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.
Hi ladies,
I really need some advice, ideas, a hug?
I'm on my 2nd period since my July 8th surgery (exicision) that completely rid me of any visable signs of endo (so my doctor tells me).
It took me 7 weeks to get my first period..it was heavy and overly clotty, I passed a white clot that couldn't really be figured out 'why'.
Now I have been having sharp pains since Saturday night. Yesterday I got my period, I was in pain all that afternoon, and up in tears all night, I am so tired, colourless and lifeless. It was by far up there with the worst pain I have ever experienced, and is continuing not as bad but still very strongly today.
I feel like I'm back at square one. I am taking no hormones as the doctor said no more as I react to them. I am taking natural suppliments and once I recovered besides my first odd period (7 weeks later) I have been ok. Today I feel like someone has knocked me out I havn't been like this in awhile. What do you think is going on?
I was close to vomitting last night, but I couldnt moved out of the foetal position and stop crying. I feel so lost, I'm going backwards... Can it be too early to return? and why SO much pain??
I need help, I don't know what to do! Even mum feels helpless. Im so lost, I thought I was making progress =(

i also know how it feels to finally feel somewhat human and like you're going to be ok, only to have that pain hit and yes it feels like going backwards or a downward spiral. it's truly awful and i hurt for you. it's just not fair. at least we all understand and you are definitely NOT alone. it can really upset and depress me when it's happened. which is twice since i was dx. it's really hard and i've begged and pleaded not to have to go back to living in bed or back on the couch to no avail both times. i'm here too anytime you need to chat. luv and hugs always!!!
Thanks for the comfort, I really needed it and appreciate it!
xoxo
