Is anybody managing Endometriosis well?

Question

I have Thoracic Endometriosis....meaning it has now attached to my lung, its agonising everytime I have a period.
I am going to try different contraceptive pills to see if they can ease things.
Has anybody tried one that has worked for them?

Answer 1

I have symptoms at times on my lungs that make me wonder about whether or not I have endo there. Especially a huge problem in that area in 2005 that came from out of nowhere. I had a period in Jan of 2006 and it cleared up the symptoms.

I find that being on the pill along with surgery and a medication called Zoladex has helped me with my endometriosis.

I have the link to a site where you can talk to other women with endometriosis to find out what some of them are doing (including alternative treatments). It's at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ERC

Let the moderators know that someone from Yahoo Answers referred you to the group site.

Answer 2

sorry to hear youre going through this i know its horrible ive got chronic pid which is similar but in my tubes/ovaries, its recently got worse and developed into something more serious which the nurses dont even know yet. if you speak to your gp they can tell you about the pills out there which can help with your problem. i hope it gets sorted soon. good luck
