Many members shared their experiences connecting fibromyalgia and endometriosis, with several describing how severe flares, burst cysts, or surgeries seemed to trigger or worsen their fibro symptoms. Several members found relief through hysterectomy or laparoscopic procedures that removed endometrial tissue, cysts, or adhesions, though some noted that fibro pain persisted even after addressing the endo. A recurring theme was the belief that both conditions may be linked through inflammation or immune dysregulation, with members encouraging each other to pursue diagnosis and treatment while acknowledging the complex, frustrating journey of managing overlapping chronic illnesses.

Been married 26yrs. We tried 5yrs before we had our son. We started immediately after he was born to have another. Couple of yrs later, no kid and we moved, I found a GYN that deals w/ infertility. Anyway, had a scope done and that is when he found the endo. Once he cleaned everything, we tried for a year to get pregnant and still no luck. Anyway, I have also believed and found a GYN that believes this is an inflammatory issue and can cause other issues. I only have one child but I feel blessed to be his mother. I am older now and still dealing w/ endo issues. Be glad to answer any other questions concerning this.
