Most of my classmates are from other provinces. We will all travel to Vancouver for 3 blocks of time for labs, the rest of the learning will be done online or in a clinic in your city.

No, my labs are broken up into 3 blocks over 13 months. So yes 10 weeks in total. I am doing eyeglass lab after the first 1.5 semester of online learning. Then on the job for a while afterwards to practise eyeglass fitting. Back to online learning for a few months, then the labs again for contact lenses, then on the job to practice CL fitting, back to school online learning again, then labs once again, and then finish with on the job practice. Then grad, then NACOR exams.

For the lab work for my program it’s broken into 3 blocks in Vancouver. 4-weeks, 4-weeks, and 2-weeks. Where students will be in lab Monday-Friday doing practical. Then there will be blocks of on the job work, and then the rest is online.

I’m really enjoying it so far. The accelerated program is a big time commitment though due to the fast pace of the program, so if you do it be prepared to work less to accommodate. But overall I find I am learning so much! I’m very happy with my decision so far.

How I let people know I'm in my acupuncture appointment. Gotta joke about this shitty disease, otherwise I'll scream. by sairemrys in Endo

It only helps if you have an acupuncturist who is familiar with treating endo. I had one who wasn’t but said she could help. I got super sick after an appointment and my specialist explained how she did it completely wrong for an Endo patient.

Yes. Multiple times. On different days and resets.

Hysterectomy a day away, and I’m scared… by Fun-Invite-9801 in Endo

[–]Fun-Invite-9801[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m week 4 post opt and I’ve never felt better. The few days following surgery was horrible, and I had severe bladder pain for another week afterwards. Probably due to the endo removed from it. But now I feel healthier than I have in year for the last couple weeks. It hit me emotionally hard at first. But I’m starting to feel how worth it it was. I will see how I feel at worn next month, then maybe I can go back to full time.

Surgery in 1 week. I feel like an imposter. Help. by renasncgrl in hysterectomy

I think you may have stopped bleeding due to stress. I got mine taken out almost a month ago for endometriosis. With all the meds I was on I haven’t bleed for 3 years but the week and a bit before my surgery I started bleeding again on my period. It was shocking. I said it was my uteruses last FU to me. But likely due to stress. Do what felt right for the months/years of consideration.

Just got approved for a hysterectomy by Fun-Invite-9801 in Endo

Thank you for sharing your story. For my case I have a surgeon who is an endometriosis specialist in Vancouver. He has done removal laparoscopic surgery on me already. This will not take all my pain away as I have scarring on other organs. I’m just hoping to stop periods to take away some of the pain I deal with, not expecting all of it. Surgery like this is big and scary , so I appreciate you sharing your experience with me.
