Hi all, I have recently been diagnosed with endometriosis following a scan I instisted I wanted. Drs wasn't keen but I kept pushing. I have suffered with heavy and painful periods for over 20 years. I have been fobbed off for years trying several different contraceptive pills. Have had 3 different coils during the years but nothing helped. I constantly suffer with daily pain, trouble going to loo. Bleeding. Low back ache, bloating, dizziness and generally exhausted all the time. I suffer with anaemia and take iron tablets every day. I am taking Naproxen for pain, take tranexamic acid but nothing seems to help. I hate that no-one truly understands the daily pressure of living with this. . . .
