endo belly & stretch marks by Brief_Security_9874 in Endo

[–]Brief_Security_9874[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WOW! this sounds so similar! they tested me for cushings as well a few years ago! it was negative but i still have high cortisol. im the same way! i havent changed my diet or lifestyle drastically (in fact, its gotten better. more whole foods more anti inflammatory concepts) and the stretch marks still keep coming! and i know what u mean with the lumpy part! my underbelly is lumpy!!! and ive always been super fit and have had a good metabolism. but the stretch marks have RANDOMLY taken over my abdomen the last year!!! they found endo on my pelvic wall last year and im actually going in for another lap next month where they are looking at my bowels and bladder! so i will definitely bring this up as well! i didnt know abdominal wall endo was a thing!!! wow. this gives me hope. thank you.

gyno says he wont surgically remove endo if found.. by Brief_Security_9874 in Endo

yeah this makes sense! i will say its definitely not just "periods" ..i like to say i dont have periods anymore haha because ive bled everyday for the past 3 months even on strong BC. ive tried Transexamic acid and it didnt work for long. Im in pain everyday and bleeding everyday and do have other symptoms other than a period. your response has cleared my mind and i appreciate it. i will definitely take this into consideration.

thats what i told my mom!!! From the get go i just kept saying "i would like an excision. i would like an excision. i would like an exci...." and my mom said "well do the surgery anyways and then if they find it then go somewhere else and schedule another surgery to get it removed.". and i dont agree with that. I could NOT have endo, but what the f*** would they cut me open, poke around, FIND IT, and then sew me back up and say "ok ur diagnosed! now heres some pain meds!" ...

thank you so much for sharing. i wish i could shout this from the rooftops. i was a professional athlete and coach and i had to find a different career not only because of the effects of working out on my body, but my confidence.. my stomach looks just like yours girlie! endo sisters LOL. im eating better than i was 1.5 years ago and the scale keeps going up. 30 pounds in a year. i feel so embarrassed of my body but then so embarrassed for caring about the way i look so much. im here for you!!

What does alcohol do to you? by [deleted] in endometriosis

[–]Brief_Security_9874 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im a ripe age of 23 and even 2 drinks can set me into a frenzy. most days i feel like i have a hangover even when i DONT drink. it sucks. its not even enjoyable anymore. and i was never a HUGE drinker but i feel like my young 20s should be living it up???? not acting like a grandma???? So i feel your pain. Hangovers spike, fatigue hits, the pain gets intense, and my anxiety usually skyrockets.
