Diet cured me!!

I feel for everyone on here and any woman still suffering that life altering pain. I have had pain for years and when I finally got diagnosed and put into the system to have an operation and it scared me so much that I wanted to try anything to fix myself but as you’re well aware there’s not very much offered or available to try so whilst on the waiting list for the operation I went to research my diet and decided to stop eating meat and dairy and went totally plant-based , after a few weeks I started to feel better and wondered was it really because I had change my diet or just coincidence so I stayed quiet and continued on the plant-based diet. After six months I was able to sleep every night and the pain had almost fully subsided I was of course elated and still wasn’t 100% sure if it was just the diet or coincidence, obviously I’ve continued and I know 100% believe it is my diet that has freed me from the life of pain and suffering without proper support from the medical industry . I have avoided having an operation, I never wanted surgery because it frightened me too much. I now feel I’m Endo free .. four &1/2 years on and I am the happiest I’ve ever been. I don’t know if this would help anybody or if anybody else has had a similar experience. I really do think it’s worth a try but you have to stick with it to see results. It’s also the nicest diet I’ve ever had ( I cook mainly homemade & fresh food so not fast food vegan super maket stuff ), changing to plant-based for me was a win win situation all round not to mention the environmental impact. Love to you all & I hope this helps someone x 🫂
