Help With Crippling Pms Symptoms.
Please does anyone have any suggestions for me? My pms symptoms are so bad and last weeks. Nausea, insomnia, crippling anxiety, stomach ache, headache, depression. Every birth control I’ve tried makes me sick physically and mentally. I have stage two endo and I’m not ready to give up my uterus and such. I already had 2 excision surgeries. I don’t know what to do anymore. I’m lucky if I get one week a month where I feel so so. Please someone help me.
I used escitalipram which helped. Take a look at Jean hailes website for some herbal meds that can help with pms/pmdd.
Has Anyone Used Zoloft Before?
Just wanted to get an idea about what the effects of Zoloft are if anyone has used it before
I used it to treat my PMS -- only took it the 12 days before my period. It was generally useful. I felt foggy sometimes - the highs were lower and the lows were higher. I felt more even, but life also… read more
Does Anyone Know If There Is A Way To Get Financial Help For Endo Care?
I'd like to get to an actual Endo specialist, but the ones in my area either don't specialize enough to handle extra pelvic Endo, or don't take my insurance. My husband thinks I should just stick it out and do PT, which I plan to anyway, but then do nothing else and follow up in 3 months to see if PT helped the rest of my body. I'm not a doctor, and I believe that there is musculoskeletal pain, but I don't believe that there's no Endo. There was confirmed Endo on my colon in 2013 and it didn't… read more

When Can I Do Butt Workouts After Laparoscopy?
6 days ago i had a laparoscopy done with no removal of endometriosis on my fallopian tube. was wondering when i will be able to do workouts such as donkey kicks, squats, etc??
I would recommend asking your surgeon. If you start too soon, you may end up hurting your insides and creating complications long term.
Has Anyone Tried The Nerve Med Lyrica (pregabalin)? If So Did It Work For You? Side Effects?
My endometriosis expert wants me to try a new nerve medication called Lyrica (pregabalin). If you've tried this, did it help with your pain? My most severe pain is actually in my sacroiliac joint & the muscles & ligaments around the joint. It's specifically for nerve damage from spinal cord injuries (I have a herniated disc & either pinched or entrapped sacral nerves).
Since my flight from Hawaii to Portland for my surgery I've been having stabbing pain in my SI joint as well as spasms in my… read more

Pms?
Is pms a part of endo? I'm 99.9% sure I have endo I have an app at the hospital next month, Along with the unbareable pain and many other symptoms I seem to have extreme pms. I'm so unbelievably angry at times I can't control it other times I'm extremely sad or extremely happy a lot of the time these 3 emotions cam all come on the same day! I feel like I'm losing everyone due to my erratic moods I've never been like this before? Advice please :(
I have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety also.
Night Sweats
I have night sweats constantly and I assume it's from the birth control or the lack of hormones because of the birth control, does anyone know more about this? Does anyone know if changing to a different birth control may help? Or is it caused by the endo itself? I can't see why it would be but saw many others have this problem too. I hate waking up constantly sweaty then cold then sweaty. Sigh.
Hello there, are you perhaps taking Visanne?
Has Anyone Been Super Emotional After Hysterectomy?
Before my hysterectomy is was on lupron and it made me very emotional, like cry at a commercial emotional, and since my surgery it seems to be worse. I've never been the emotional type, could it just be the change in hormones that is causing me to feel so much?
I also have chronic Migraines, so I'm already on medication that is also a mood stabilizer. If this moodiness continues I will definitely talk to my doctors about it though. Thanks !
Any Suggestions For Medications With Minimal Side Effects For Post-surgery, Stage 4 Endo?
I recently had surgery to remove a large endometrioma cyst, ovary and tube. The surgeon also removed (via lap excision) endo throughout pelvic region and an attachment to bowel. Doctor is suggesting aggressive treatment to prevent it from coming back. He suggested Lupron and Letrozole, which I refused due to side effects. Mirena IUD also an option but I really don't want an IUD.
We settled on lo lo estrin, but want to do research before even starting this. I feel a non estrogen pill would have… read more
I use LoEstrin (Lo LoEstrin's big sister) and it has worked pretty well for me. I am stage 4 and started taking it right before my lap, which was in November 2015-- so I've been on it for almost two… read more
Does Anyone Else Have Extreme Pain With Sex?
My boyfriend and I cant have sex because it’s so painful. I got reccommended to go to a pelvic floor therapist. Does that help at all?? I feel so alone in this, and I also have no sexual desire. Im currently taking Zoloft and my dosage just increased to 150mg. Could that be why I have no sexual desire? I feel so lost and alone. Any answer helps.
I also have had issues with libido and painful sex. I honestly just haven’t pushed myself or my body to do things I wasn’t ready to do, and tried to lower my stress levels because that also made it… read more
