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.
Does anyone else experience weakness, particularly when pain is bad and also even when it isn't so bad? I sometimes feel as if I've no strength in my body. Yesterday, I went food shopping and had so much difficulty pushing the trolley that an eldery lady stopped to help me!
I wasn't even in a lot of pain at the time, I was just weak. It was day 3 of my period, so I'm guessing this has something to do with it. I also am very weak around the middle of my cycle when I get very bad pain. I try to avoid shopping during this time, as I'm not able for it even if the pain is controlled.
Anyone else experience this or is there something else going on?

I guess it helps to know I'm not the only one in the same boat. I've been getting my groceries delivered to me recently when I know I won't manage. It just seems there are more and more days when it is going to be a struggle. And as for lifting those bags of shopping!! It is such an ordeal.
