- I feel like my life has literally been flipped upside down.These past 8 weeks have been chaos, as I finally came to terms with the truth of my rape, which was almost a year and a half ago now. It's been absolutely crazy. But also confusing. I began...
- Hey everyone.Ever since I had my "realization" of what happened I have been unable to sleep. Most nights I have really horrible nightmares, other nights I either have panic attacks falling asleep, wake up with a panic attack in the middle of the...
- 15 months ago I was raped. As I wrote that sentence, I know at my core that it's the truth, but to actually write or speak that sentence, I feel like I have to disconnect as though I'm speaking of a fictional event. I don't understand that. This...
- Question...I'm having a bit of a rougher time recovering from this lap than my first one. They did more this time, so it makes sense, but I'm having some anxiety about a particular pain that I'm having and just wondered if anyone else has...
- Well, I did it. I'm two days post op now. Turns out there was more endo in new places (rectum, left cul de sac area, and left side of bladder). But apparently my organs are still all in good shape :) But anyway, I just wanted to post this update...
- Really. I don't know why but I just really, really don't feel like dealing with endo anymore (because I'm clearly a mature adult). I mean I know that nobody WANTS to have anything to do with endo, but I've never felt so "I don't want to deal with...
- I'm sure this is a tired topic, but I'm struggling a bit and I need to talk (or at least vent) to people who understand.Anyway, after multiple notions of encouragement from my doctor, I finally sucked it up and scheduled my second laparoscopy. I had...
- I'm sort of posting to rant, but I also want to know how you all deal with the stress of this disease...I feel like I constantly shift between two modes: I'm either being attentive and very conscious of my endo/IC/PFD (being aware of symptoms, diet,...
- I had an appointment with my new doctor today (same practice, but new doctor since my previous doctor left the practice). And it was actually great. She was very thorough and really listened everything I said and was sure to answer all of my...
- So, I've posted about this before...This time last year, actually, I posted asking about other people's experience with bleeding and pain with exercise and a couple of you suggested polyps. I had an ultrasound shortly after which didn't show any...
- Last night I woke up in the middle of the night in excruciating pain, drenched in sweat. It felt like severe menstrual cramps, comparable to the pain I've had with my period before I had my laparoscopy. When I tried to stand up to get some ibuprofen...
- For the past couple of years my BC has been great. I would take four packs in a row and get a period every three months if I took it at the exact same time. The past three months my period comes by the end of every new pack, regardless of taking my...
- What exactly are the symptoms of anemia?How quickly can you develop that from heavy and/or prolonged bleeding?I am trying to figure out if I am just sick or if that could be a possibility. I had that long, heavy period situation that just ended a...
- I've been trying to overlook this because I'm not ready to deal with any endo issues head on right now as I am about to start my spring semester with a very intense course load and my school is hours away from my reproductive endocrinologist. I was...
- Does endo definitely come back? Do we always need to go for a second (or third, or fourth) lap?I've been thinking a lot about this lately... I was diagnosed and had my first lap at 18, and while I am still young, I know without a doubt that I want...
