Endo on the bladder
Anyone else have the bladder and bowel endo? Willing to try anything, for any kind of relief. I have endo on and going into my bladder and now also effecting my bowel. It's triggered normally about day 3 of my period and last for a good 3 weeks. The first few days I just have to be near a toilet, when

Does this sound like endo?
I have had chronic pelvic/ lower back pain for the past 12 years, it flares up to the point where I can't do anything, but lay in bed and then after a few days to weeks it calms down to just the "usual pain/ache" and the cycle continues. I have been to see so many doctors and trips to A&E over the years

New FDA approved therapy (fingers crossed!)
Dear fellow RLS sufferers: My Kaiser doc informed me that there is a new device just coming to market for RLS. It has been approved by the FDA for mod-severe RLS, and is currently available in three states, CA being one. The machine is called the NXT 100 ToMAC, and it is somewhat similar to TENS.

Does TENS machines help with Endometriosis?
I am willing to trial anything if it will help reduce my symptoms as I'm struggling quite badly. Someone told me to get a TENS machine as it could help with the pain I've been having. I'm just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this or have tried it and it helps with there endo pain?

update on prolotherapy
I have had my first prolotherapy injections, they don't hurt much at all.......I must admit the next day I thought oh no I have done the wrong thing....my legs were so bad I wanted to jump off the bridge. Today they have settled down a bit. I suppose this has happened because the prolotherapy causes

Pending Hysterectomy Advice
Hi everyone, I’m feeling anxious to write here, it’s only tonight I thought maybe something like this might help, alongside those who know and are experiencing the same as me. I’m due to undergo surgery for a hysterectomy in December, and am now starting to feel incredibly anxious. Sorry for the essay

Severe pain triggered by sitting or lying down- does anyone else experience this?
Hi all, my first post on here! I was diagnosed with stage 2 Endo after having a lap last December. The surgeon found it in the space between my womb and bladder, womb and bowel, and around my left ovary and all down my left pelvic wall. It was excision surgery and he took out everything that he could

Week 6 #1 done
I was going to give myself an extra rest day after slogging my way through a very unpleasant 20 minutes at the end of week 5. The weather was so inviting yesterday morning that instead of a gentle morning of pottering around I set off to start week 6. What could be so difficult about it? After a solid

Hypothyroidism and shivering
Hi. I have Graves’ disease and hyperthyroidism but a few months ago my doctor had me take 4xs my medication to prevent a flare from covid.

pregnancy RLS
I was on medication before I was pregnant because my RL was so severe. Since being pregnant the medication wasn’t advised due to lack of research. I am approaching 32 weeks pregnant and it’s worse than ever! I can’t sleep. Iv tried iron supplements, tens machine, ice packs, magnesium cream and bath salts

2023: Your Successes and Failures
My mum is 83, has PD and dementia.
Successes
1. Constipation and digestive issues very much helped with the addition of Motilitone, a prokinetic. Once a day or every other day now. No strain. Zero stress around the issue now. Previously, there was a great deal. Abdominal pains have gone. (

Solifenacin
Hi everyone. Here again. After a few months of almost normal life it seems the Solifenacin has stopped working. I am only on 5mg but am reluctant to take the 10mg as the lower one causes constipation for which I have to have laxitives. On a high fibre diet but with plenty of fruit and veg. This
