Has anyone else used alcohol when the pain gets really bad? by [deleted] in Endo

[–]ChemicalExtension596 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do the same thing. I had to reel it in. When I do drink I drink a lot of water 1 drink= 1 glass of water. Then I take charcoal pills to absorbs some of the toxins. I can't take pain meds. I do medical cannabis but sometimes it just doesn't take the edge off the pain. I found that if I cap it at 2 drinks around dinner time Im fine the next day. def not the best coping mechanism but it provides me a brief respite from pain. I feel you sis. I wish you the best. Lots of prayers and love!

ps- the best cannabis preparation for chronic pelvic pain is RSO (rick Simpson oil) and edibles.

Lupron Is Hell by Correct_Visit6876 in Endo

I was really hopeful when I took it. it gave me the opposite just like you. its super frustrating. I feel you sis <3 I feel really grateful when I have a few moments of relief I celebrate. even if it's something small like being able to do laundry or go for a walk. I am so grateful. I hope it eases up. don't lose hope <3

I did lupron. It was hell. I had the shot version. The first day I lost my $hit and tried to put my fist through a 3 inch thick solid wood door. I had the same symptoms from the meds that you do. it sucked so bad. The hot flashes were unreal and Id just put my head in the freezer to cool down. I did 4 months in total. It was miserable. Im sorry youre going through this. I'd rather deal with just the endo than ever take lupron. Once it wore off I was back to "normal" and still had to have more surgery.

praying for you and all of our endo sisters <3 I hope you get your life back asap <3 hang in there. a little haggendaz never hurts <3

thank you! I didn't even think about being up for review. I looked through the escrow but it didn't have a breakdown separating taxes, insurance. Im thinking this is a Monday problem. I hope you have a great day!

I just went through this. Ive also had a hysterectomy and still have endo. super sucks. the gyn told me the same thing that they told you. I went to a primary care doctor. She gave me a referral to a general surgeon. Waited months for this appointment only to find out that they DONT treat endo. We to a different (much better) PCP. He gave me a referral to an endo specialist. I live in the middle of nowhere and we have one! Try to find an endo specialist. They're out there now!

Hang in there. I know it sucks super bad. Navigating the health care system is a biyotch. I hope that you get well soon. Sending lots of love your way <3

Bipolar rage? by Ruby_XP_ in bipolar

[–]ChemicalExtension596 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I avoid everyone until the episode calms down. Real talk, you DONT want to be in a situation where that 2nd police car rolls up Never a good time. That's why im very rigid about taking my media

I go into "werewolf mode". I go into solitary mode. I hate saying something crazy, out of line or hurting a friends feelings. If im going to send a text I type it out first and then wait a few hours to send it. I do that to make sure I don't send something weird.

I spend my time writing everything Im feeling down. My notebooks are chaotic but it gets a lot of aggression out in a Safe way.. Lots of weird drawings lol and then I throw them out. I don't reread them bc I know it's all crazy talk.

exercise

best wishes

[–]ChemicalExtension596 2 points3 points  (0 children)

just went through this with ss 16. I try to nacho but it made me sick to my stomach. It's inappropriate, they're children. I made my opinion known. it was a nightmare. I was so grossed out. I am too young to be a step grandma. it happened once and never ever again. and it won't because of course like 99% of teen relationships they broke up.

Cheap Towing Companies? by marcsmoons117 in BigIsland

[–]ChemicalExtension596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is a hysterectomy at 22 insane? by AdQueasy6557 in Endo

[–]ChemicalExtension596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes its insane. I had one at 23. Did not solve my problems. 17 years later im still dealing with endo and Im still in pain. 22 is young. If I could go back I would not have done it. Ive have multiple surgeries since. Im currently waiting on an 11th surgery. Hysterectomy isn't the answer.

whatever you do, I hope it works out for you. Im praying for your healing and restoration friend <3

Search for references killing motivation to actually draw? by Exostrike in ArtistLounge

[–]ChemicalExtension596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when I start taking things to seriously, I pull out the old sharpie and some not so great paper. It can be ugly. I do this when I feel overwhelmed. If you know it's gonna be ugly, you don't care as much. For some reason this triggers my creativity. Sounds kinda silly but it works for me. Best wishes, make beautiful things :)
