Endometriosis PAIN

I would like to know the best solution from experience for curing Endometriosis pain... I can't sit still for more than two minutes and I am just miserable. It's been a problem for 8 years, I am 21. When I was younger I thought everyone was in constant pain but when I found out it was specific to a disease it made the pain feel even worse! Or it just simply got worse with time. I've had three labporoscopic surgeries, been on birth control for eight years and was told that getting pregnant or having a hysterechtomy were the only options to feel better. And my doctor and I are close to that point. I've also been told about Lupron... I would love to hear some feedback on your results. Stats are that I'm 21, 111, 5'5, extremely active with a healthy diet/large appetite.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO MANAGE ENDO PAIN??

I believe you. I was just telling the person who was giving the survey you cannot do a survey to get an accurate picture because there is only one choice you can choose. Like you say, no one way works for everyone and typically most people treat endo from many different angles. I am sorry you are in so much pain. I hope some day that you can find someone who can help.

What I meant was I have tried all if these methods over the 15yrs that I have had to deal with this disease. I take heavy meds morphine,methadone,felexeral and I am still in pain. Endo is different for every person though. I have friends that have no pain with their endo but masses the size of grapefruites taken out of them. I have friends that have very little pain and then there are others like me that no matter what you do you don't get relief.

There is no one best way to treat endo it is a multi-system (endocrine, reproductive, and immune)  disease which calls many different treatments. I do diet (no gluten, dairy, limit soy as much as possible, etc) supplements (vit d, iron, fish oil, turmeric, etc), lupron, pain meds (advil and tylenol) and ice packs (don't use heat as this will increase inflammation and make the endo worse in the long run) and I am planning to get some therapy for pelvic floor dysfunction.

I have had chronic pain for 15yrs now since I was 23 yrs old I have tried. EVERYTHING on your list. I have been pregnant and have 2 sons,lap surgery 3 times (one of those times also to cut thenerve endings to my uterus),lupon,hyterectomy,lots of pain meds over the years,diet and execise,hot packs never cold though and nothing has worked in the long term. Expt.the.pregnancy took away the pain for a whole year after tge baby was born and I didn't have endo pain when I was pregnant either just reg preg pains. But the pain did come back after the year was up but fir a whole year I had no pain with no pills or anything it was great.  I am still in constant pain now I had my hyterectomy last march and I am now once again without a dr cause doctors don't like to treat sick people unless they can get money out of it like a surgery or something. Well I am all surgeried out so no one wants to take this train m wreck on.
