What medication do you feel works for you, or if there is none is there a way of life that can reduces my endometriosis pain?

That moment we all reach ( multiple times in fact…) There must be a way to handle this c***p , feel for you. From my perspective it’s been a combination of excellent surgery, instinct that kept me clear of rubbish diet most of the time before diagnosis and laying off allergen, keeping fit with walking, post diagnosis and grim levels of heavy duty pain killers I added certain supplements weaned myself off the pain killers, did a professionally lead pelvic recovery physio programme. As am menopausal I got myself onto body identifical HRT as I have low oestrogen alongside treating hypothyroid with standard meds. That’s been my journey in part because I couldn’t get the additional surgery I needed but it’s working for me , but others will have their route that manages, slows, deinflames their system. What I know is that for most it’s a combination of approaches . Trusting yourself and diarising whatever you do is key to working out how much help something is giving you or not. I was told by medics that the supplements and physio wouldn’t fix the pain but that’s not been my experience. In the end try what makes sense, is trialled, fits your picture and what you’re happy to try . Always research and look at the effects long term.
