Endometriosis and Adenomyosis, are they the same?
Hey everyone, I recently had an internal ultrasound as part of the beginning of my investigation into endometriosis and the woman was absolutely amazing - she found 2 things. Firstly, she said my copper coil was embedded into my uterus, so I need to have that removed (which actually got me a referral

2 weeks post op ? What’s normal?
I had major surgery to help with stage 3/4 endo and had the coil fitted to help not only with endo but adenomyosis. It was the longest surgery I have had done Surgery went to plan and endometriosis was removed within reason BUT Is it normal to feel deflated and have good and bad days still, Internal

Pain worse after coil fitted
Hi everyone, I had the Mirena coil fitted in November to help with my Endo pain and bleeding. They did say it can take 6 months before it starts to work but the pain has worsened and the fatigue is awful! I am struggling on a daily basis and can't decide whether to wait it out as it has only been 3 months

Sotalol v Bisoprolol
My GP recently decided to discontinue my beta-blocker from 2 x 2.5 bisoprolol and take 1 x 50mg sotalol instead. (This decision was following an ICD firing) I had been taking the bisoprolol for the last ten years and monitoring my BP with a cuff device, where my BP had always shown a borderline normal

hysterectomy advice
due for 2nd removal of endo tissue, and removal of coil as this didn't work. I had been given the decapeptyl injection which was wonderful and I was pain free for the first time in 10yrs. have asked for this injection again and refused due to my age (42) looking to see if anyone has fought for a hysterectomy

ICD complications
Hello everyone This is my first post on this site. I had an ICD fitted last August after I had a major heart attack that resulted in heart failuer. As I was having some issues with the pocket my cardiologist decided to go back in and bury the ICD deeper into the muscle. This was done in early March.

Tramadol - Anxiety
Hi for my endo pain and pelvic pain I’ve been taking tramadol with paracetamol. I’ve been on this since getting the coil fitted but the pain has been more frequent. This may be stupid but I take 50mg x 1 or 2 tablets 2/3/4 times a day depending on my pain. I definitely wake up in agony in the mornings

Found out my consultant may have been negligent…
Hi all, Some of you might have seen me post on here before about my journey. I had a laparoscopy with a general gynae back in October who left a two sentence report on my file saying she had removed endometriosis spots.

Help with unexplained weight loss
Hello all, I am waiting upon the fitting of an ICD. In the meantime, as a type II diabetic, I have been having terrible problems with my guts. Lost 20lbs in just a month. Seems my medications had pushed me into Ketosis which probably is the cause. This came on top of painful cramps and griping in my

Finally got a follow up appointment …
After having my lap in October , another 5cm cyst was found 3 weeks later on ultrasound and I’ve been waiting for an app with the gynae ever since I’ve finally been given a last minute appointment for Thursday with a locum gynae, and I’m so nervous he won’t take me seriously as my last gynae told me
