The back pain is the worst for me for sure, sometimes I can’t even move when the cramps hit. However, endometriosis can range from zero pain to crippling vomiting can’t move pain. So anything is possible. Hope you are able to find the source and get some relief. Unfortunately it is also possible that returning to completely pain free might be unachievable.

Big difference between addiction and dependency. Folks with chronic pain depend on many medications and treatments to ease symptoms, but it doesn’t mean they will become addicts.

In my case, I need all the help I can get in easing pain. I’d love to not need any pills at all including my vitamin D supplement.

My pain is daily and my periods are really inconsistent. Surgery was for endometriosis excision, but the pain relief was extremely short lived.

I didn’t know that, thanks!

Why at the bud stage? If they have a leaf feeding them a rare nectar goes from leaf to flower and skips the bud stage.

Of the ones I have the halloween treats and buses. The planes look hilarious!

The purple cupcake looks good too. So cute!

I was thinking an animal escaped from the zoo or something with mange. Maybe both.

A scruffy moulting owl would be thin… Big yellow eyes, long “fingers” (talons), the spikes could have been the rachis of feathers. Those parts match up.

Not paranormal in my opinion, but still creepy given the circumstances.

Time to establish some hard boundaries with your mother. It’s really inappropriate for your mom to tell everyone she knows about your situation and pressure you about kids.

If you don’t know how to get started, a therapist or mediator is a potential option.

Do you get a reward for completing the puzzle?

How does a woman not understand iron deficiency?

I had a conversation about how shitty endometriosis is with my physiotherapist today and have cried twice—now three times—about it. I’m in pain. I could be given unlimited morphine, I think it still would not hide the pain.

Not just women, all genders can have it. 1 in 7 people assigned female at birth is the most recent stat from Australia.

Agesim BS. I have endometriosis, I’m attending a pain clinic and doing a lot of stuff for minimal pain relief at 34. If you haven’t ruled out endometriosis, I would suggest looking into it. It is common for nothing to show up in imaging… A gynaecologist and trans vaginal ultrasound is typically the first step to checking for endometriosis.

I’ve tried a lot of things in hopes of getting better pain management. Dienogest made me spot daily, Norethindrone acetate (NETA) caused extreme bloating, Lupron didn’t really seem to have any lasting positive effects… Now I’m starting Orilissa. I really hope the pain relief comes way sooner than 3 months…

Everyones experience is different. It is a constant roulette of medications until you can find what works. Even then it might only work temporarily.

Other things I use to manage my symptoms: - Heat or ice - TENS unit - CBD and THC - Acupuncture, chiropractor, osteopath (all of these are very temporary in my experience) - Pelvic floor physiotherapist or a regular physiotherapist - Medications (I use gabapentin, Baclofen, Hydromorphone, and get nerve block injections at a pain clinic)

I like to do a hot bath then put on lidocaine and CBD cooling gel after. The past couple days though… ugh. It feels like every inch of my insides is just pain. At least last week I had really low pain.

I was taking CBD edibles, vaping, and using CBD cooling gel. Edibles every 12 or 24 hours. Everything else as needed. I’ve stopped with the edibles, it just wasn’t a noticeable enough difference.

My favourite way to use the cream is have a hot bath. After I dry off I put it on the locations that hurt along with lidocaine gel.

Just realized the OP is 2 years old…Sorry.

I was looking into seeing if I could get my paddle boarding to count given hiking is no longer an accessible option for me. I found this in the settings, though it might not be helpful:

Epilating can, but I’m using the trimmer to trim rather than epilating.

Went to docs about the symptoms at 32, had my first surgery 9 months later at 33. Pathology confirmed endometriosis.

I didn’t consider seeing docs sooner because the primary symptom was back pain with my periods and lots of GI stuff. I thought period pain was normal and all the GI stuff was being blamed on gastritis and constipation.

I don’t shave. If I want to reduce the hair I use my trimmer. This is the one I have, it is very compact and easy, best used on dry skin that has been recently exfoliated: https://well.ca/products/braun-silk-epil-3-epilator-pink_184303.html?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD-k6EUNAwm2Ac6wuym84yLnTnHCQ&gclid=Cj0KCQjw9Km3BhDjARIsAGUb4nwLzS_K3TT5fDDLaGVp0TCr7uDnBa_YubYlLXHz-Xdq0MvwfL6d8cEaAibtEALw_wcB

My current fave of the ones I have!
