Now those of you have been on that long list of hormone therapies, surgeries &
sometimes whatever the Doc's are pulling out of there hats have probably, like me already turned to an alternative medicine to see if it has any use.
I myself have tried TCM but while I was on a GnRH analogue so we've never been entirely sure which one worked although the herbs I was prescribed certainly helped with the side effects of the treatment so in that I can say hand on heart they worked for me.
Whilst I have not been yet brave enough to go for acupuncture I have tired homeopathic & herbal remedies & still continue to use certain one's for PMS & the general annoying pains I get from my Endometriosis.
It really doesn't matter what "stage" of this disease you have, you still suffer, it's not
fair & it's certainly not something you've brought on yourself.
*Some of the Herbal Remedies I've tried over the years are; Chamomile, Peppermint, Feverfew, Yarrow, Chaste Tree, Valerian, Hops, Skullcap, Sage & also in the Homeopathic realm I've used Belladonna, Kali. Phos & New Era tissue salts for menstruation.
*If you want to try any of these please consult with your G.P or local Herbalist first.
In no way am I encouraging you to abandon your treatment's or usual medicine but instead am just putting it out there that there are always alternative's even if to just help with side effects or improve your overall health.
Give herbs a shot, they were around first after all :-)
Remember there's always support available to us, a light at the end & always always there's hope.
