Hi 1purplepiano,

Feeling this way after diagnosis is really understandable, especially at this stage of your journey. It may feel like you are being left to deal with it on your own without any real resolution until then.

There are women who have shared similar stories than you have here

You might find listening in on an upcoming Webinar helpful. It will be lead by two nurses who'll discuss symptoms, treatment and pain management here

Here's some clinical information from Endometriosis uk

I hope that you will be seen to sooner than expected, so you can have a positive road to recovery.

All the best
