Ok, since i started at age 12, i've had crippling period pain every month. I've been to the doctor, and have been given scans, hormone tests, painkillers, you name it, and it's still really bad. i'm on the pill and only have one every three months, and all that seems to have done is make it worse, and it's really starting to get to me as i've just spent all day unable to move, lying on my bed. The only reason i've been able to get to the computer to post this is that i took some very strong painkillers that the doctor gave me that have the fun side effect of making me feel very dizzy.
I was wondering if anyone knew any homeopathic remedies or anything like that that might help? I've begun dreading them coming <IMG SRC="frown.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

Have you tried acupuncture? Homeopathy? Both worth a try.

what exactly is it? ive never heard of it before?
Endometriosis is when the lining of the womb (which is shed when you have a period) gets out and attaches itself to other organs and stuff in your pelvic area. As these 'bits' of womb lining are still controlled by the hormones that make you have a period, they bleed when you have a period. This can cause severe pain and sometimes can lead to infertility probs. Sorry, don't mean to scare, just wanted to explain because 2 million women in the UK have endometriosis yet so many people have never heard of it. Go to the UK Endo Society website for more info. www.endo.org.uk

never ever do i want a baby then!!! lol
It was like this pad full of liquid stuff and you stuck it to yourself (not as bad as it sounds) and it would heat itself up while it was in contact with your skin and be all soothing. The beauty of it was that it was quite thin so you could wear it and go around like normal. Although i wouldnt recommend it with low slung trousers!
Well, hope that helps anyway
