My endometriosis story: part 3
So if you’ve been following my story, I’m currently going through a massive flare-up of my endometriosis. I had a laparoscopy 13 years ago and not encountered much pain since due to dietary changes and changing lots of lifestyle factors. However the last couple of months crippling pain has returned. Specifically around my right ovary.
I have heard a lot about castor oil and my fertility massage tutor raved about them. I recommend them to a lot of my patients who have fibroids, cysts and endometriosis. Due to this, I thought I better give them a go and practice what I preach.
I did 5 days in a row of castor oil last month to see if it made any difference to my pain. The month before I was in complete agony. Couldn’t move for 2 days. Reaching for paracetamol and tramadol every hour.
Well … I’m happy to report this month was so much better … the discomfort didn’t completely go but I only took one paracetamol. It was niggly and I could feel it but the pain was a 5/10 instead of an 8/10. So I will take that as a win. I will definitely be continuing my castor oil journey.
Let me know if you have given it a go and if it’s worked for you.
