how to help endometriosis pain - #26641
I am really struggling with this endometriosis pain and honestly, it’s taking over my life at this point. I was diagnosed a few months ago but I’ve had the symptoms for years, but nobody really seemed to take me seriously. My periods are sooo heavy and the cramps are unreal! I’m talking like curled up in bed with a heating pad, crying because the pain is so intense. This past month, I had to miss work twice because of the endometriosis pain. I’ve tried over-the-counter meds, but they barely touch it. My doctor suggested some hormone therapy, but I’m super wary about that. I read all these mixed things online about it. I’m just wondering, for anyone else who’s dealing with this, do you have tips or tricks on how to help endometriosis pain? Like, are there specific exercises that actually help? Or diets that people have found useful? I’ve heard about some lifestyle changes but it feels overwhelming to figure out what works. Please, if you have any insight on how to help endometriosis pain, I would be so grateful! Any advice would make such a difference!
