Hiya my names Alison but you can call me Ali or Princess lol
I was diagnosed with endometriosis on the 18th of November by Laparoscopy. I have been suffering for about a year however my GP had sent me to a GI Dr and thought that I may have Crohns or Celiac Disease, well 2 Endoscopies, 1 Colonoscopy, HIDA scan, CT scan, Ultrasound of my pelvis and abdomen and various bloods and other lovely samples I decided that I would take myself to the gyno where I was told to have a Laparoscopy and a dye test and well here I am.
I have gone today to discuss the findings and treatment, I have an early stage of Endo and on the dye test one of my tubes the dye couldn't make it up however my Dr says he isn't too worried as it didn't look diseased or whatnot. I will be given injections as treatment and keeping as good diet as possible.
I am turning 26 on Wednesday (4th of Dec)
So anyways I'm British, married and currently living in the states. I'm really friendly and a little crazy and I love: make up, Halloween, baking cakes ( I have my own little business) and hanging with friends
XOXO

Thank you!!! I'm a qualified Make up artist and beauty therapist but currently I'm a housewife that does cakes on the side, mostly just as a hobby but also it never hurts to have a little extra shopping money! ))

I didn't know where to write this but I've just been woke up with such intense pain that I started screaming and crying, woke my husband up. It was like someone had grabbed hold of not only the lower part of my tummy but the sides too and the lower portion of the top of my tummy, and started twisting them and stabbing a knife in at the same time. I needed the loo and it took me a few attempts too swing my self out of bed because the pain was just incredible.
Still hurts now but not as bad.
I know over Christmas I've hardly been an angel with my eating and last night I had some Chicken nuggets and 3 slices of pizza. Maybe it aggravated it, might need to go on a cleanse and healthy eating plan.
Was the worst pain I've ever felt and I have a good pain tolerance. It sounds dramatic but if my husband would of said he would call an ambulance I would of nearly agreed but what's the point?
I'm going to call my Dr on Monday too make my first Lupron Depo injection appointment and I'm going to ask the receptionist to pass a MSG on to him.
Since surgery my pain has gotten worse, it kinda went away for about two weeks... Well other than the surgery pain and painful period. However it then started back up and all over the holidays I was in pain.
Anyways I just wanted to tell you guys xx

That sucks but can understand the pain after my surgery my hubby came home to find me on bedroom floor trying to get on bed crying for hours it seemed
Try a hot pack to ease the pain i know it may not make it disappear but it may make it bearable

kind of sounds like a cyst... That's what finally led me to getting a diagnosis were the cysts bursting. I went to the ER the one time and my tube had filled up with blood and that's why it hurt so freaking bad. They can be quite painful (screaming painful) when they burst. Anyways, HI and sorry it took so long to say Welcome to the board! I have been working full time and have been trying to keep up, love, love, love the cake! I do cakes as well in my spare time but yours is beautiful!

Omak: Lordy I hope it's not a cyst, it's been sore most the day but obv being a Saturday the Gyno aren't open. I'm seriously going to at least leave a MSG with my Dr, hopefully he will call me. Just never ever felt anything like it in my life. That's fab you make cakes too!!! I enjoy doing them, good to take my mind off stuff Thank you for the compliment ) Nibs: I will, I went through the day with nothing however I did have a warm shower. Pain meds just don't touch my pain, think I need bloody morphine lol It's been nearly 2 months after surgery now :/
