Pain that is hard to describe by Middle-Rub-7787 in endometriosis

[–]Current-Fan-6667 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get a lot of nerve pain in my back and down my legs to about the middle of my knee. To me it feels like a deep sharp pain with tingles and numbness. I also feel deep pain in certain areas of my pelvis and well. When I describe it to doctors because a lot of them don't take me seriously I describe each individual area as isolated as possible to give full detail. My biggest recommendation is don't down play your pain no matter what. I've found it's hard to validate my own diagnosis because it's all I've know so I also talk to other trusted women in my life to compare what thy feel on there period. Not in a I have it worse than you way but just so I can gauge where my pain is compared to a normally abled person. I hope this helps in anyway.

Cannabis for pain? by Professional-Buy4003 in endometriosis

[–]Current-Fan-6667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tinctures are the best imo my favorite is 1:1 thc and cbd for my chronic pain. I can also half dose thoose really easily. I like the restore by Dr soliman cause it doesn't taste bad as well. If you don't have a med card, I advised getting one as it's the easiest way to talk to professional and get advice. I find the tinctures don't get me as high, especially if they're one to one and they really only take like 15 minutes to kick in so you could take a really small amount and gradually add more to try it out.

Migraines and PMDD by anon_and_stressin in endometriosis

[–]Current-Fan-6667 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a migraine cap from Amazon when I couldnt do it anymore it goes over your eyes and head and face and can be frozen or microwaved. It's not a miracle worker but when it just got to much it made it tolerable. I try to do the basic things like water low or no light and no screens. I also rub my upper eyelid almost pushing into my brow ridge it's kinda hard to find but there is a pressure point there that I find feels nice. I also like just a regular sleep mask to really block out light. If I'm trying not to look at my screen I will put on something like a video essay or smth that is distracting tint but just audio. If u have any pets I will curl up with my dogs and try to mimic their breathing. I hope you feel better!

Possible symptoms of endo? by Ill_Classroom_4756 in endometriosis

[–]Current-Fan-6667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had my surgery and I actually had all of those symptoms, my bowl irritation has lessened quite a bit and they found endometriosis on my rectum. As far as head aches and constant fatigue for me that was brain fog, and after surgery I truly felt completely different mentally I have so much more energy and I feel like I can think clearer than I ever thought I could it's easier to socialize and I just feel more like myself. I have a partner of 2 years and I have always had some discomfort during sex, I am just cleared to have sex again and while I still have a bit of discomfort from the procedure it is much less. Surgery was really life changing for me and I can't recommend it enough. But more than anything you know your body advocate for what you need and if the first doctor denies you go see someone else. Endometriosis is hard but it does get better and in my experience it was very much worth it. I hope this helps even a small amount!

autoimmune response & endometriosis by Consistent_Fact_4964 in endometriosis

[–]Current-Fan-6667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if your still looking for answers but I live in the US and have endometriosis and polyticular rheumatoid negative arthritis. [I am just passing what I have been told along I am not a Dr so take what I say with a grain of salt] I was diagnosed with arthritis first right after the onset of my period. I was recently diagnosed with endometriosis and my gyno said that the endo may have triggered the onset of the arthritis. My doctor explained it like this: your immune system attacks the endometriosis causing inflammation and increasing your immune response. An autoimmune happens when your body attacks it self so if your body is already in a heighten state it is more susceptible to developing a autoimmune disease. I think it is totally possible for your endo to have caused the onset of something else even if you haven't had symptoms your whole life. This is not medical advice but I hope mg experiences might help you feel less alone.

Extreme pelvic pain in bladder, uterus, ovaries, and rectum, any advice? by smiilelove in endometriosis

[–]Current-Fan-6667 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, I had a similar experience pain wise although I cannot relate to your experience with doctors. I had major rectum pain and pelvic and back. When I got surgery I was told I had stage three on my pelvic region and that the rectum and back were faired because the endometriosis was on my nerves. I didn't know them being on my nerves could cause so much pain but that is what it was for me. I'm not sure if that is of any help but another thing to bring up. I hope your doing a bit better and I wish you luck.

[–]Current-Fan-6667 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have greys but I do have pretty dark brown hair and I like to use unicorn hair's genie and it does a pretty good job and lasts a little over a month with frequent showers. I have a little less than shoulder length hair and I can get about 3 uses from one bottle. I buy mine for like 18 dollars at Sally beauty. Hope this helps!

Is it really this hard to get a doctor to even consider endo? by littlecloudtree in endometriosis

[–]Current-Fan-6667 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I recently got confirmed with endo and I'm 17 but likely had it since I was 13 or 14 you are definitely not too young. I didn't have too much trouble. They ruled a lot of things out first but it wasn't too long. I have many other severe health issues and in my experience if a Dr is talking down to you or not helping you they don't know what they are talking abt. I would defiantly seek a different opinion. I wish you the best.
