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 girls,
I understand that normally when endo starts out you get the bowel problems, the pain, and most of the other stuff during or before your cycle.
I had this for a while, but now these symptoms happen every day. Now as I have said previously i am on continuous birth control pill called Loestrin so I have no idea when my normal cycle should be etc. I still get the extreme symptoms regardless of whether i'm on or not.
Can endometriosis still cause all these symptoms everyday whether or not your on a period? That might sound like a silly question. I am just so worried Im gonna get to another Dr and he's going to say those symptoms don't match up. I am losing my mind and getting sick of staring at these same bedroom walls day in, day out.
And why is it that endo causes extreme fatigue? I had a glandular fever/mononucelosis when I was 17 and the fatigue I have been feeling is almost as bad.

I'm fairly new to the group and am certainly not the expert some of these ladies are but you're definitely not alone in what you're feeling, I'm in the same boat. Of course the pain, etc. is worse during my cycle but nonetheless, it's there all the time along with the fatigue. I think our symptoms are normal unfortunately. Keep your head up! :)

i just wanted to say i know what you going though ith not knowing what is wong, having to first battle with doctors to listen and to understand.
i am also loosing my mind in these four walls, i miss my life and i cant remember what its like t feel or be normmal.
the fatigue i have is insaine and it comes from inside my lower back area and just leaves me breathless and sooo fatigued that my heart beats faster trying to keep up.
dont always take t heart what the docs say, they ae not always right. stay firm on what your body feels and draw your courage from this..

ive been dealing with stomach and bowel problems my entire life and when i started my period at 10 it got worst. i now have stomach pain, cramps and diaherrah throughout the month sometimes everyday. my doc has told me that endo can and will cause bowel problmes even if you dont have your period. also endo can lower your immune system causing extreme fatigue. i deal with horrible fatigue as well but vitamin b complex has helped tremendeoulsy with that. anyways good luck with everything and feel better soon
