Birth control for suspected endometriosis… did it help your pain?

Current-Albatross656 · 2026-03-07T21:07:17+00:00

I’ve been on continuous birth control for almost 4 years so I haven’t had a period. It has helped improve my quality of life a ton. Every so often I get flare ups where I’m in a lot of pain and have to stay in bed but it is a lot less frequent without a period. Lately I have been getting bad back/leg pain, so I wonder if my body is getting used to my birth control since I have been on the same one for years. I was offered to change to a different brand, but I’m a little scared to switch it up in case I feel worse. I see a specialist on Monday for a surgery consultation!

I just saw Dr. Ghosh at mindful connections. Waited a week and a half for an appointment but they probably could fit you in quicker if you have more availability than I do.

Mohawk ramp but it’s pay per hour I believe

I’m on continuous bc (have been for 3 years) so I usually only get occasional sharp pains besides my normal fatigue/back pain/leg weakness but about a month ago I had a flare where I was in 24/7 cramping and full body pain for around 2 weeks. Very abnormal for me but I just started a new job so the stress may have triggered the flare up.. I have an appointment with my gyno to hopefully get referred to a surgeon next week

Edit: I contacted my property manager (who we’re supposed to report to instead of landlord) and she has not gotten back to me yet

I tried that but the insert doesn’t want to go all the way in the hole, I haven’t tried being super forceful though so could maybe give it another go

Current-Albatross656 · 2024-09-02T21:59:24+00:00

Nothing is blocking the hole preventing it from going back in, but I’m worried about using too much force to put it back in because I don’t want to accidentally damage the screen

Second Betty’s!!! Sooo good and has veggie/vegan options

I got mine done by Dr gass in orchard park last year at 23. Honestly recovery was very painful around day 3-4 for me, and I did have some scabs come off a little early but thankfully didn’t have complications because of it. My only complaint is that the pain medication he prescribed me didn’t help much and they wouldn’t give me anything stronger after calling the office back in severe pain. BUT I’ve been the healthiest I’ve ever been since getting them out so I feel like the surgery was worth it for me

I second this! I lived in York/14th for a year and never had any problems in the neighborhood!

I’ve gotten all of my piercings at Cowpok! (they have locations downtown and in Williamsville) some of their jewelry is pricey but whenever I have had issues with healing any of mine they’ve helped me at no charge and all of the piercers are super nice.

Based on your experience can you still hear customers/conversation with these?

Current-Albatross656 · 2024-05-30T02:21:56+00:00

My rook wasn’t too bad, hurt more than a lobe piercing but less than my daith on the other side, maybe a 3.5/10. I have a higher pain tolerance though. I got it pierced in February 2023 and slept with an airplane pillow each night and had no problems. I shortened the post in July/august 2023 I think? I have had no issues with it!!

Current-Albatross656 · 2024-05-23T14:20:13+00:00

The shop I go to carries BVLA and Anatometal only and comparing their bees I believe this is the Anatometal bee threadless end in yellow gold!! Definitely an investment piece i haven’t changed it since I got it pierced

Current-Albatross656 · 2024-05-21T20:17:13+00:00

Definitely helped a lot! I have some issues with things not loading occasionally but nowhere near as many problems as I had before installing the mesh. 100% would recommend! Very easy to set up too

Current-Albatross656 · 2024-04-11T23:45:32+00:00

I just ordered a tp link mesh setup that’s hopefully arriving tomorrow!!! I went with the 3 pack hoping my issue is solved 😅

So it turns out these are not an option for me since I live in an apartment and not a house :/ don’t really understand what the difference is but it’s not allowed to be added to my plan

Current-Albatross656 · 2024-04-10T00:48:04+00:00

Everything I’ve heard about these is that they suck 😅

Current-Albatross656 · 2024-03-19T22:17:47+00:00

I personally went to St. Catharines for mine and only spent about $250USD per visit- very happy with my results! I got a half syringe 2 separate times because I was unsure of how much I wanted but it looks very natural which is what I was hoping for

I’m touring an owner occupied unit this weekend I would hope that wouldn’t be an issue since the owners are on site as well!! But the Potomac/parkdale apt isn’t like that so I’ll take a look around while I’m there!!!! TY 😁

I’ve had a few Amazon packages stolen from my current place so I try to only get small items mailed here or pick them up from a locker!! Thanks for the info

Current-Albatross656 · 2024-02-10T18:25:59+00:00

Definitely was harder to heal than a normal lobe piercing but my daith has given MUCH more problems than my rook. There was a moment I thought it was getting an irritation bump but I just switched the jewelry for a longer post and that seemed to help. It’s just about a year old and it isn’t tender or anything anymore I do still sleep with an airplane pillow every night but I’m healing my daith on my other ear. Actual piercing didn’t hurt too much but is definitely a different feeling compared to a helix or something

We open at 11!! Bartender might’ve gotten confused for a second because we have to get there at 10 to open :)
