One of the most common symptoms women feel with endometriosis is pain, light or severe. Lortab is a common drug used to manage pain. This is normal, however, keep in mind that Lortab is a scheduled substance and is an addictive medication, physically and mentally. Caution should be used when taking this medication. If you have concerns about it, consult your prescribing doctor.
If the woman is 65, she has had endometriosis for decades. At 65, she would be post menopausal. Endometriosis symptoms flare up with normal monthly cycles in women. If she no longer has normal cycles - and at 65 she shouldn't - why do anything at all? The time to treat endometriosis has passed by that age.
Some pain and swelling is also normal; the doctor will usually prescribe a pain-killing medication to be taken for a few days.

Yes it is normal because shingles follow a certain nerve pattern leaving numbness to the skin. Your doctor hopefully has given you medication to help get over the shingles faster. If not please see a skin specialist or your family doctor.
If you have been diagnosed with hypertension (consistently high blood pressure) and have been put on antihypertensive medication, discontinuing it without a doctor's supervision could cause the hypertension to recur, or even cause an episode of malignant hypertension, which can be life-threatening. If your blood pressure is consistently below normal, notify your doctor so he can adjust your medication if needed.
The best way is to go on the endometriosis diet. This involves figuring out which foods aggravate the problem and learning to avoid them. Some of these foods include alcoholic beverages, dairy products, and red meat.
Getting heartburn every time you eat is not normal. There is a condition called GERD which can be controlled by medication. I suggest you see your doctor.
