Endometriosis

  Endometriosis is a hard condition to live with, but it doesn't have to be as hard as it is; with the right products (for each individual person, these products will be different), it can be made a lot more manageable. These are the products I use that I find to make my periods and endometriosis a lot more bearable to live with. 1.) tens machine: a tens machine, also called a  transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation machine, sends  mild electric currents through to some areas of the skin. I find this helpful because it distracts my brain from the pain I feel from my endo. 2.) period underwear: period underwear doesn't give you pad rash, and I find it fits more comfortably thought-out the day, making it easy to forget you are bleeding. 3.) bubble baths: not only are bubble baths relaxing, but the heat can really help to relieve pain. 4.)

Have you tried hot water bottle/ibuprofen/yoga/keto? When will you start trying for children.  Didn’t surgery cure you? I get cramps too.  You’re too young to be sick Mind over matter just think positively.  My daughter, friend. etc has that and she's fine There are so many more but those are the ones that really get to me.  Let me know which you hate hearing the most in the comments. 

As an Endometrisoisis suffer i am no stranger to debilitating pain on a consistent basis, because of this i have found a few things that work for me and i am going to share my must-have endometriosis items.   castor oil pack-  now these are super easy to make and i actually have a tutorial on my youtube channel on how to make one  click to go to the video . i love these because they actually help reduce my bloating if i catch it in time. electric blanket-  now i don't mean the ones that you put under the sheets on your bed i mean the ones you take with you on the couch and plug into the powerpoint, they are also known as heating pads in America.    coffee-  i do know this doesn't help everyone but for me at least when i get really crampy and its that kind of pain you get with bowel endometriosis that is so painful but you can't physically go  (if you know then you know)  coffee helps me get things moving  *TMI*  and he...
