Hi Claire
You're having a rough time! I had a total hysterectomy a long time ago so I'm not in the same spot you're in.
Two statements of yours concern me: the length of time you've suffered and this recent sudden weight loss which you weren't striving to achieve. I hope that you will let your doc know about this weight loss, and let doc know right away. 3d thing that worries me in addition to those 2 is the much worsening pain. Please let your doc know about these things.

Hi Claire
Sorry to hear you are going through so much. I was diagnosed with endo and endo cysts about 2 years ago and had surgery last September.. Which thankfully I feel better after. I had a laparoscopy and removal of both cysts. One of my ovaries was practically removed but that left ovarian tissue the best they could as that was what I wanted.
Anyway the year prior to surgery I looked at my diet/ lifestyle etc and went pretty clean as I could with natural foods and beauty products. Did yoga and walked a lot in fresh air. The diet change over time did help my pain a lot esp monthly times. I wasn't in as much pain as you describe however, I had a more inflamed feeling and achy feeling inside and needed a hot bottle most nights to alleviate it. I did use to suffer horrendous period pains some months, but now it's minimal if at all. Really hope you get relief soon Claire and if you need any further info just let me know. Regards, Sarah.

Claire, it might be best if you tell the doc about the weight loss and let doc ask questions. Sometimes if we say what we "think something might be" docs don't look at it any further.
Let us know how things go.

Thankyou so much for your reply and kind words...and im so pleased to hear you feel alot better,thats brilliant...i cant wait to have my op and hopefully will feel normal again...its funny that you said about the hot water bottle as i used a heat pad today as the pain was in my hip and it really helped...most of my pain now is a constant ache..and sharp pains in my right ovary area which makes sense as thats the one they are removing...anyway thankyou again,im very grateful for your advice..best wishes,claire

Claire,
Sorry to hear that you're suffering.
?As far as I understand, tiredness and overall aches can be commun symptoms in endo - as we suffer from a state of chronic inflammation, it takes toll on our bodies...
?About the weight loss - I'm not sure you could easily realt it to endometriosis.Maybe it's better to consult your doctor, just to see they're not missing any other condition (maybe not gynecologically related).
?Hope you'll feel better soon!
