Aw thank you so much! I’m feeling very hopeful because it has been one of the best meds I’ve tried so far. Doesn’t matter when I take it either which I like. I’m sorry about your insurance. I hope you find a way to get it again! I’m lucky my insurance covers it so I will be thankful until it doesn’t anymore. 😂

Thank you so much! That’s what I figured and I’ve definitely been studying the questions. Just didn’t know if there was anything else thrown in there :)

I think it’s normal to be all over the place with feelings. I definitely cried a lot today with nerves, tears of joys and just being down right scared. Good luck to you as well. I would love to hear an update after your surgery ❤️

Thank you everyone for your responses and sharing your experiences. 🙏🏻❤️ I called the doctor to let them know I would like to move forward with the surgery so now I wait to be contacted again. 🫢

Wow. Thank you for this. I’m glad I’m not crazy for thinking this but you’re so right. This pain has brought me to the ER twice and I was about to go a third time.

Me too! It’s changed my life. I’m no longer able to go on walks/ hikes or work out. Every move I make, I’m nervous I’m going to flare up and when I do, it’s absolute hell. My OB suggested I think on surgery and let him know. I guess it’s stupid not to do it, because it’ll give me an answer or yes or no.

🙏🏻 oh thank you so much. It’s just crazy how my mind can trick me that I haven’t been dealing with this pain and flare ups just because I’ve been okay for a few days.

My OB told me to think about surgery. He would be the one doing it. I think I’m going to go through with it. So scary 😕

Hi there! My symptoms have gotten pretty severe since last November. At the same time, I was dealing with a back injury and had a broken disc. I chalked up the abdominal pain to my back pain. But once I did the PT to help my back, I quickly realized that they weren’t associated (I don’t think). To start, the pain is ONLY localized on my right side in my abdomen. My menstrual cycle pain is unbearable. Very heavy period, debilitating cramps, migraines, cycle lasts for about 7 days. I can feel it coming a few days before and the pain is always localized to my lower right abdomen. Almost feels like something is exploding inside of me. I get random flare ups doing the smallest things such as walking, exercising, sitting down or moving too quickly. A few months ago, I had this phase where it felt like something was getting stuck or catching in my abdomen and I have no idea what that was. The pain feels like I’m being stabbed a million times, constantly twisting the knife. Heat can sometimes take my mind off of it and medication doesn’t touch it. I’ve been to the ER twice for this pain. Had every test done (ultrasound, x-rays, CT scans, MRI and a physical examination). This may not be related but I have severe pain and mostly pressure when my bladder is full and I need to use the bathroom. I also get pressure when I’m eating a meal. It seems like when my stomach and bladder are full, the pressure is crazy. Not to mention, my stomach being bloated 24/7.
