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.
I've been on this med for 2 years and have been able to stop taking pain meds (vicodin, percocet, etc.). It may not yet be FDA approved for chronic pain, but I'm curious to see if anyone else has had any luck with it.

hi, i haven't had any luck with gabapentin helping with my endo issues, but i take it for diabetic nerve pain and it's been the only thing that lets me sleep--it's truly been a miracle drug for me, if only it helped with cramps for me!

it's great for menopausal symptoms, too, like hot flashes and night sweats :)

I take it for pain in my right leg and my endo and it did not work at first but as they raised the dose it is now my miracle drug, I could not do without it, but it does cause weight gain.

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...
