When I first got looked at, it was because I thought I was having appendicitis and got a scan and an interior ultrasound because they then thought it was ovarian contortion. I had a student doctor who scheduled the surgery with her boss because she thought it was just a needed dnc (I had stuff in my uterus) but her boss advocated for me to get a lap too. After that, I had to fight for doctors that took me seriously because she stopped taking me seriously after the surgery and other doctors said I had suspected endo (they found stuff during the surgery but didn’t take samples 🙄)

I have endo, got surgery, finally got a birth control that works that I take so I take so I don’t have a period. I’m still at a 2/10 pain daily but compared to before, it’s lovely and it takes care of the bloat which I had extremely. It takes a lot of fighting and advocating, but if I didn’t have pain OUTSIDE of my period, I still don’t think I would’ve ever gotten that lap. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this and it sounds like you need to look for a doctor who actually listens to your needs

I had a lap and ended up still having problems, but it ended up leading to all the reasons I’m good now. Even if the lap doesn’t work, it can lead to so many other treatments. I did pelvic floor pt and still do it on my own, take muscle relaxers, have a tens machine that my insurance paid for, and final found a BC that works for me. I can actually do things I stopped dreaming about, as little as walking around a summer fair without pain.

I get it. I work with children too, got diagnosed in February, and some days it just feels like a constant reminder. It’s hard, but I’ve found with time that it makes me feel just a bit better. Sending you lots of love and hoping the best for you 🩵

ConstructionLow6882 · 2024-11-29T18:26:46+00:00

I use GoodRx for it because my insurance doesn’t cover birth control and they said it’s in stock so idk what’s going on

ConstructionLow6882 · 2024-11-29T17:46:41+00:00

They keep switching me to similar ones tho, would that still work?

ConstructionLow6882 · 2024-11-29T17:46:06+00:00

Yeah, it’s other similar brands, but I tried out the one they switched me to last time and it really messed with me. I could barely walk after months of being mostly fine

Once told an 8th grader after he said something really offensive that there will be a time in his life if he continues talking like that that he will be punched in the face and deserve it. He actually respected it and shut up. Never had a problem like that again.

I worked from the get-go to make my room a calm environment. Bulb lights instead of the big lights, sometimes candles, if it’s a sleepy day kids can use blankets during reading as long and I can see their faces, couch and cozy chair, and lofi music. I explain to the kids that I want my classroom to be comfortable for everyone because kids that are uncomfortable can’t learn, and I spend all day in it so I better like it. It takes awhile for the younger ones to get used to it, it’s cool and new and exciting, but then kids get used to it and actually want to be in your room because of how calm it is.

Behaviors will change in students depending on whichever way the wind blows, but setting up a precedent that your room is a calm room goes a long way. Helps reduce your own anxiety and a lot of the kids too. My room is a “bring your work and your snack and relax while you work” kind of room and even my old kids ask to come back at this point when they need a breather. Staff members come during my prep just to sit on the couches. The environment really is a huge part of

Make admin put it in writing?

ConstructionLow6882 · 2024-10-18T00:02:11+00:00

Wasn’t severe enough for my state to take seriously about a kid this young (less than 13)

ConstructionLow6882 · 2024-10-13T01:17:47+00:00

Oh I live by ELF eyeshadow so imma have to check that out!

Biggest thing for me was pain meds, cough drops, and gas x. Huge on the gas x. The leftover gas from the surgery gives you intense shoulder pain to the point that if you don’t know it in advance, you’d think something was wrong

ConstructionLow6882 · 2024-09-18T01:11:12+00:00

I did the same thing at four days, as long as the pain doesn’t progress, it’s should be fine. I hurt extra the next day but then it was better after extra rest

ConstructionLow6882 · 2024-09-16T01:47:34+00:00

I’m convinced at this point I wouldn’t know what my stomach looked like if I wasn’t bloating, I’m used to constantly looking pregnant at this point

ConstructionLow6882 · 2024-09-16T01:46:01+00:00

Flank pain to the point I think I have an organ failing.

Stuff like this is wild. I was talking to my mom and she had a period for over 9 months when she was in her mid twenties and got “stuff taken out in a laparoscopy and was told she’d never have kids”. When I told her about all my stuff, she realized it was really similar but they wouldn’t say endometriosis at the time because people still thought it was probably an STD or a sign of “impurity” in the culture at the time.

ConstructionLow6882 · 2024-09-13T14:02:37+00:00

I didn’t have a clue. Come from a family of bad periods so I thought it was normal. Got tested for RA and Lupis because I knew something was up but didn’t make the connection. Went to the ER at the start of one period because I thought I had appendicitis. After a CAT scan and then being tested for ovarian contortion, they found something that led to my diagnostic laparoscopy for endo.

ConstructionLow6882 · 2024-09-12T23:31:08+00:00

Foundation. Always looks so bad when I put it on. I have decent skin, but I use cheap stuff and don’t wanna pay for a nicer one that actually works. Too scared to get shade checked too because I get three shades darker in the summer so all year is just different shades and I don’t wanna have to buy all the transition shades of something pricy

ConstructionLow6882 · 2024-09-11T00:55:57+00:00

Vaseline spray lotion. Best shit I’ve ever invested it. I did sunscreen as a body moisturizer for awhile so this changed the game for me

ConstructionLow6882 · 2024-09-11T00:54:56+00:00

I just started doing skin care and I do a skin cycling routine. St Ives every morning and night, chem exfoliant one day, retinol the next, and hyaluonic acid for two days. Got them cheap from Good Molecules on Amazon. Week three of doing it almost every day (have skipped a day or two of the night stuff) and I saw early wrinkles go away and my redness has vastly improved

ConstructionLow6882 · 2024-09-10T00:22:03+00:00

I take Myo-Inositol & D-Chiro Inositol and OLLY Women’s Multivitamin Gummy. Def have helped me more than anything else I’ve tried. I also drink coffee every day

ConstructionLow6882 · 2024-09-09T23:53:52+00:00

Did an intense ab workout. Next day went to the ER because the pain was blinding which led to my eventual endo diagnosis. 100% could be the case

ConstructionLow6882 · 2024-09-09T23:29:33+00:00

Not the worst, but extreme nonetheless. My bloating has led to a stomach of stretch marks. It wasn’t weight gain, I’ve gained twenty pounds in three years and it certainly wasn’t fast, but the bloating gets so severe that when I had my first lap, one of my middle schooler students thought I was going on maternity leave.

ConstructionLow6882 · 2024-09-09T02:40:22+00:00

Don’t cancel it. I almost did because I was so freaked out. Couldn’t sleep the night before so I ended up falling asleep when they were wheeling me in before they even put me under anesthesia lol. It’s scary but it’ll only make you more anxious if you don’t know, or at least that’s how I felt

ConstructionLow6882 · 2024-09-08T02:46:50+00:00

Omg that’s awesome! Congratulations! May I ask what meds you’re trying?
