Flare up recovery and appetite

Dear Lovely Ladies,

I am yet to have a lap but every other scan has come up clear, so working on the basis that it is endometriosis causing my pain and symptoms!

I was hospitalised a week ago from the pain and heavy sickness leaving me dehydrated to the point of losing consciousness, my flatmate was a lifesaver making sure the paramedics came, after 2 repeated tries myself during the day.

After a week of bed rest and building my energy levels back up, I seem to have hit a brick wall, where I am struggling to eat as I get very full quickly, and seems to provoke nausea. I have some anti-sickness tablets left after this week but I am struggling to make plans for fear I'll be too far from home to deal with this or too weak from not eating!

Do you ladies have any ideas that have worked for you in the past?

Also, seeing my doctor Tuesday and hoping to ask for hormone treatments or changing of contraception from the implant to something like the coil. Does anyone have any experiences with what has helped them? I'd like to try out these methods before the procedure of a lap!

Thank you :))))

I'd definitely take anti sickness long term if your doc will prescribe it! Unfortunately nothing has worked for me but its suspected I have adyenomosis aswell. I'm due for a laparoscopy in 2 weeks. Really hope you find something that works.For me I take lots of painkillers and anti sickness and stuff to stop bleeding but unfortunately it doesn't make a huge difference.

Thank you so much! I have an app with my doc this week so I'll bring up this option! Good luck with your lap and recovery and some pain free days XX
