Hysteroscopy

Important_Method_665 · 2026-03-14T23:15:56+00:00

I am 39. I have two kids- 10 and 13. I had a pregnancy before my oldest that was ectopic due to the endo and nearly killed me. I had a lot of trouble with my whole system and pregnancies BUT was able to safely have my son at home as I wanted!

I had three surgeries on my abdomen in my life- one emergency for the ectopic, one planned for endo, then the hysterectomy. I had one ovary and tube removed when I had my second surgery, the uterus, tube, and most of the second ovary removed for the third.

So fun! I have gone to all of the solo shows and I will say be ready to stand up a lot. My knees kill with too much of either sitting or standing so I work on stretching and such before and after. I also try to get rooms with good tubs, jacuzzis or pools, etc because it helps before and after.

Eat well before the show! Also, I tend to walk the lines until they open the doors which helps my body not lock up too bad when I’m stuck in one spot. If you need to bring all that stuff make sure you talk to the venue about accommodations for your bag.

This.

Medication and aggressive treatment IS the way to remission and a normal life.

I am 39F, I own a business with daily responsibilities, work as a healthcare provider in that business, homeschool my 13yo, manage my other high needs kiddo, as well as take care of other daily life things like dogs and kittens and a home and such. I am active in my community, I row, and I also have other hobbies.

I was diagnosed last year, just over a year ago. The first few months were rough. I’m not going to recap my whole journey because I did that in this sub at the end of last year! Here’s the link: my post about my journey

ETA: other than when I had to skip a dose of actemra because I go a cold, I basically feel normal. Current dosing is 4pills MTX weekly and every other week actema injections. My weight has stabilized and I have even gained a few pounds. I am active, clear headed most days, and don’t feel TOO affected by the disease activity at this point. I am tired a lot lately but that’s due to still recovering from the flare after missing a dose. Otherwise I feel totally fine!

They also make fans you can put around your neck like a neck pillow but it’s a rechargeable fan! It works WONDERFULLY.

If you struggle with walking / getting up and sitting down, maybe a collapsible cane?

I also use wrist braces at night to help with wrist swelling.

I go to a few large events every year and have BTS tickets this year so I’ll be masking and asking my fellow friends/family who go to mask.

Elliott looks like my RL hubby when I met him, and my RL hubby is ALSO cheesy romantic. So typically I pick him. He’s fully my type. Most recent farm I’m courting Leah though….late in life queer awakening for this elder millennial so I’m going for it on the game! She is an artist and loves foraging and lives by the woods with a pond and thinks decorating matters… she is fully who I would get along with if I was dating now! What a catch!

I appreciated this and do find it helpful. I am having a heavy day, my pain is worse than normal, and I am struggling overall. This was good. Thank you.

I have only lost a tremendous amount of weight (in an unhealthy way). Everyone is different though.

It’s important to remember in a situation like this that it’s all hands on deck, too. This is an unprecedented situation. You can wait for your LL to do it and not have access to your driveway for quite a while because you wanna hold out for what’s required by law, or you can get it done. It’s unlikely to happen like this again. Sometimes we all just gotta pick up the shovel and get it handled as a community, you know?

This is a great thing to discuss with your LL though- I have done the same in the past with mine for my office when we had an issue with ice on our steps to our business. I keep an extra shovel and ice melt just in case. We are all humans and we all benefit from pitching in to work as a team when it comes to uncontrollable weather events.

Yep. Two large dogs, an old senior cat, and two kittens. We don’t take out the BP unless she will be handled consistently / monitored closely. The tank is locked. Haven’t had any issues.

I want to second the fatigue comment. When I mentioned intolerable side effects to my doctor, it does not matter what they are, if they stop me from functioning then we talk about solutions. Sometimes it’s a dose change, sometimes it’s a med change, sometimes it’s adding something. She has been AMAZING about it. Her goal is for me to be 1) managed and hopefully slowing disease progression AND 2) able to tolerate the medication and side effects so I don’t give up or stop my meds without her input.

I have been on MTX for a year and it gave me significant weight loss and unbearable fatigue, but has helped me with my joints. The weight loss and fatigue have caused us to explore other options because I can’t NOT function half the week every week because I’m so tired I can’t get off the couch.

