Seeking Advice on Natural Remedies for Endometriosis

I have been waiting for a hysterectomy to help with my endo for a couple of years now but I've historically been treated poorly by doctors and don't feel I was given enough viable options and have now decided I would like to try and help my body naturally, and then if that doesn't work revisit the major surgery path. Has anyone here had any success with natural remedies? Diet, supplements, anything? I want to be prepared for when I stop my injections. Thanks

Understanding the Benefits of a National Disability Card and Blue Badge

I applied for a national disability card today and got it. It was quite stressful to apply for though. I don’t really understand the benefits of the card as in discounts/skipping queues. Does it mean whoever is with me can skip the queue too or do they need a carer card. I can’t keep researching it because it’s so stressful so if anyone understands the benefits then please explain it to me, thanks 😊 I also applied for a blue badge for disabled parking for my physical disabilities so hopefully I get that because it would really help to not have to park far away and walk ages 🤞🏼 but I’m also quite anxious about if I do get that because I’ve heard stories of random people confronting disabled people and saying horrible things for them parking in the disabled bay because their disability isn’t visible.

Managing Mood Swings and Irritability after Endometriosis Surgery

Just a question for those diagnosed with endometriosis. I had surgery to diagnose and remove Endo back in February, I am doing really well physically and have healed well. My cycle has gone back to normal and is so much more manageable. That said, I am having a huge problem with mood swings and irritability. I have never had this before to this extent. My doctor put me on a strong birth control to help with endometriosis so I'm sure that is it or is at least some of it. Does anyone have any tips on how to manage/ has anyone experienced this.

Severe abdominal pain after laparoscopic surgery - need advice

I had my laparoscopic surgery on the 27th (about 3 weeks ago) and was diagnosed with stage 4 endo - with it being concentrated on both ovaries and colon. I was feeling a lot better last week until Saturday and went to the ER Sunday because of severe lower right abdominal pain that was radiating toward my back. The ER did a CAT scan and couldn't find anything. They said I likely pulled a muscle. The pain is a lot worse at night, almost to the point of being unbearable. Has anyone else experienced this after a laparoscopy?
