About the Event
Each month we focus on a different aspect of endometriosis and this month we're talking about managing pain. Pain Management is more than just pain meds! During this chat we will explore:
- what endometriosis is and how it causes pain
- the different types of pain and how to distinguish between them
- the types of pain medications that can help for each cause
- how to take your pain medicines to be most effective and cause the least side effects
- an holistic approach to pain management
- what lifestyle changes can help with pain management
- what support is available?
Whether you suspect you have endometriosis, are newly diagnosed, or have been living with this condition for a while this evening chat will be great for you at any stage of your endometriosis journey. Or you could have someone in your life who suspects they have endometriosis or is diagnosed and you want to learn more about endometriosis treatments.
There will be an opportunity to have your questions answered, even if these aren't related to the topic of treatment options.
