Hi all, I have no idea how this works as I’m new but I’m becoming increasingly, you could say depressed, over my health recently. I was told I had PID last year, and I was treated effectively. Since then my period have been so so so heavy it stops me leaving the house, I am in chronic pain during my cycle. I also get a horrible pain on my ovulation day. I’ve been experiencing chronic tonsillitis (at least once a month) and my immune system is really weak. I have had persistent lower back pain for years now that won’t go away and I’ve started having a lot of headaches (front of head). I was told at my PID check up that I have a retroverted uterus and I am just becoming so upset and overwhelmed with everything going on and I was wondering if anyone has had this combination of issues and what it may be. I am going to see a doctor but it would be nice to have someone who may have suffered with this too? I’ve done the bad thing of googling symptoms and it’s come up with endometriosis and I just don’t know what to do.
