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 just joined this community and I am hoping I have found a place that I can discuss the pains, both emotionally and physically, that come with endometriosis. My friends and family try to be supportive, and I love them for it, but I can tell they just don't understand how difficult this disease can be. I am 22 years old and I have a hard time accepting the fact that I have a chronic illness, I have had two surgeries to remove the endo, and although they work for awhile the pain always seems to come back. I have tried drastically changing my diet, which seems to help also, but it is hard to imagine having to be this strict about what I eat for the rest of my life....Anyone who has advice on how they cope, or other treatments you have I tried I would love to hear from you....

I just wanted to say hi! I am new here today too. I don't have a lot of tips because I am a late bloomer endo sufferer, just started getting symptoms at 32. I do know that raspberry leaf and dandelion root is good for our condition. There are teas you can buy with this in it. :)

Well, by some miracle I've been able to concieve after my laprascopy, and so far as long as I stay pregnant I haven't really had any problems. Probably because I've only had 3 periods in 4 years. If I'm not pregnant I'm nursing my babies. YOu're still young, so I'm not sure this is the route for you, but just wanted to let you know that it worked for me. Ha,Ha,Ha....:)

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
