When I first started experiencing the unpleasant symptoms of my disorders, I was just happy to finally be have a name put on my condition. I no longer felt crazy and ignored.
However, endometriosis can create other problems. Most women with endometriosis have other medical conditions, whether worsened by endo or not. For example, I also live with Interstitital Cystitis (IC) and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction (PFD). I was also diagnosed with IC and PFD before Endometriosis.
The following is a list of medical conditions that women with endometriosis also live and suffer from:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Chronic Fatigue
- Fibromyalgia
- Headaches/Migraines
- Nausea
- Eating Disorders
- Interstitial Cystitis
- Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome
- Addison's Disease
- Fowler's Syndrome
- Adenomyosis
- Kidney Reflux
- Hypothyroidism
- Diabetes
- Hip Impingement
- Trapped psoas muscle
I hurt everyday, but not
all of my symptoms are endometriosis. Please don't just assume that what
you are feeling is endometriosis pain or symptoms because you finally
feel that you were given a name for your condition. If you still have unexplainable symptoms, please talk to your doctor or specialist.
