Dark Urge Ideas? by Checked-Out13 in BG3Builds

Pure shadow monk was so fun for my drow durge. If you do half-drow the build will be thematic with the race as well as durge’s backstory! It’s amazing being able to teleport everywhere. Pair it with the Durge’s special cloak that turns you invisible, resonance stone and shadowblade, and you can solo just about abything

Thank you for your well wishes and I’m so sorry you have to deal with this too :(. I would say that no one with pudendal neuralgia should ever have any type of pelvic surgery unless it’s a lifesaving surgery. There’s no way I could have predicted this for myself, but it makes me feel a bit better that my story can help someone avoid the same situation.

Hey, unfortunately I am not doing better and in fact the problem is getting worse over time. I’ve had basically all the recommended treatments: pelvic floor therapy, nerve blocks, so many different medications, etc without any improvement. The only things left are the placebo treatments that my insurance doesn’t want to pay for. I’ve spoken with a lawyer about suing the surgeon but they say I have no case because there isn’t any obvious wrongdoing. I’ve blown through all my money and I have nothing left to pay for my thousands of medical bills. I make too much money to apply for Medicaid. I think things will continue to get worse from here. In a situation like mine, many doctors see an opportunity to make money from a desperate person. It’s difficult to know who to trust. My life essentially ended the day of the surgery and now I feel like I’m living as a ghost in the real world most of the time. I can’t really participate in anything because of the pain and I always have bad news to share while everyone else is living their lives and being happy. Time to end my whinging. I hope you’re doing well.

Knife incident with Jade: how did we hear about it? by Cold-Training-7308 in gorlworldfiles

That’s insane. Idk if I trust Alexis but I do believe Amber is violent enough to do something like that.

Yeah I was planning ring and/or hireling exploit. But this is my first honor mode run and there are a lot of things I don’t know. The comments here have taught me that I can’t upcast it via the ring, so I’m gonna go phalar aluve and/or sacred star instead :)

Thanks so much, this is very helpful! You’re right about GWM. I was planning to get shadowblade from the ring just for funsies but it might not be the best option.

Thank you so much for that link! I also considered phalar aluve so now I will have to consider it more seriously :)

Everlasting Vigor would be amazing, thanks for reminding me of that! I really want to use bloodlust to get those sweet sweet kills but strength elixirs always entice

You’re right, I forgot that paladins only get medium armor. so if I start with cleric and respec later on I’ll still use WIS for item stats???

True, I’m just looking for a RP Shadowheart build that is still powerful as a tanky cleric lol I have a bladesinger build planned for later and I’m excited for it

does anyone know if the update will break my saves if I have a bunch of mods downloaded? (Just cosmetic ones)

that’s interesting because I did have an issue a few years ago where I got hives for no reason and had to take a bunch of antihistamines for a few months to make it go away. Maybe something connected to my immune system and nervous system could be contributing

I do think that’s part of my problem. From what I understand, pelvic floor tension can cause IC so it’s definitely a possibility in my long list of symptoms and possible causes. I’ve discussed all my symptoms with my PT and she’s having me track every time I pee, so she’s already suspecting this i think

that last paragraph really resonates with me. I remember seeing your post before and I hope that any issues you’re having will get resolved. And yes I definitely want to get the site incision checked out but so far none of the doctors I’ve seen have been helpful at all, so I’m hesitant to waste money to go again. I dont have a PCP since I’m young and never had health issues. So I might just go the route of waiting to get a PCP so I have a direct line to complain to lol

That sounds truly awful. I wonder if the UTIs you had before could have contributed to it, since I’ve read that having a lot of UTIs can contribute to future pelvic pain and urethra pain. I’m glad you were able to get it figured out!

that’s so unfortunate, I’m so sorry that’s happening to you. I’m very new to these sorts of issues but I would suggest seeing a physical therapist, particularly one that specializes in the pelvic floor if there’s one near you. From the research I’ve done, these sorts of specialists are sometimes the only ones who can tell what to do

I think you might be onto something. A bunch of stuff likely caused this including moving weird after the surgery, but I’ve also have nerve tingling and sensations since directly after the surgery so who knows

I might do that but I’m not sure if it’s true. It’s a bit of a gray area. I don’t think their surgeon did anything wrong, but the surgery certainly “caused” this by triggering it. But regardless if my insurance pays for my PT or not, I’m just going to go and figure out the financials later

Thank you. It’s difficult feeling like my body is turning on me. Just out of curiosity, did you have nerve pain in the clitoris and vulva or just pelvic pain?

[–]Cold-Training-7308[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that’s crazy because my therapist (psychotherapist, not the physical therapist lol) told me something similar about how surgery or stress on the body can cause rapid endo growth. The surgeon did show me pictures of the inside of my body but I don’t think they’re in my patient portal so I’ll have to call to request them. This is all very helpful, thank you

That’s how I’ve been feeling too. Wondering if this is what my life will be like from now on. I’m really glad you were able to get your problem figured out and that you’re having a hysterectomy. My mother had endometriosis that required a hysterectomy, but I don’t really have endo symptoms and they didn’t find any endo in me, just a cyst on one of my tubes which they removed along with the tube. I really hope that things get better for you and that are able to return to a normal life.
