Acupuncture worked wonders for me. It regulated my cycle and controlled the bloating. I have also heard of cupping techniques I haven’t tried it personally or even yoga. I recently have stopped going to acupuncture bc of the price and my symptoms have come back stronger. It definitely helped me feel more “normal.” I highly suggest it:)

How bad are the flushes and nausea ?

Prostap I take as an injection either in the arm or stomach, it basically induces a temporary menopause so as long as your on it you wont have a period so it controls the endo. Some people take it every few months up to as often as 25 days which I do. Its good at stopping periods but it does have not nice side effects like sickness hot flushes and can weaken bones so they give you a HRT (hormone replacement therapy) if your on prostap long term. It gives you back a very small amount of oestrogen to help.with side effects but not enough to bring back your period. They recommend everywhere not to be on prostap for more than 6 months but my doctor seems to think its okay that ive been on it a year and a half so who knows aha! xx
