Struggling with Endometriosis Pain Management

Hot and cold roll stuff that u put on at night my pain had gotten worse in the past year and got out on three types of meds

Use a heating pad and

Also I have a mirena IUD which has significantly reduced my period flow. It’s given me some unpleasant side effects though like acne and inconsistent periods but they’re always a mild flow which is what you need with endo

It took me 12 years to get an endometriosis diagnosis. I was accused of being a hypochondriac and so on and doctors would not help me! I eventually saw an OBGYN dr who specialized in endometriosis laparoscopic surgery and childbirth (he also delivered my youngest child). He removed what he called the “deep seeded endo.” They basically burn it off. The surgery was non invasive but took a month to recover. Did you have surgery for your endometriosis? There is also a new medication available for people with endometriosis called orillisa and it worked for me but I can’t take it anymore because of my chronic migraines. I would ask around locally to see if you can find a dr who understands all about endometriosis surgery. As well as consider seeing a natural or functional medicine dr who can get hormone level tests done for you and get you on “seed cycling” (Where you eat certain seeds and oils during certain times of the month to regulate hormones)

Try finding a specialist. There are a lot around the world. The best thing I have found is the less periods I have, the less my pain is. My obgyn put me on continuous birth control so I skip the placebos and it has made a HUGE difference, but talk to a doctor before doing that

My best advice is to find a different doctor, also try applying a heating pad on low to medium heat when the pain is bad. Also try and take advil and Midol (not pampron).
