How do you treat your endometriosis?

Hi everyone,

I was wondering how you ladies treat your endometriosis. I was diagnosed 2 1/2 years ago and a Mirena IUD was inserted to suppress my period. It stopped my period for 8 months and they returned. I'm not coping with the horrible cramping and pimples it has been causing me all this time. Mostly the pain is affecting me, as I could pass out at times.

Does anyone take the pill back to back?

If so, how many months at a time can you skip your period?

Thanks

    HI Rosie,

    i was on visanne for a year which worked great, no pain and no dide affects but it was costing me too much and a friend recommended cezanne which ive been on now for 8 months. i had a bit of pain in the first month and thought it wasnt for me but its been great. i do have regular pimples but no periods, no pain and no side affects. i buy it online cheaply so i dont even need to see a doctor because of course they either dont believe me or want to do invasive exploration to check something ive already had confirmed. Give cezanne a try - good luck!
