Hello

I have just joined the community. I am 25 years old and am undergoing investigations for Endometriosis which has been going on for around 10 years now.

I am also going through with an Employment Tribunal due to losing a job earlier in the year for my illness and absence.

I am off sick at the moment from my current job and am suffering with really bad pains either side of my pelvis, mainly the left side. I have had the Mirena coil fitted and have just finished a course of antibiotics for an infection caused by the coil.

I feel like this is never ending....

That sounds so tough :( It’s so unfair isn’t it. Have you had a lap yet?

Hi rescuedogmama

Welcome to the forum - it's a really supportive environment and I know our other members are here to help in any way they can.

We run a number of face to face support groups around the country - you can check if there's one in your area at endometriosis-uk.org/find-a.... If there's not one in your area, we also have an online support group.

Sorry to hear you're having a difficult time at the moment and I hope the investigations you're undergoing for endometriosis are able to shed some light on the symptoms you've been experiencing.

Not what you're looking for?
