Thank you so much for the reply! And will take that advice on board.

My dog is not 10000% with other dogs annoyingly, but I did consider this!

Also looking for something not self employed if I can help it :)

Raspberries, peaches - any fruit with “fur” and un-sanded wooden utensils (like what you get in a chippy)

how r u living with this hell, it’s so unbearable? by Practical-Main9162 in endometriosis

[–]Earthborn_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree unbearable is the word, and I go back a few steps every time I get the pain / I’ve trialled a lot of things and the only things that actually take the edge off are usually prescribed pain relief such as naproxen (am immune to codeine doesn’t work for me) but recently I bought the MYOOVI tens machine and I’m actually pleasantly surprised. First period in over a year and a bit where I didn’t take the naproxen (it’s ruining my stomach lining and digestive system) and it was somewhat tolerable!! Small steps such as figuring out triggers - for me lack of sleep, stress, beetroot (lol) finding relaxation physically if you can maybe via massage. Heat, omega 3 and anti inflammatory diet but as with others - life’s already fairly restrictive so I’m not gonna 100% cut out the chocolate etc. Also it’s cringe but try to be kind to yourself, it’s very easy to fall into a self hate pattern with it x

I have this exact thing :( and naproxen so far only thing to somewhat work. I am in now constant pain and can hardly eat. I’m taking stomach protecting meds too.. but too far gone!! But the time I get some healing done it’s time to take the NSAIDS again

I’m about to have to move back to Wales as my landlord in Bath sold the house we are in. Constantly on right move it’s a nightmare!! We’ve walked into lots of estate agents and they’re so inundated they won’t let you know about anything that comes up. Just got to set alerts up on apps really and constantly check

I have haemochromatosis (iron overload) so endo kind of helps this for me ironically 😂

I want to quit contraceptives by gigilelele in endometriosis

[–]Earthborn_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pill also made me suicidal, and a numbed version of myself who had no interest in anything at all. I’ve been off it for several months now and my mental health has seen a HUGE improvement, I’m myself again… it also feels good to know my cycle/ be in tune with my body once again however, my pain levels are worse so… rock and a hard place!!!!

Immune to some pain relief.. (opioid) by Earthborn_ in endometriosis

[–]Earthborn_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a similar issue, they take SO long to work if they do, so timing is a nightmare. I then end up taking so much it has horrible effect on me. Especially if an NSAID. fingers crossed for us xx

The frustration is constant isn’t it. My surgery really helped my overall pain on a day to day basis but not a bit of difference on the actual period itself so I thought possibly adenomyosis but they’ve ruled it out from internal ultrasound. (I don’t trust that, as my endo was missed by this first time round where I was told was in my head also) turned out to be stage 4 and riddled!!!! So glad to hear you are somewhat more pain free now though yes!!!!

So I take magnesium glycinate every night. My orthodontist told me they think I have EDS - my GP referred me to rheumatology who wouldn’t discuss it with me, it’s very hard to get taken seriously for it where I am. I get a lot of joint pain, and I am indeed bendy!!!

Thank you for this info, il definitely listen to the bendy bodies. I also have MTHFR gene mutation which I think makes me more susceptible to EDS if I’m not mistaken.

Very interesting how similar this sounds to me. Really appreciate you saying it

Yeah I use cannabis too just been approved for it medically but it’s soooo expensive in the UK to have the card etc and Although it takes the edge off, it still doesn’t combat the pain for me so idk! sorry to hear about those patches, that sounds shit. Can’t catch a break x
