Open Dizziness & Vertigo

I tend to get random dizzy spells where I can be walking and it seems like the rooms is weaving very fast from side to side. As well as feeling like I'm spinning and sinking when laying down.

Open Endometriosis

A few years ago by a doctor that I had Endometriosis, and I had all of the symptoms. I've never been treated for it, at the time but I never went back. It runs in the family, and it's thought a great aunt likely had Endometriosis and PCOS by symptoms (back then they never really got straight diagnosis', classed as "female problems" and the doctor had her get a hysterectomy.)Though, years ago as a teen I was given Depo Provera, the ARNP said it'd likely lighten my periods to lessen the pain.
