Endo on front page of Guardian today

[Eggcustard]

Hi everyone,

Great to see endometriosis on the front page of the Guardian today. There is also an article that mentions the women with endo are twice as likely to have fibromyalgia. I can't post the link for some reason, if someone else could I think it would be useful to some,

Thanks.

Very interesting article sorry I can't help with doing a link as my knowledge does not go that far but when I spoke into my tablet and said Guardian article on endometrious it went straight to the article. I always had very heavy painful periods which I had to have a hysterectomy for and they say there is a link there as well. Tks for posting it as I think it will give many good info.x

I was fitted a coil to stop my periods ,the pain was that bad , they said I had endometriosis after I had abbi would only have a few days a month free from symptoms ,but GP put me on meds and it settled down , have to say once I moved home to Wales my health care became so much better with my care , in Bedfordshire they fob you off with I think it is ,now extra test to double check anything ,is the norm ,I am very with my Heath care .

Yes I used to be the same of course when I was in my early 30's they didn't have the drugs and treatments they do now had to have ovaries removed as they were coveted in cysts. I was never the same after they stopped hormone treatment after all those scares. Downhill pain wise all the way after that.x

I always suffered with painful periods had a D & C when I was sixteen, didn't work then they said when I got married I would be better, then it was when I had a baby i had two babies didn't work in so much pain so I had a hysterectomy two months after my 30th birthday , which worked . Best wishes

I'm glad its been useful for some people, I certainly wish this information had been available 5 years ago. There are quite a few articles on the site today about endo x
