argh...

well i had surgery at the end of july (lap and hyst and d&c) i had been on depot for a year and finish just before my surgery.

i have gotten AF for the first time since surgery and i feel like cr@p.
the day leading up to it i felt like i was gettin the flu. all i did was sleep and get headache. i havent got full on AF just very light.

i was just wondering is it normal for me to feel like i have been hit by a truck or am i just coming down with something else. also is it normal to still have pain even thou they cut it out.. cause i still have really bad pain??

sorry but i only just got diagnosed so still try to work this stupid disease out :doh:

thank you
do you have to go to the hospital for morphine? :redface:

Ashli - sorry to hear you are still experiencing pain after your lap. :hug:

My endo pain improved dramatically after my lap and I held it at bay for quite a while afterwards by eating well and exercising (sounds easy I know but it really did help!). I found a book called "Endometriosis and Other Pelvic Pain" by Dr Susan Evans to be really, really good in detailing endo and ways you can manage the pain without the drugs.

Good luck, I hope things improve for you :hug:

im on morphine at home oramorph and mst(long release morphine tablets) i have been in and out for over 2 years last time i was admitted the diamorphine didnt have any effect so they had to give me ketamine and that worked. you are only a year younger than me so i really do sympathise.

they have suspected endo but they can't do a lap as iv got too much scarred tissue as it is and it would cause more.xx

oh ok thank you both of you. really good advice :D
i take nurophen plus at the moment because of the anti inflammatory in it.
but believe if i keep taking it it will stop being effective and i dont want to rely on them.
i know that when i eat really well and avoid certain foods i feel better on just normal cycle days however as soon as AF comes i feel 100 t:Dmes worse no matter what i do :wall:
again thank you for all you advice i feel better talking to ppl who actually endo as some doctors really dont understand!

Hi Ashli,

I am sorry you are going through so much right now. After I had uterine polyps and cysts removed the following period was absolutely terrible. I have always had excruciating periods at least for 3-4 of the 7 days I have it. I used to nearly be passing out, migraines, abdo pain etc.

I have found that by using wheat bags heated up, Harmony essential oils, buscopan, nurofen plus and this will sound very strange but exercise helps a LOT. Even if it's going for a walk, I realise how rediculous this may sound when you feel so bad the last thing you want to do is exercise, but it really does help a LOT. I also found staying away from carbonated drinks also helps :).

I LOVE my oil burner and the main ones I use is lavender and Harmony oils but make sure they are essential oils, they are much more expensive but it is worth it. I found the best place to get them is at PULSE pharmacies as they have a fantastic essential oil range :)

I hope that helps somewhat, take care
