When would you contact GP?

Hello fellow endo warriors!

My flare up started last Friday, Saturday felt a bit better but I haven't been able to walk or stand properly since Sunday. I'm on morphine, paracetamol and codiene but the pain is still there. Struggling to move around the house without getting out of breath. I slept until 1pm today which isn't something I have done for years! I have a 22m old daughter who was at nursery today and is with nannie tomorrow (my MIL). I'm so tired. Even walking around the house is tiring me out. I have an appointment with my consultant on 28th on the phone after I was referred back in October, covid means there are just delays to everything. Is it worth contacting 111 tomorrow? I don't know what they can do? If anything? But this doesn't feel like a normal flare up. Im used to being sore, but I'm so so tired. Definitely not pregnant, but I haven't felt fatigue like this since I was pregnant.

HiYou should talk to GP or other medical just in case it’s something else, even just simple to deal with like a UTI. It’s always assumed it’s endo after a diagnosis or assumed. You could be low in iron or thyroid could be out of sync.

They are still there and working 😀, don’t let covid stuff put you off.

Let us know how you go 🙂

I've left a message with my GP, definitely not a UTI. This is definitely a flare up but the fatigue is a bit of a mystery. Im usually anemic but I'm not bleeding (sorry TMI!). Will let.you know what gp says. Thanks for replying, it's so easy to feel alone. Xx

Don’t apologise 🙂 If they suggest a blood test ask about Vit D and B’s. My D was low last year and I think it made a bit of a difference as levels crept up.

Good luck with GP 😀🤞

Hi Hannah. I had similar symptoms to this 2 months ago, I was so tired and had no energy at all. I also had extreme lower back pain and could hardly move. I went to a&e and it turned out to be a UTI. Hope you feel better soon. I would definitely seek advice x
