endo dairy abour pains ane aches. Have you tried magnesim citrate for constipation? Helps with relaxing the boddy as well and for me works a treat especially during periods. Make sure you get some B vitamins to help yourself with some energy to fight if you can. Hugs

OK first of all is it 2 laxatives in the night how long have you been taking them??? Stop them asp dont take any at all as for ur constipation get stool softer the laxative are giving you the cramps in ur belly 2nd maybe you have fibromalgiya near the time od ur periods about 8 9 days it's unbearable I cry and even scream with pain and last I can understand how it can feel to have a child every mother dream but first of all ur health is inportant with ivf you can even have twins and ur body needs to be strong enough to handle having a baby especially if your constipated I susgest call your gp and say you get blood in ur stool and cramps I'm 💯 percent sure that's due to the laxiitves btw is it duxolax?? Don't take them please even 2 a day they give you the worst cramps ever I was abusing them for 8 years and look where I am I suffer from eating disorders and fibro low blood pressure knock knee flat feet ibs servere conspation that's wat laxatives do I hardly go toilet for so many days plz take care and there's alot ur gp can give for servere constipation also do you get pain anywhere else before ur periods during my period I'm a dead zombie crying 😢 because of the pain take care x ❤️
