Hormonal Migraines. Whats Some Solutions To Deal With Them?
I have tried Midol, Exedrine, tylenol, advil. Ibprofen. (Pretty much all otc meds) And my doctor has me on B-2 and Magnesium. We are trying to get pregnant so I cant be on BC which is what controls them normally.
Pain Control
Hi everyone! I stumbled upon this page when looking for some support groups for woman who suffer from endo. I am sure we can all relate to the rollercoaster of emotions and the journey we all experience.
Lately my pain has been getting increasingly strong. What do you guys do when you are having flare ups?
Heating pad, omega 3, turmeric, Advil.. my favorite pjs and a happy movie. Trying to eat well and exercise as well (even light yoga for endometriosis) when I'm in pain sounds counter-intiutive, but it… read more
Period Pain Relief
Curious what others use when they have terrible cramps. I end up with such awful pain that I have to take dangerous amounts of ibuprofen. I've been getting serious side effects and am worried about kidney/liver damage, along with the ulcers and bleeding. Tylenol doesn't work for me, and I haven't been prescribed anything else.
I've previously tried suppressing my periods with different birth controls but it didn't work for me. And I won't take Lupron. I want a hysterectomy but no one has… read more
Gas X Or Charcoal Pills After Laproscopic Excision
Hi ♡
Has anyone tried either, or are there other alternatives to reduce the C02 pain after surgery?
Thanks! 😊
Ohhh, that gas pain!
At the hospital, I was given Tylenol 3, as well as something else which eludes me now, but the best and most annoying solution was to walk a tiny bit each day. A heating pad… read more
Do Any Of You Deal With Severe Stomach Pain? What Do You Do For It?
I’ve always gotten this, but it has gotten so much worse in the past few months. I struggle to describe it. My stomach gets so tight and it feels like the inside is pressing out. It almost feels like gas pain but it’s different I just can’t describe it. But it makes me feel sick. I get it every time I flare up now.
You’re welcome
How Do You All Cope With Flare Ups I Tried Heating Pad, Midol…. I Think I’m Going To Try Acupuncture. I’m So Miserable.
I completely understand the desire to be holistic. If you’re comfortable, find an acupuncturist who can provide herbal treatments. This helps. I think my dietary changes were equally impactful. I… read more
Showering/hair Washing After Surgery
Hi everyone,
I had laparoscopy a week ago today to remove endo and my appendix. I am wondering (for those who have had the surgery) how long was it before you could shower 'normally' again and what you did know the mean time. I'm especially having difficulty figuring out how to wash my hair cuz dry shampoo only goes so far lol
KatherineB it actually felt good to bend over the tub because it gave my back a chance to stretch out! I have a hand held showerhead so I took that down, kneeled down next to the tub and just bent my… read more

Does Any One Have High Estrogen Levels That Won't Come Down Even While On Letrozole?
I had surgery for severer endo that went undiagnosed for 15 years (always told it was bad cramps) and they put me on a low dosage of BC after to control my estrogen. 3 months in, it wasn't working, was still getting a period while on it so they switched me to nuva ring, again, didn't work, still bleeding. They put me on an aromotase inhibitor with progestrone, I've been on it for a month and once again, not working, got another period. I don't know what my options are? Am I just screwed… read more
