Att: David regarding Endometriosis _{Page 4 of 13}

Hi David,

Just a few things. Feeling really congested in the nose. I've had to use my nasal spray the last couple of nights. Just can't breathe. I'm also waking up with really sore back. Found out yesterday on my xray that I have arthritis in my back and my spine is bending to the right. So I have some structural issues there too. I have had an X-ray 2yrs ago and I did not have arthritis back than. So a new issue.

I've still got brown discharge and no period yet and I am losing more of my hair agaib now. Basically feeling really crap today inside and out. Could my hormones be changing

My hips aren't sore though or my tummy area

Hi David, sorry to bother you on Xmas eve, your probably not working. But I got my period late arvo yesterday, I took some natural pain killers to help but this morning my flow is quite heavy and red. Do you think I need to take another dose. I'm trying to avoid naprogesic, but I may have to result to it cause I'm in pain on my back and just the pressure is making me weak.

Also is losing a lot of hair an aggravation? Will it calm down again you think?

I took it on the 11th of this month....still feeling really achy and weak

Thanks David, have taken it fingers crossed now!

Just wanted to take this opportunity to say merry Xmas and a happy new year. Thanks so much for all your help this year with my son and me and for getting our health back to shape for the new year!

Hi David,

Have been really sore this period, had to take pain killers all weekend actually. I'm actually in a lot of pain today. Period is drying up so i have ibrown discharge at the moment. My back, hips and ovaries are all really sore.
I'm feeling really tired and lazy and just don't have much strength. I took a dose on Xmas eve, but didn't find much relief. Still had to take naprogesic.

Where to from here?

Hi David,

Still feeling really achy all over and really lethargic. My back feels like it wants to break. Do you think it's time for the stronger dose?

Thanks

Hi David,

Sorry your not going to be happy with me, but yesterday I was in pain all day and by the night I had a dose of the 1M. Anywho I'm still feeling really bad today. My back is just so sore. My ovaries are tender and painful, I have leg cramps. My nose is so congested when I wake up. I had really bad dreams last night. I'm just a mess.

I've gone backwards again. The pain is unbearable and I just feel really sad and down.

This is what happens to me when I'm in so much pain, I don't think clearly and start taking all the natural vitamins I can take to feel better, except in the end I don't even feel any better.

I'm still in a lot of pain from my endo and back. But i guess I just need to stick it out now.

Wil try to be patient in the new year, the pain just takes over sometimes and I feel like digging a big hole and getting into it.

Hope I haven't caused any further damage. I feel terrible

Hi David,

Just writing up my progress here so I can keep track. yesterday late afternoon I had clear discharge and today clear discharge too. So again not sure if it's ovulation or not, i know last time I had clear discharge mid month too. So not sure when I am ovulating, mid month or earlier.

But overall I am feeling a whole heap better today than yesterday. Hope this continues.

All the best for the NY!

Hi David,

So I woke up with a really sore back, had to put some ice gel cause it was pretty sore. But through out the day I've been getting pain on my right ovary traveling down my right left. It's been bothering me all day. Im guessing that I am ovulating

I'm feeling really sore all over today. My back is really bad....im off to the chiro today. I can't even move my neck, I was so congested on my left nostril....I had to use a nasal spray cause I just couldn't breathe with the humidity last night. My ovaries and legs are really tender and achy.
My breast are also tender.
And I'm feeling really negative too...thinking that I can't live with this on and off pain forever.

What do you think David? Just not finding much relief

Oh really I didn't know that. I thought it was better than medication.

Well the aim is to start exercising, homeopath medicine to kick in and stop chiro anyway.

David, is it okay to take a multi vitamin, fish oil and magnesium while on homeopathy medicine. I find that it helps me. Am I suppressinOra's well or is it purely nutrients that I'm having?

