Tips on How You Can Survive an Endometriosis Flare-Up

[@yogilune]

Thank you. This is super helpful. This disease sucks and I feel so alone because doctors don’t help/listen and only want to put me on the pill.

I'm glad you found this helpful and sorry that your doctor isn't listening to you. Hopefully you can find one that will and get appropriate care.

I can’t walk when I’m in intense pain, so I can’t walk to get anything to help me, I have to lay on the floor with my knees up so I don’t pass out. I lose all my color in my face, and sweat and shake like my body is in shock, I stay there until I feel I can get up, even though still in a lot of pain but not the intense that I just experience. Then I goto bed and lay still, gravity is my endo enemy.

I was diagnosed when I was 21 I’m 39 now. 4 laps. 36 miscarriages, yes 36. We kept trying in between children and we are lucky to have a family with four children. My last lap was June 23 it’s now April 24 and it’s back a few weeks with a vengeance. I’m on cerezette back to back and do not have a period so the endo will not grow. But last week I had a breakthrough bleed. It was a substantial amount of blood and came fast. Sorry for the TMI. It was frightening to say the least. My pain is in my right ovary (the knife like stabbing pain) the all over intense cramps are in my abdomen, tailbone and groin. I’m so so tired of this. My Gyne and GP refuses to offer a hysterectomy as “I am too young” I know this won’t cure it all but with having Adenomyosis also (diagnosed last June) I want it removed. They keep saying it will lead to more problems. I’ve seen women very happy after their hysterectomy. What am I missing? 💔😩 I hope everyone here is having a pain free day. But if you’re looking up this like I was you’re probably not. Stay strong. We are in this together. 💛💛💛

Did the doctor prescribed you birth control to help with pain do you bleed heavy on period?
