Hello
i have had diagnosis of endo for about 10 years, but after last lap several years ago, where I was told I had a minimal amount and the diathermy of this did not help symptoms, I resolved not to address it anymore. At the time I developed endo I was also diagnosed with ME - I was having all sorts of investigations due to persistent illness (fatigue, nausea abdo pain etc) that has left me unable to work etc.
Anyway, at times I get sick of the chronic pain - mainly lower right abdo - which worsens cyclically and think I ought to go to Gp, but am unsure what I am looking for as I don't think the treatments make any difference to me. Over the last year I have had increased spotting both mid cycle and pre-menstrually; at times it can last almost through the month. I mentioned it to my GP a couple of years ago when it was minor and she said it was normal. It doesn't feel normal now, or can it be a sign of ageing/peri-menopause (I am 43).
I just wonder whar others experience of this is, or if there have been any new developments in the world of endo since I last investigated...
Many thanks,
yours