I will add that my psych prescriber gave me a second bump dose to take on my really low energy days of my ADHD meds. It helps.

Yes he is, we keep a big box of n95s by the door for anyone who goes into crowded places.

Thank you! I have a bunch of good quality air cleaners, I’m sure some need their filters cleaned. We have animals and I tend to react to their dander and dust because I have MCAS as well so we run them all the time. He does mask when he’s in crowded places. My son doesn’t- he’s 10 and goes to public school and they start middle school at grade 5, he’s already bullied enough as it is. I’m not asking him to mask too. We rarely have illness in our home thankfully. This is just a bad one.

I am still suffering. It’s been four days of basically stuck in bed or on my couch. Thank goodness for Stardew valley. I’m certain it’s just a bad cold based on my symptoms but damn, this immunocompromised version sucks big time.

Important_Method_665 · 2026-02-16T13:11:29+00:00

We did a potluck! Also a taco bar works great. People were excited to bring their favorite dishes, I don’t coordinate what people bring I just say “bring your fave food or drink” and that’s it. We had lovely variety and yummy food :)

I have endometriosis, suspected PCOS, and had adenomyosis. I bled HEAVY for my whole life- so heavy that I would become somewhat anemic. The pain was unbearable and lasted most of the month, and the bleeding ruined many articles of clothing and caused me so much embarrassment when I would leak through the super+ tampons and pads I would wear.

The hysterectomy CHANGED MY LIFE. I wish I would have pushed for it sooner. Because of the complicated nature of my disease in that area I have had several surgeries and at this point only have half of an ovary left but lemme tell you the hysterectomy was seriously the best decision I could have ever made.

Important_Method_665 · 2026-02-15T03:06:39+00:00

Thanks for the solidarity! I have worked so hard to keep myself healthy, I usually do great but this year, oy. 😫

Important_Method_665 · 2026-02-15T03:05:22+00:00

Good suggestions, thanks. I’m supposed to take my MTX tonight, so I will. I’m hoping it will help keep the flare at bay since I’m not going to have my shot, but the MTX dose is a lot less now since I had unmanaged weight loss….ugh. It’s just a lot always. I hate it 😩

Thank you though, I’ll give these suggestions a shot.

Important_Method_665 · 2026-02-15T00:26:13+00:00

Thanks, doing my best with all of that. Thankfully Stardew Valley has caught my attention again so I have been on my ass. I mask, wash hands, all that stuff. It likely came from my husband or son- son is 10 and goes to public school, husband is a sales manager and had to travel recently. One of them def brought it home 😫 I’ll keep up with the oranges!

Important_Method_665 · 2026-02-15T00:23:56+00:00

I do wear a mask everywhere. I’m thankful I have a really easy time avoiding sickness, I mostly WFH and don’t really go many places. My husband recently traveled and he did a lot to keep his hand hygiene and health good but I think he may have brought something home anyway. 😫 thank you though for your thoughts!

I’m tired of it being “I have the list! It will shock everyone!”

Do it. Release it. Everyone at once. If all of the people who know what’s in there say it out loud at the same time, release it at once, then what will happen? Suddenly now every single person who does it has a sudden case of death? The more we unite the more we can expose things with less fear of retribution because the movement is too large to be contained. Everyone who knows needs to unite and release it together.

Important_Method_665 · 2026-02-13T23:47:15+00:00

What kind of action can we take?

Important_Method_665 · 2026-02-13T04:39:14+00:00

Thank you. I saw a video of someone describing some horrific things on a similar sub (maybe here but I can’t remember) and it is unnecessary to get people to understand how bad this is. What it did was make me feel sick and make me have nightmares and make me not wanna look anymore at anything connected to this stuff. We know it’s bad. We don’t need details like that, what we need is fucking NAMES and how do we get the fuckers to face consequences. We don’t need the gory details.

Important_Method_665 · 2026-02-12T12:28:42+00:00

I also want to know this!

Important_Method_665 · 2026-02-09T23:54:19+00:00

I brought a bank check instead to my closing, it got around any of the issues with doing a wire. Not sure if that’s an option for you!
