What are your endometriosis symptoms like?\u00a0<\/strong>Excruciating lower back, pelvic pain, hip pain, and sore thighs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What was your journey to diagnosis like?\u00a0<\/strong>I first had endometriosis symptoms aged 14. I did not get diagnosed until I was 28. I went to many doctors who were dismissive of my pain. My family doctor sent me for an MRI which showed probable endometriosis. I got a referral sent to an endometriosis specialist. I had a 9 month wait until my consultation but was told it could be up to 36 months. I met with the endometriosis specialist. We discussed my symptoms and what hormonal treatment I have used. I had been on Depo Provera for 10 years but it no longer kept symptoms at bay. We agreed a laparoscopy and excision would be the next best step. I then had an 11 month wait for my surgery. The lap and excision confirmed endometriosis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What was your experience with treatment for endometriosis been?\u00a0<\/strong>It is hard to find a doctor who knows a lot about endometriosis. Sometimes it feels like the patient knows more. I have been on Depo Provera for 10 years and for the most part it helped my symptoms until 2019 then they got more severe. After surgery it was agreed I would stay on Depo to try and prevent the endometriosis coming back.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How does endometriosis affect your day-to-day life?\u00a0<\/strong>When I would have a flare up, it had a huge impact on my quality of life. I would be curled up in pain or in the bath, unable to go to work or anything else.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How does endometriosis affect your emotional well-being?\u00a0<\/strong>Luckily my husband is very understanding. Endometriosis can be very debilitating and can cause a lot of anxiety.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How have you found hope and support in your endometriosis journey?\u00a0<\/strong>I found really supportive groups on Facebook which was all people who also have endo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
