Hello everyone, hope you’re all keeping safe and well.

Unfortunately over the past couple of months my periods have been getting progressively worse and I’ve ended up staying in bed more and more each month because of it. I was unaware but after my negative laparoscopy I was discharged from gyne straight away so I am no longer under a consultant. My Gp re referred me back to them in may and for obvious reasons I probably won’t have an appointment until early next year. I know there will be lots of people on here in a similar positions so I just wanted to let you know that I’m thinking of you.

During this weird period I discovered these magic patches from a company called BeYou! I’d heard a few good things about them so I tried them and they do on the majority work. They’re great even to just take the edge off of things! I don’t really like taking lots of strong pain medication if I can help it so these are a good alternative or something to Go with it.. if that even makes sense haha. Definitely work the try! You can get them off Cult beauty or they have their own website. I hope you all have a lovely week. 🌼💖

Hi

sorry to hear things not too good I hope you don't have to wait too long for appointment......the waiting can be soul destroying!!! I'm currently waiting on 3rd op for bowel endo.

I've tried these patches and they definitely help to soothe the pains and help to relax your muscles still have to take strong meds with it but the cooling soothing sensation helps and anything that helps is worth a try.

Sending you positive thoughts and best wishes

take care and have a happy day
