Endometriosis Support Group

Endometriosis is a common medical condition where the tissue lining the uterus is found outside of the uterus, typically affecting other organs in the pelvis. The condition can lead to serious health problems, primarily pain and infertility. A major symptom of endometriosis is pain, mostly in the lower abdomen, lower back, and pelvic area.

cold symptoms

When I push my limits, which I do, probably too often, I get cold symptoms, sore throat, blocked nose & feel even more lethargic than normal.

I would love to know if anybody else experiences this?

Well, having endo can lower your immune system. And so I believe that could happen. I stay sick with a cold or sinus infection anyway, always have. So Just rest and take time for yourself. Oh yeah, and take you vitamins!

Hi there. Yes I often feel really really tired after I have pushed myself at the gym and very often wake up with a sore throat, so you are not alone! It is really hard not to worry about every symptom we get, because there are so many. I am amazed at what things seem to be caused by endo, I learn something new every day. Take care x

Well i have had a cold for what seems like forever, i am permanently exhausted, and as soon as I get over one cold another one looms.

Am hoping my immune system kicks back in after my op, but until then I am taking Vit c like Smarties.

This happens to me often and my mom actually bought me a book that explains how your immune, reproductive, endocrine, and digestive systems can affect each other. The book is called Living Well with Endometriosis...the book is awesome! And helped me to understand why certain things were happening to me.

It makes a difference knowing that you're not the only one to have certain symptoms, It is not something I've ever heard mentioned before, I was beginning to think I was a bigger freak than I thought I was!!! ;o) hehehe
It took me years to link the cold symptoms & endo!!! Sounds as if you are all a lot more clued up than I was, which is great.
As for Vitamins, I've had other auto immune conditions, so I take.... wait for it... Vitamin's C, B5, E & a complex multi vit with minerals; codliver oil; co-enzyme Q10; either evening oil of primrose or starflower oil, depending on where in my cycle I am. I'm sure on a quiet day I can be heard rattling a street away!
Any other ideas on boosting your immune system, Knaiman, I'd be interested to know who writes the book you found so helpful.
Thanks for the input, as I said, it's really good to know that others have the same symptoms.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
