How do you manage endometriosis pain on a daily basis? Any tips or remedies that have worked for you?

I have stage 4 endo and I noticed changing my diet has helped immensely. I cut out caffeine which was hard since I was an avid coffee drinker! Limiting dairy really helped too. After feeling the relief of the changes I don’t miss those foods! Increasing my daily activity helped too.

I was put on the combined contraceptive pill permanently this means I don’t have periods at all which has definitely helped. When I used to get what I called the white hot pain I used to get my husband to sit on my back while I lent over a stool.. bit odd but it helped so then I got a curved piece of wood to simulate the same effect when I was sitting working, basically every time the pain hit I would press hard into the wood against my chair and it would have the same feeling. Also coq10 enzyme (boots) helps with energy to cope with the pain and fatigue

I have been gluten and dairy free for the past year and it has helped soo much with daily painful bloating. I have also started to change my workout routine and stopped doing intense cardio and switched it out for weightlifting and yoga. I also started to use different forms of pain management after i got an ucler from taking too much ibuprofen. I swear by the Lila's pain patches they really help with light pain days and bloating. Also using weed edibles when I can instead of taking painkillers. But even doing all of this I did still have a laparoscopy this past summer.

Ok so update on pain management… I have been told that gynae waiting lists could be a year so I am now looking on eBay for a cheap hot tub as when I am in hot water my symptoms are eased massively… the idea of having a hot tub has always seemed crazy posh to me but hey if I have to cope for a year before I’m even seen let alone helped then crazy posh hot tub it is!!!!!
