Pain so severe contemplating leaving work

Hiya,

I just wanted to share my issues and see if anyone is going through, been through the same and has any advice.

I am currently struggling with my endo problems with severe pain that is keeping me off work atleast two weeks a month. This month the pain is causing me to be off for three weeks.

My mental health is severely struggling and I am running out of ideas of how to deal with my pain.

I am constantly talking to my gp with meds being prescribed but nothing is helping.

I am really contemplating leaving work to focus on my health as I am struggling to manage my three days a week.

Does anyone have any advice?

I would really appreciate it.

Thank you for reading.

Has your gp mentioned anything about removing some of the polyps due to endometriosis? It might be a good idea to discuss with a specialist too... It's a laparoscopic surgery, but it might be worth discussing... I'm sorry you're in so much pain. I wish there was more that could be done to help. I also hope you've found a solution or something to manage the pain a little better. Keep me in the loop! I'm curious to know what happened. 🫶
