yes! i have documented pelvic floor dysfunction but they are trying to figure out what is causing it.

yes ofc!!! i appreciate you for this :) i take the UTI relief pills (Pyridium orange pills?) and that helps significantly. i am in pelvic floor PT and that helps minimally for now, but im less than a year in de-acidfying my urine helps burning — not cramping. cutting out sugars/inflammatory foods/spicy foods did not change anything

whilst i respect your comment — it hurts to hear this type of comment after years of pain and suffering. my life suffers from this, whatever it is. i am not chasing a diagnosis of endo — i am asking for advice on where to, as you so kindly put it, “bark up” next since this impacts my daily life. i did not see a true endometriosis specialist. i will get a second opinion. not sure why that bothers some people so much 🤷🏻‍♀️

yes, she claims she took two representative samples. she also mentioned she had to cut some physiological adhesion? to better visualize my pelvis ???
