SEPTEMBER-PAIN AWARENESS MONTH

Hey Loves,

 For the people who aren't aware, September is Pain Awareness Month. This means that this month celebrates and relates to almost every health condition there is. Pain awareness month is a great way to get the word out about how discomfort affects our day to day lives. Many of us in the #endometriosis community do this with many of our posts. I am very happy to see that other communities are doing the same. So spoonies, have you made a #painawareness post? 

FDA APPROVES ENDOMETRIOSIS TREATMENT-NEW MEDICATION APPROVED FOR TREATMENT OF ENDOMETRIOSIS

   

     New medication approved for endometriosis. It's basically a version of lupron. Yet it's in pill form. The name is elagolix, and it's a major advancement for medical physicians and patients suffering from endometriosis. A study was conducted where participants experienced a decrease in endometriosis symptoms. Ranging from daily pain to, pelvic pain, non menstrual pain, and pain with intercourse. The elagolix company stated that it can cause a decrease in bone density. Which makes this medication very similar to lupron. Comment and let me know if you've heard of it or were apart of the study.
