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,
If you have or havn't read my journal my gyno last night told me my endo had spread and he had to take quite a bit out..He also said hormones obviously wont work for me so I have to forget that pretty much! (Im abit iffy about his statement).
He said I need to look at natural remedies, natropath, acupuncture etc.
I would be so appreciative of anyone who can give me insight into this.
My email is tate.fogarty@gmail.com
I'm not sure what a natropath does but I will try to see one today, if they don't give me a diet to follow I will strctly follow the endo diet however I'll need to keep up calcium suppliments and iron for when I am on my period as I have osteoporosis from depo provera and I lose that much blood on my period I become anemic!
I am only going to try this for 2 months if the pain isnt helped (this is my biggest issue currently) then he will have me back in his office in 2 months time. I need a life, Im willing to try all the ways suggested but if they dont work well onto the next option.
Thanks again ladies, appreciate it so much!

As for the holistic things the ones that worked best for me were a combination of diet change (organic meat, dairy & fruits... I didn't cut out food groups like some do), stress reduction/breathing/meditation exercises, & being adjusted by a chiropractor once a week (much of my pain was in my lower back).
As a side note: you've got to be really careful when doing the diet switch they didn't tell me, but it can start out making you sicker than you were before you tried it. That it is something you have to do gradually & not all at once. Hope this helps!
Appreciate all advice! =)
There is a natural treatment for endometriosis pain called the Wurn Technique. This therapy is completely hands-on and requires no drugs or surgery.
The therapy itself feels like a deep massage and has been proven to reduce pain and increase function.
