Allergies and Endometriosis
Many people living with endometriosis also live with different types of allergies. Do you currently live with allergies, and if so, what type? Do you find that anything helps to relieve your allergies when you experience them?
Rhinitis/ chronic sinusitis
hi Kim!!!! Thankyou for thinking of me!!
It’s been 7 months since my hysterectomy with ovaries in tact.
I can say I’m about 40-50 %
After surgery my OBGYN put me on myfembree, and I can say it’s working pretty well. I have little side effects and no weight gain unlike the other hormone medicine I was put on like the depo, orlissa , and lupron.
I am also seeing a pain specialist for my endo and chronic pelvic pain. She has put me on gabipeton 600 mg at bedtime. It’s alright, not wanting to be on it much long I’m not seeing any improvement. My original doctor helps me also with my endo flares that I still get so I take emergency oxy for those. I still get neaseated with my endo flares and have chronic fatigue and Diarrhea. I am learning how to live with this and stay positive. I nourish the bad days and embrace the good days
I’m praying for in the future we find a cure for endometriosis
I hope you are also doing good Kim! This support group has helped me at my lowest and I enjoy it so much. Helps me not feel so alone
Blessings I will keep everyone updated❤️
of course dear warrior! Wow, this is absolutely amazing news to read. I am so glad to hear you are seeing some improvement! And even with those few struggles still, I just love your positivity. It's contagious. "Nourish the bad days and embrace the good" YES! I am working on this myself. I am praying for the future where we can find a cure too or at least a much better (and promising) way of treating it!
I really appreciate you tons. I am okay. Hoping surgery this month will be an answer to some of the pain. And then after, will do my best to push on forward. We are glad you enjoy this support group. We enjoy having you here and hope you never forget that we are always here for you. Definitely keep us updated! BIG HUGS! ❤️ -Kimberli (advocate)
I have problems with chronic sinusitis. It’s from eosinophils spikes too. I have to use steroid irrigations but discontinuing longterm omeprazole helped too.
I have just started omeprazole...question...did it give you headaches when you first started it? I am on day 7 of a migraine, and day 7 of starting this med. I haven't had a migraine like this in forever and it was just weird how it started as soon as I started taking the meds!! I am just interested to hear other peoples experiences! -Kimberli (advocate)
Seasonal, shellfish, and food sensitivity to tomato and sesame
I can relate to the tomato and sesame sensitivity! It is such a pain trying to figure out all the things that I am sensitive to though, because lately, it feels like everything 🙁 -Kimberli (advocate)
I have MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) but localized in my colon instead. I take Zyrtec and Famotidine for it daily.
Hope it helps and keep us posted on how it goes. I bet you are not the only person struggling with this exact issue and our readers would benefit from hearing about your journey with this. ~Katrina, Endometriosis.net Advocate Gosh, that's such an incredible observation you made there about that saying versus the reality. I read your words and they hit like a freight train. Thank you so much for sharing that. Sending you big gentle hugs today. 💛💛 Kayleigh, Endometriosis.net team
