so I have endo. It is consuming me and my
family...I have tried everything but major
sugery. I am depressed and my 3 year old
wants to know why I am sad. I want to
crawl under a rock and die. There is no
support so i am looking for anyone out
there to share and let me know that I am
not alone...this disease sucks.

It can cause hormonal fluxes and cause
depression. Have you spoken with your gyn
about your depression? There is treatment
for it. I know it can help. My best friend
and my sister have dealt with this. Talk
to your doc. You should not have to feel
this bad!

thank you for your concern. Yes I have
talked to the doctor and he has tried
things...sometimes it is just
overwhelming...I am up right now while
eveyone is aslep in pain and all I can do
is sit here and feel sorry for myself. I
guess i just wanted to hear that I was not
alone and that other people feel this way
too but have coping mechanisims that
helped.

Hi Jenwithendo,
I am sorry to hear you are suffering so. I
am waiting to see if my endo is a one-off
or if I have the condition. I am really
lucky as I have private healthcare at work
and after a month long heavy and extremely
painful period which my GP dismissed and
told me I'd have to put up with , I was
referred to a private gyno - he was great
and I had a laporscopy the follwing week.
They caught it early and there was only a
small growth which was lasered there and
then.
I did see in another thread that a woman
was trying the Endo diet which she said
you can find on google. I have also heard
that acupuncture can be very good at
alleviating pain and helping with
depression.
I know that this condition affects
everyone in different ways and therefore I
am thankful that so far mine is very mild.
I hope that you can find treatment to help
you. I hope that you find some solace in
sharing your thoughts with others.
