I have now been formally diagnosed- I scored 0.90008 out of 1 on my test which means I have a very high After many Gp visits, countless prescriptions of high painkillers, doctors saying it is period pain (no 💩) and my referral pushed for key hole …. I finally have an answer and closer to some physical

How to cope
I need to know why doctors are so afraid to prescribe effective pain medication to patients with no history of drug abuse when the patients pain is interfering with daily living needs such as bathing.

Am I right to suspect endometriosis and ask to see a private specialist?
I’m worrying I was wrong, asking to see an endometriosis specialist. What if I’m being dramatic or I’m just really sensitive to completely normal period pain. I have to take naproxen on the first day of my period cause when I used to not take it, my pain would get severe and I kept vomiting or feeling

Why don’t my Family understand what Fibro does to me?
Despite everything that I put in front of them and how much my GP has told my wife I still get sarcastic comments about when I just can’t push myself any further with doing things? I suppose it doesn’t help that in my 40’s I was almost ready to enter the over 40’s Bodybuilding novice championships! However

Pain Relief that isn’t opiate based. Help!
My stage 4 HGOC with mets on bowel (miliary disease) among other places and has now become painful. I was given morphine but it put me into bowel obstruction so I am now too scared to have any opiate based painkillers. Has anyone found any other pain relief that works and doesn’t slow the bowel?

A reply to Wasabigirl’s post about PID (?) which has since been deleted
You could ask for an MRI of the lower pelvis and muscles there. A sonogram generally cant see those areas (nor a laparoscopy or laparotomy) and pain in those areas can refer to the groin. I had an infection and was only treated with tetracycline for 5 days (many years ago). Then the terrible burning
