The Downside To Codeine (UK Painkiller)

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Westgate on Sea, UK

Okay so I don’t know if anyone else is prescribed Codeine 30mg (2 every 4-6hours) but is it me or is it the worst painkiller. I can take 2 and in an hour I’m asleep or the opposite I’m wide awake and can’t sit still. It either makes me like I have done some energy drug or I’m comatosed??. Then to add to that where credit is due it stops the pain but then it makes me so constipated, I’m drinking and nothing helps then I have to take laxatives because I have gone 3 days without the toilet and I’m… read more

Does anyone take any tablets they can recommend me? I have a doctors appointment tomorrow. I won't some pain relief that will actually help!

CarliJade we are opposites! I tried coedine and it did nothing but naproxen seems to work. Just goes to show how medication affects everyone differently. :)

How Do You Handle Endo Flare Ups Interfering With Your Job?

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Boston, MA

I am wondering how you all handle your work situations when your endo is getting out of hand? My second surgery isn’t for several months and I am now struggling to the point of interference with work attendance. I have a new job and it is high pressure. Feeling really discouraged and not sure how to handle this.

Medication

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Elgin, UK

I've been tried on every medication possible apart from codeine.. I've been told my multiple people that codeine works better then co-codomal which is what I'm currently taking and it's done nothing for me what so ever. Any ladies taken codeine and found it works? Xx

CBD Oil & Endo (Australia Specifically)

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Warrnambool, AU

Hi, has anyone here had good success with CBD oil to treat endo pain (and all the other shitty side effects)
I'm currently always in pain, always nauseas, always tired, always got a headache (sometimes migraine), and stuff is either too weak to do anything or it gives me other side effects (e.g. nausea from anti-inflammatory , constipation from codeine, etc)
I've tried different diets (nothing helps), I've tried pelvic floor PT (I personally found this kind of condescending?) and I'm just… read more
