How long does your flare up last?

[Lamc17]

I’ve been suffering from endometriosis for 8 years now and have had 2 laparoscopies. My flare ups used to last from a few days to a week. This time round it’s been a month, has this happened to anyone else? I feel like it’s so long

Hi - it’s not just you. My flare ups last from anywhere between 5 days and 8 weeks. You’re not the only one, so please know many of us sympathise as we are going through the same things. Once it eases off, the relief is amazing. It will ease off at some point. Good luck! X
