Endo history lesson!!!!

[valgal76]

On a bored afternoon today, i thought i'd look up when Endo was first diagnosed. It was about 1860, here in England. I wonder how women coped then???. Was it getting drunk that helped numb the pain, cos there were no painkillers like we have today i think. I have endo at the minute, it feels like a burning knife is slowly sliding across from my hip to my groin, but i do feel sorry for our victorian sisters, i really do

Hi

They would have ended up in the asylums and hospitals most likely, or the opium house. It was legal back then as the government got lots of tax. More than likely the pub otherwise.

Might turn out there is a herbal remedy they used 🤔 not just Poppy 🙂

I’m sure today woman still end up in the mental hospital undiagnosed, or prison because they couldn’t cope. They won’t be getting the help they need.

Sorry you’re getting bad symptoms, awful feeling. Hope it’s eased off a bit now.
