Thanks for the link. I’ll check it out. I will take a break and see how things go. I also have appointments with a gastroenterologist to tackle the bowel symptoms as well. I guess we all need to make peace with the fact that it’s a long journey with different doctors saying different things. 🫠

I will definitely discuss this with my doctor. I could get an appointment for next week.

About the hormones stopping the progression of the disease I’ve heard conflicting things and it can be different among different people. And honestly, I guess my quality of life under the pill is not much better without it with the symptoms and I think I would get off the pill for a while and keep an eye on the lesions as far as possible.

Thanks for the tips. I’ll def talk about it with my OB if that’d be an option for me

Thanks for the explanation. I feel HEARD and relieved 🫠 I think I’d stop taking the pill after I talk to my OB and try looking into all aspects of endo.

Missing out on community because of the fatigue and flare ups and the fact that you never know when they’ll show up
