The acupuncturist recommended me ginger tea for the pain and it really does help. The first day of my cycle was awful and I had to come earlier from work because I couldn’t bear staying a minute more. I still don’t know how I drove back home. The following days I could manage the pain with ginger tea, Red Raspberry leaves and warm water bags.
I also have been trying to avoid foods and drinks that can make endometriosis worse, but it is really hard. Almost everything I like affects estrogen. This web site is very informative with you want to start an endometriosis diet: http://www.endo-resolved.com/diet.html
I eliminated almost everything from my diet, except for bread, cheese and wine. How can a woman live without these?
The year is almost ending and a new year always brings hope that everything will be different. I can’t wait for the turn of the year and forget how crazy this year was. Drugs, infertility, surgery and pain shall be in my past.
My New Year’s resolution: exercise more and don’t give up in finding a way to make my endo symptoms disappear.
Wishing you all a great 2012!
