Being operated on is a lot better than endometriosis tho. After it's done you'll feel so much relief
But, it isn't the permanent cure. Besides, I've exams & I want to get outta this town ASAP & find a job.
I'm just worrying bcz I've my second appointment with the surgeon tomorrow. I hope it's better at least a lil.
I am sure it will be
my gf is also very hesitant on getting sth done but evertime she gets bad cramps etc. I'm lik 20 seconds away from calling an ambulance
If it's the same for you, please don't do that to yourself
Actually, my emotional pain is everyday so much that it numbs my emotional one... I mean, I can bear...
Please urge her to get a full body checkup.
I've done this 50 times, were in a bad situation and it's not easy. Try getting hydrophobe to swim kind of thing
You already made the first step tho
go for it
I've hydrophobia but I look forward to seeing a psychiatrist in the future. Thanks for suggestion.
Yup. My parents finally listened to me. I've known for last few years that something was wrong with me bcz I used to be really healthy.
it's only recognized kinda recently yeah its shocking
Yeah, it takes a few or more years to develop.
same here, very active and then depression and blowing up, drastically worse medical situation
my I ask how did you get your diagnosis?
Yeah, specifically after quarantine, I believe I became like this also because I ain't able to go out or have anyone in real life.
I used to get severe period cramps. I had my first ultrasound done 8-9 months ago, and it was normal. Then, three months ago, I had a bad stomachache for more than 24 hours. I had another ultrasound, and they found a large hemorrhagic ovarian cyst (which was obviously a wrong result because we were in a hurry and went to any diagnostic center we could find available). My mother and I argued with my father to take me to the surgeon as my gynecologist suggested, but he didn't listen, so I had to seek our homeopathic family doctor. My third ultrasound was done last month, and we found it was actually severe endometriosis, and it kept increasing. We finally saw my surgeon. She comforted us; earlier, there was even a risk of cancer, but thank God the CA-125 result came back normal.
people really don't know how to operate ultrasounds do they?
I explained this much, so I hope your girlfriend will also try to take it seriously because I always did. I wanted to get my MRI/CT scan done years ago because I started having period cramps suddenly; I didn't get them before. But my parents didn't listen me or believed that something like this can happen with me. They still don't believe.
Just choose the best diagnostic center in your area.
we're moving to a better area in a couple weeks I hope all gets better there
Yep, take care of her, good luck. Period pain is not normal.
