Flare up

[Louise2468]

Hi I am new here as need some support for my endo. I am waiting surgery to completely diagnose my endo but I am currently having a flare up I think. My symptoms are lower belly pain, spotting, diarrhoea, anxiety. My doctor agrees but hasn’t really done any thing to help me. If anyone has any suggestions of how to help me that would be great x

Heating pad, ibuprofen, rest, herbal tea, gentle stretching, meditation🤷‍♀️
