The UNSPOKEN Truth Behind ENDO.. Opiates.
So many of us deal with pain that would debilitate our lives, if we weren't able to sustain ourselves with some sort of medication to tackle the flair up. But what works the best?
Most of my doctors have put me on Tramadol first and Oxycodone when I explain how Tramadol doesn't do much for my pain. As well as nerve blockers and NSAIDS (Which I limit always to, when needed). HOWEVER, society has a different view on pain medication and I'm wondering if this has made anyone feel uncomfortable… read more

Does Anyone Have Endo Symtoms All Month?
My doctor says its impossible to have endometriosis symptoms everyday. He says the pain should only be on my period. Guaranteed its worse on my period but I'm in pain and exhausted everyday :( does anyone else suffer everyday of the month and if so how are you managing things? I'm really struggling to get up on a morning and carry out my daily routine, I feel like if I don't at least sort out my fatigue some how I will lose my career any advice would be great. Thanks in advance XX
I'm going to assume that your doctor is a regular OBGYN. And although they can be helpful you certainly need to seek out or ask for a referral to a specialist..

Anyone Taking Visanne Have Prolonged Periods?
I started taking visanne 7-8 weeks ago and had a noticeable reduction in pain however my first cycle while on the medication hasnt stopped and I'm going on 4 weeks. My gyno is suggesting I tough it out since it's working to reduce pain but I'm inclined to stop if the bleeding continues. Everything I've read so far about visanne indicates your period should become lighter and maybe even disappear so I'm wondering if anyone else had this side effect and was there a way to stop the bleeding?
I been taking vissane for 10 months, from january 2024 to this month, since I begun taking vissane my period totally stopped. I had my recent check up and my ovary sized decreased from 8cm to 4cm… read more

Visanne - Symptoms After Stopping Visanne?
Hi all,
I've been taking Visanne for a year now and doctor has said I can stop it. How long did it take for your period to return after stopping it? And have you experienced any other symptoms?

Hi everyone, thanks so much for sharing your experience