Thanks

I'm back to feeling really bad today, the chiro didn't give me much relief anyway. My right ovary is really sore, I've never really had pain on my right, it's always been my left. So not sure why. I actually feel like I'm getting really worse, more so than I was on Sepia now. My back is just so bad, I am living on ice gel every morning so that I can move.....I literally can not move in the morning.

But what worries me is all this pain I'm feeling around my right ovary and uterus (from the ovulation perhaps) I had really sore bowel movements this morning. I'm just worried that i either have a new cyst on my right ovary which I've never had before or my endo has just gotten worse.

This is what happens when my hormones are out of whack.

I'm not even sure if this is an aggravation, it feels like it is lasting to long with no improvement. This reminds me of a time just before I went in hospital cause of my left ovary having a cyst.

I will have to take some pain relief...I can't barely look after my son.

Would you like me to go through that whole list I did last time or just the symptoms that I have present?

Update on me.
So last Wednesday (4th Jan) when I was in a lot of pain with my back and right ovary. I ended up taking some magnesium and calcium/vitamin d instead of pain killers and started to feel better. I haven't had pain on my right ovary since Wednesday morning. My back however is still an issue.

I find it very hard to write about myself somehow David as Endo symptoms come and go. I could have a few hours of the day where I feel on top of the world and than something hits me around my waist down or my back and my mood changes again. So it’s very hard to say I improved when it’s on and off. I guess for me improvement is when the symptoms go away all together. But I understand this takes times.

So here are the current symptoms

Menstruation - still had brown discharge for 3 days before period arrived. My period even arrived 3 days early. On the 3rd day I still needed to take naprogesic because of the pain. And I also had to take pain relief on the 5th or 6th day too. Had a lot of pressure around the uterus area. Very lethargic and weak. My period lasted 7 days. No improvement on my last cycle

Back pain - mid back, shoulders and neck really sore. If not worse than before. Unbearable. Feels like my back wants to break. Have also found out I have degeneration of the bone. Find improvement with magnesium and calcium/ vitamin d and also ice gel Wake up every morning with a lot of pain. Gets better after vitamins or ice gel and moving around. Waking up in the morning is so exhausting feeling like you just wants to break

Lower back – I still have lower back pain during period pain and ovulation pain. But not waking up with lower back pain

Leg cramps - did get some pain during ovulation and just before period arrived.

Ovulation - a lot of pain on my right ovary and uterus. It's normally my left ovary that is so painful, so it was different this month. Also really achy all over body. Tummy sore. Sore during bowel motion too.

Pain after sexual intercourse - had a lot of pain last week - my back and right ovary and uterus. Feels tender around that area and achy body, not directly after intercourse but the next day.

Hair - was shedding a lot when I first took dose but has slowed down now.

Acne - my face is looking better, had an out break before but looking okay now.

Nose gets blocked sleeping on left side - has gotten worse than before. Wakes me up during the night. Need to take nasal spray to go back to sleep. The humidity in Sydney has been really bad lately; I was like this last year as well when I was pregnant.

Nose gets blocked at change of season - worse

Constant worrying - this has improved, but still worrying about my health and my sons

Pimples around the side of the chin – this has improved

Breast tenderness – improved. But still get during cycle and ovulation

Bloated stomach – my stomach has been bloated lately, I think it’s because my bowel motions has gone a little harder. Not sure if it’s from having magnesium or calcium.

Pressure around uterus/ovaries – Got worse during ovulation and period

Nausea – improved

Prolonged bleeding – period lasted 7 days

Hemorrhoids that bleed – same, they still occasional bleed. I think it’s from my stool now being hard instead of loose

Loose stool during menses – better in terms of them not being loose but I’m now finding that my stool have gotten a lot harder. Not sure if it’s from the magnesium or other vitamins. But I’m feeling a bit backed up and bloated from it

Hi David,

I've had a bit of show of my period today ....according to my calculations. I started spotting on the 21st dec, so i should be due tomorrow. So I guess it's come a bit closer to my due date. I'm feeling okay for now.

Will keep you posted

Thanks venessa
