Hey all
i went off all treatments on the 1st nov and i dont want to take any more hormones or birth control coz me and my partner are going to try for a baby next year, BUT as most of you know the pain is soooo shocking wen you go off everything. So wat i want to know is if any of you have found a natural therapy or something to help deal with the pain and still be able to get out of bed????

I haven't really tried anything that I have read about. I too have gone off all hormonal meds...and just take vicoprofen for pain now. I am wanting to try some of the things I have read about but don't know what to start with. If you google natural treatment for endometiosis you will get several websites to check out.

Hi, I went to see a doctor that deals in chinese herbal meds and he gave me tablets to take with every meal and also tea to drink twice daily. I will be honest the tea tasted vile but I did find this help with my endo symptoms, at the time I was trying for a baby and had been for over 18 months and was hoping this would help. I am pleased to say that it has and I am now 3 months pregnant and feel the happiest woman alive. I hope this helps x x

Hi, I am constantly looking for solutions to help with the pains. And to tell you the truth, what has been most helpful for me is changing my diet. I don't drink any soft drinks, I stopped eating meat and also foods that have been deep fried, including chips etc. And that diminished the days that I'm in pain. I hope this is helpful info for you.

TENS machine & heat I find are soothing.
I've also had a good experience with Chinese medicine like tigger13, & yes I would agree the herbs are vile but they can help.
Accupuncture is also very good.
If you can manage, yoga is very good for deep relaxation.
Hope this helps.

    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...
