Treatment

Here's an article that touches on treatment of endo. There's a huge difference between standard treatment and effective treatment. I'm hoping that effective treatment lies within my near future.
I was relieved to find a good description of endo pain, in words that I think will help people 'get' it.
The key phrase here is that "Endometriosis pain is on par with acute appendicitis." Appendicitis, ok? It's like, 'Lay me on a stretcher and carry me out of here' kind of pain. Please read the article for more information on treatment approaches.

Endometriosis pain is on par with acute appendicitis.  Patients develop peritoneal signs and symptoms, (bloating, acute abdominal pain, nausea, quiet bowel, sweating, paleness, sometimes fever, anxiety etc etc) something every medical student and nursing student has been well educated to look for in patients.  But in endo patients we can somehow say, “oh it’s just her period”.  If you think about the degree of pain associated with peritoneal inflammation, the least we can do is be sure that the patient has adequate pain relief until disease can be resolved.
