Wits end
Evening all.
I'm new here so I'm sorry if I'm posting something that's been posted before.
After years of pain, heavy periods, aches and really bad PMT I was finally diagnosed with endo about five years ago after scans and internal examinations. I was operated on and was ok for a couple of years. Then the symptoms returned and only after breaking down in the GPs room did they do the same again.
Just less than two years ago I started a new job but have had time off sick as my symptoms haven't improved. I'm tired, run down, back ache, stomach ache, pick up every could/bug going etc etc. Now I don't know what to do. My boss has called me in for a meeting about my sickness next week.
The Dr hasn't prescribed me anything but I feel all these symptoms are linked to endo and to the cyst I also had removed during my first op. I struggle almost daily. I'm sick of going to the doctor and begging, telling them I feel like rubbish. Please help!

I can totally sympathize with you.
When you had surgery do you know if it was an Endo specialist or a regular obgyn? This makes a huge difference in recovery.
Sometimes after having surgery they will ask you to take the BCP continuously to stop your periods all together. This does not stop the endo from growing but it does stop the period and symptoms and could help.
I found marvelon very effective for me but everyone is different.
Complete excision (cut out) of the disease needs to be done and it is possible for you it was ablation (just lasered) out leaving the root still behind.
