Endometriosis help-Trying to support someone

I’m very new to this world. Trying to support my son’s girlfriend. She’s had problems since a teenager. 24 now. Had laporoscopy last year which hasn’t helped. She’s NC with her mum and lives with her dad. She’s on her second referral now. No one to advocate for her except my son. She’s worn out by it all. Takes Naproxin. Has a Tens machine and constant hot water bottles. Pain in her legs too. Can only work part time. Her appetite is very poor and she’s underweight. Dr tried to fit Mirena coil last month which was a disaster and traumatised her. She’s in a couple of online support groups which helps.
what can I do practically and emotionally to support her. Btw we live 150 miles away!
Thanks everyone
