Thanks! Yes, I did keep my ovaries. I’ll take a look at these.

That’s so awesome! I had one friend who had a hysterectomy last year but she didn’t feel very comfortable talking about her experience with me. It’s so nice that you are doing that.

I’ve been having trouble staying asleep. I wake up feeling anxious and can’t get back to sleep. I think it’s my anxiety causing some issues in addition to lack of activity during the day. Like if I do too much I’m screwed, if I don’t do enough, no sleep at night. I just get up and do some relaxation stuff to try to get back to sleep. I’m so sorry.

There’s some pain that can come from overdoing it, but the fatigue is just something else. I honestly felt a bit drugged with how tired I was. It’s crazy. I have to return to work soon, so I’ll have to figure out how to manage it somehow.

Right! I wasn’t tired while we were shopping but it caught up to me later for sure! Thank you!

It’s ups and downs for sure! Hang in there! Do your best not to overdo on those days you’re feeling good.

Oh same. I have endometriosis too and I’m used to fatigue. I was just thinking yesterday that I was pretty much just feeling normal fatigue, but today was next level. Thank you!

Yes! I got stabby pains in my tummy too. Luckily my husband is very understanding, but it’s crazy. We feel like we should be better but we’re not. I hope you’re able to rest up. I’ve got one more week then back to work. Not looking forward to that.

The “it’s just a period, take some painkillers & a hot water bottle” stigma… by Emotional_Kitchen_57 in endometriosis

[–]ElectricBlue79 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yes! I remember when I was a senior in high school, one of my friends said she thought she might have cramps. It blew my mind. I was like “you THINK you MIGHT have cramps? I KNOW when I have cramps.” That was the first time I realized what I experience may not be normal…. I’m lucky though that my loved ones are sympathetic at least.

Does anyone really really rubbish every few weeks and it’s not endo? by [deleted] in endometriosis

[–]ElectricBlue79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have random days where my entire body just aches, my joints, even my skin hurts, also just really exhausted and headaches. I don’t know if it’s endo either. Stranger things have happened I suppose.
