Hi There

so sorry you are feeling this bad life can just get on top of you I know.I dont know what injections have been suggested you try but I wanted to give you a positve story about them.

before my surgery last sept I had 6 months on zoladex implants and I know people react differently with them but it was the best thing I could have done bleeding stopped almost immedietly and my energy level was incredibly boosted.It gave me a chance to have my life back for a while and enjoy things again.I did have hot flushes but I was on Tibolone add back therapy at the same time which im sure helped havinfg these hot flashes were nothing to what i was dealing with before!!no one can tell you what to do regarding the injections but I felt a positive story about them and how they helped me may halp you a little .I really hope you can get some relief soon what ever you decide to do. Take care x

This isn't a rant - it is a very sensible call for help.... It sounds like you need someone to talk to. Have you got a family member or a friend that you could spend some time with? Or maybe a sympathetic GP or specialist nurse at your local gynae clinic?

It must be really hard feeling that you aren't able to do the things you normally would - all the stuff we do as women help to shape who we are - how we feel about ourselves and you've lost a lot of that. It is normal to feel sad, lost and for it to change your relationships. It sounds like your husband has lost his domestic goddess too and that could be making him unsettled too. Must be really hard for both of you.

The Endo UK helpline or a support group might be a good place to get some information about the treatment you've been offered and some support while you're feeling rough.

The Endo UK helpline is open from 7.30-9pm tonight on 0808 808 2227

Check out endometriosis-uk.org/suppor... for the opening times and info about which mobile networks are free to call.

Hope you see a way through it all soon x

thank you all im off to my gp first thing monday morning my gynea is a waste of time to be frank has not explained much to me at all and all my family live up north we moved down somerset 2 years ago for a better life for my twins girls and now this im going to see if i can get someone to talk to and a specialist the few friends i have down here 2 are pregnant and one is busy doing here house up shes just bought they do phone and check on me but have been honest and said they can imagine what im going through and do not no what to say hense they have been a little distant

It is hard for those who don't have endo (or chronic pain from some other cause) to "get it"

I found a support group environment a complete revelation from that point of view - have a look at the website info on the Taunton and Bridgewater group endometriosis-uk.org/suppor... Jeny who runs it is amazing - met her at the information day in Manchester a few months ago, total respect! She's also the charity's "expert" on Zoladex experiences I think. x

I'm sorry to hear you are having such a difficult time at the moment. I live in Somerset and go to the Taunton and Bridgwater support group and I can vouch for what RockChick72 says about how amazing Jenny is! The group is brilliant and if you can make it I would really recommend it. Friends, parents and husbands are all welcome at the group as well so maybe you could come along with your husband? It might help him gain a better understanding of what you are going through x
