Endometriosis causes constant nausea????

Hi everyone,
If you look at my previous posts you will see I've been sick with a huge list of symptoms the last 7months now. No one knows exactly what's wrong with me.

My worst symptom is living with constant nausea. But since becoming ill my period pain has  become unbearable. If I don't take painkillers I will throw up from the pain.

When  I was in the ER a gynocologist suggested I may have endometriosis, but didn't want to do a laparoscopy on me because its surgery. I took the pill she gave me for 3 weeks then stopped it because it made extremely ill. My doc told me never to go on the pill again because that's the 2nd time I  tried and had a serious side effect (including heavy bleeding that sent me to hospital),

So my question is, can endometriosis cause nausea that happens persistently all month and is at its worst during my periods? I also get severe diarehha/constipation, cramps, dizziness and migraines.

That's great please do :) I am everywhere online EndEndoForever so if you are looking for support from other Endosisters Twitter is a good place there are a ton. On here not many people come here just when they are looking for answers but there is a lot of support now on social networking.

Dr.Redwine can read your reports or photos on Endometropolis on Facebook he is a retired 30 yr veteran of this disease and he is there to answer questions he is amazing and you will get 100% facts from him which is what you want. There are too many watered down guesses about Endo so that is why so many Dr's and people are confused.

Thanks you so much for the information! Finally I'm at ease I will look back at my ultrasound results and request my records from my previous gyn doc to see what the two can compare. I will look up the info for the march. Thanks again. I will keep you updated.

haah no worries you are like me and that is a good thing. Most doctors and even ER doctors have no idea what Endo is and what problems could be because of it or the pain that it causes, so most of the time I need to educate them myself. Fibroids and Adeno def go hand in hand together. Did any of your ultrasound reports state that your uterus was enlarged? the only way to tell 100% if you have adeno is through a hyster unfortunately but the signs are there just like Endo. A good surgeon will know or have an idea.

The BCP has been my lifesaver and not just for Endo. It is the only thing that regulates my hormones however I have been breaking out like mad lately and that has not happened since I started them 7 yrs ago.

Make sure you get copies of your Ultrasound reports because they are very important to have because there have been times that they were looking at one thing and something else was detected but they ignore it because it has nothing to do with your complaint. For example I had an enlarged tube with blood around it. That was Endo however they had no idea in the ER so I was sent home. Brought that to the pain management clinic and I told her what it meant hahaha .. I am telling you most doctors don't have a clue about endo.

If interested not sure if you know about it or not there is a million woman march on March 13th 2013 all around the world but the big one is in DC. First one ever and we are going to be loud. So if interested look it up on Facebook to find a location close to you doing the march :)

I had surgrey in 2007 I had to have my right ovary and tube removed. I had my first laposcopic surg in 2001. I was DX with endo right after I had my daughter in 1998. I wasn't able to take the depo shot becasue I lost 2 inches of hair with the first shot and I gained so much weight. I have several differant types of cancer in my family and I'm afraid of the BC because of the hormone. I never tried to supress my periods or my ovulation this would be my first attempt with the embolization to supress the bleeding. I only have the severe pain when I have my periods or a week before. I'm going to do some research on the Adeno to see if that may be what I have.

The fibroids are new for me. I had severe pain one particular day and I fell to the floor and I wasn't able to move. By me working in the hospital with my doctors I was able to call and ask for a ultrasound and thats how I found out. I'm one of those patients that try to be a proactive and tell the doctor what needs to be done. LOL :-). But with this situation I'm stuck and clueless.  I will talk to the Dr before she preform my BX on monday.

The problem with a hyster is that it will not solve the problem with Endo. If your surgeon isn't skilled and excise the Endo it can come back, in fact it can come back regardless just at a slower pace with excision. If you have ever had ovarian disease (Endometrioma) I just became aware that even that can grow back as its different cell of Endo. I always assumed that if you excised the disease it would give you substantial relief as well as being on a BCP of some sort. I know for me it has helped a lot but many women can't take the pill or any form of HRT. For me it was a life saver literally.

Is it possible you have adenomyosis? A lot of women who have Fibroids and Endo often have Adeno and you are the right age for it.

Have you tried to the Endo diet to elevate some of the Endo symptoms? It is hard but I found it to help a little with pain but not all.

In my opinion I would have the procedure done. I am not a doctor I am only a patient who has suffered for 23 yrs. I have sat on the fence about a hyst since I was 30 and in the end it goes back to a 50/50 chance and that is with having a good surgeon. However many have found relief.

Have you ever been tested for any type of gluten allergy or celiac? I was tested but it came back negative but was positive for Wheat, spelt and Dairy intolerance.

Right now I am fighting for surgery myself and it is for a hyster. I had a PSN done (Presacral Neurectomy) and I don't feel like it helped and they say that if that didn't help I could possibly have Adeno as well. The continuous BCP for me has helped I am on Marvelon.

What have you tried to suppress your period and ovulation? How many surgeries have you had? Have you always had fibroids or is that a new thing? When was your last surgery?

I'm scheduled to have  laparoscopy along with embloization for fibroids on the 19th of this month for my endo. You seem to have a lot of knowledge about endo. Do you think it''s wise to have these procedures or just go head and remove the urterus? I'm so torn since Im only 35years old. I do not want anymore children I'm just scared. Now I'm experincing nausea and vomitting I can't eat anything without getting sick.
