Are Pain Levels Higher When You Have Both Endo And Fibromyalgia?

Are pain levels higher when you have both endo and fibromyalgia? Seems like the endo pain exasperates my fibro, including swelling, back pain and fatigue.

How someone experiences their endo symptoms is different for everyone. Personally, I’ve had endometriosis my entire life and was diagnosed early. My doctor said I have the most severe case of Stage IV Endo she has encountered in her career. When I developed fibromyalgia the pain changed. At first I was just in a world of pain (I developed some other health issues too) then I understood when the endo was worse, when the fibro was worse, and often they blended together to make and unholy combination. I did find my endo pain was effected by my emotions and stress which wasn’t the case before because my fibro pain was made worse by stress.

This is true I also have fibromyalgia and the pain definitely gets worse even more when anxious and stressed xx

I seem to have worse fibromyalgia flares with my period and it just makes it doubly awful!

I believe it depends on the stages you have with endo, you can have stage 1 and get more pains than someone who have stage 4.
