Endometriosis - is it ruining your life too?
I was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2015. It has had a massive effect on all areas of my life. I am in tremendous pain constantly, have lost my job as a teacher as I cannot be in control of the class when I am often on morphine for the pain. It's meant that I am often too poorly to go on days out with my kids and my husband has had his happy, carefree wife turn into someone who is in pain, hurting and angry most of the time. For the last 12 months I have been on Chlomid which due to it controlling my cycle was controlling the pain too. I would still get pain but it was just 2-3 days at the start of my period and then the same at ovulation. Now that I am back off it and I am back in constant pain. I started my period last week and was in agony and laid up in bed for 3 days. My period finally finished yesterday and yet today I am in tremendous pain again today. I've woke up with sickness (from the pain) and diarrhoea (as endometriosis is on my bowel) along with period pain. I have had to cancel the appointments I had for today, including my dental appt being rearranged for in 2 weeks so I get to stay with toothache for another fortnight, and I'm now yet again laid in bed waiting for the morphine to kick in. I have been told that if I have the coil fitted that this would help but we have been ttc for 6 years and I don't want to have to give up our dream of a baby. I'd really like to hear about how other people coped with endometriosis, especially while ttc. Did you find anything that helped? I am also interested in hearing from anyone who has used the coil. ...Did it stop/manage/ease your pain?
