Anyone else with endometriosis?

Hi, I was wondering whether there are also other patients in treatment that also suffer from endometriosis.  I have endo since 3 years and it gives me a lot of pain.

Hi Vicky or anyone else with endometriosis, how are you doing with pain associated with this? Has this improved through treatment? Did you have to ever get adhesions removed? Just looking for a ray of hope pain will eventually lesson especially around ovulation and my period!

Thanks Annika and Mimi! I do believe mine is endo and PCOS, but Dr. M is having a hard time figuring out why it isn't improving. Had more testing done and found out have a severe case of biliary hyperkinesia and only really responsive treatment known so far for this is a lap chole. Dr. M doesn't know how to treat this condition with herbs alone nor is it that common, but my pain is unreal. Counting the days until my acupuncture treatments start to try to get my gallbladder to be in a relaxed state and see how that goes. If no improvement will have gallbladder removed and hopefully Dr. M can help me through the recovery process and while there in there they usually do an exploratory lap to check out all the surrounding tissue and organs. We will see what is to come over the next 6 months. Hopefully pain reduction without the need for surgery!

Hey cprince, I don't have endo o think but my menstruation pain has gotten much better over the course of last year. I remember how painful it used to be I needed a hot water bottle. Now I often feel almost nothing at all except the blood coming out of me.
I have a friend who became symtom free by following a similar diet. And she became pregnant which wasn't possible before. Maybe this gives you some hope.

I had endo and had some lasered off but not sure of the status of it now. I had painfull periods in my 20s, but not at all in my 30s and definitely not with Dr. B's treatment. Periods are very gentle for me now.

FWIW, probably half the women in the us have endo, hense the need to take NSAIDS around one's period. The thing is, the only way to confirm it is via laproscopy, and most people don't get cut open. Annika it is likely you have/had a mild version as well. As I said, the only gold standard diagnosis is via laproscopy

If we don't excel at health, the only other option is disease.
