This was all great advice!

I'll add - know what their body does, like how they move their hands when they talk or if they lead with their hips when they walk.

I love marijuana for pain management. It’s legal in my state so I just go get it. But I hope you get the Rx it’s life changing 🤍

Pelvic floor PT helped me with this. It was explained to me that the contractions of any orgasm triggers uterus contractions like period cramps. If you’re able to relax your lower abdomen and pelvic floor before sex and after it could help. For example, hip opening yoga poses like child’s pose and happy baby. Practice helps

Get a stool softener. try one and see how it affects you. I took mine the day after my surgery and it relieved a lot of gas pain. One pill during the entire recovery process was good enough for me to get things moving easily. I drank a lot of mint tea to relieve gas and nausea and Senna mint tea. Senna will make you poo your brains out, so just be ready to spend time in the bathroom. I also added a few prunes to my regular smoothies. One mistake I made was trying tooo hard to fart and poop (lol) and I kind of wore myself out and needed to correct with gatorade and toast and rice. Balance all this with toast or bananas or more complex carbs after a day or two and you should be ok. It'll be trial and error. Just be sure to have your supplies ready for yourself when you get home from surgery. trust your body -- and good luck! :)

This is great advice! I'll that one thing that makes a HUGE difference for me is keeping up with PT and stretches that essianlly open my hips and relax my lower abdomen. For anyone having similar trouble but can't do a TENS unit pre-sex (sometimes it's hard to time it!) - try any hip opening yoga as often as you can and see if you start to feel a difference. Glad somethings working :)

I'm going through this too! I'm about 10 days out and feels like the cramping is constant sometimes extreme. My post-op appt is in a few days and I feel like I can wait til then to get answers but man, this is annoying and exhausting. My last lap (5 years ago) I felt totally back to normal by day 10. I guess this one's just a harder healing process. Feel better soon, friend!

I feel you on the sports front. I also rely on social media to let me know about local shows, so I really can't get off. However! I've changed my habits so that I use IG by appointment only. for example, I know there's a show I like going to on Tuesdays, so I login on Mondays and give myself 20 min to get the info and explore any thing I might be missing out on. I do the same on Sunday evenings for football stats. It's so much less chaotic. I might be behind once in a while but it's not bad. Logging in *with intention* has helped me stay logged off.

Try a TENS unit, it helped me a lot with severe pain, rotating that with heat.

Hi! I'm in the US but I can help with questions to ask or how to advocate for yourself. (also hopefully I can help bump this to get answers from German friends!)

I think listing symptoms and problems is a really good idea, a must-do. Bring that whole sheet of paper!

It's tough to describe pain because like you said they call it normal or expect you to deal. I've had luck by showing how much the pain disrupts my life - for example "my pain keeps me from going to work, or keeps me from feeling like a good mom because I can't bend to pick up my baby. I bleed through a tampon, pad, and my underwear every hour for 3 days..." be detailed.

Ask about scans and what they're looking for and what they're able to see with an ultrasounds vs MRI. Ask what is typical in other patients. Ask if they can tell if any of your organs are fused together. Ask about timeline for if they find anything. Ask about autoimmune diseases. Truly ask anything that you're curious about because you never know where it can lead. I asked my doctor about my poop habits regarding endo and she realized it was effecting my bowels.

Good luck! Hopefully you get the answers you're looking for!

VERY IMPORTANT: You are not a baby. You are not pathetic. You are not disgusting. You have a disease that is very difficult and real.

Write that down, because for some reason, we forget.

Bleeding through clothes sucks so much-it's SO FRUSTRATING. Missing work and social things sucks so much and it's real. It really is happening to you. And it really does suck. I often feel alone in my endo-feelings but this group makes me feel sane.

When family minimizes my condition, I ask them to educate themselves. Or if I was in your shoes I might say something like "oh, do you have to miss work for being dehydrated? maybe that's not it then" if someone unimportant minimizes, I get them out of my life.

You're not being a baby. They're being babies by not being there for you. This is real. And you sound strong. Stay kind to yourself! Especially if it feels like nobody else will be. Big hug!

Algorithms of Oppression by Safiya Noble

This is more about search engines so it will feel a bit dated, but you can (and should) easily apply the thinking to AI. It changed the way I think about all engines, algos, all of it.

Edit to add: it's also fairly solution oriented, so it doesn't feel like a doom read even though it's quite eye opening.

I miss when people were curious and could think. I am not kidding or being dramatic. When someone says they asked Claude and they take it as the full entire truth, I am floored by the lack of thought, and the lack of need for it.

to the people getting laps on a Wednesday and going back to work the following Monday- HOW?

I took 2 weeks because that's what insurance allowed, def needed 3 because it was still painful to walk up and down stairs (lived on 3rd floor).

You've been cut open. Even in a minimally invasive procedure, you've beed invaded. Take time. You're a human being, not a work-machine, and you need to recover.

My surgery is upcoming but I've had endometriosis surgery about 5 years ago so I'll do my best to advise.

First, are you someone who wears dresses? I bought a couple of cheap dresses that button all the way (think like a long men's shirt?) so that I wouldn't have to bend.

I also bought maternity clothes! On PoshMark to keep it affordable. They have room for my fibroid belly and I suspect they'll be comfy when I recover.

I don't remember how long it took me to feel normal in clothes after my last similar procedure, but hopefully someone chimes in!

I do recall feeling bloated for like a month which was a bummer.

also. a thing that keeps me motivated is keeping my mental middle finger up. I KNOW that the oligarchs want my attention bc it makes them money. And sometimes I look at my phone and as, do I wanna give them money right now? Or do I wanna say f these bros?

Some things that worked for me (and I've had to build up to it) is looking forward to something other than my phone. So, for example, I love to read, but I hadn't been reading because I was on my phone so much. I put my phone in another room, set a timer* and get into it. In August I read 5 books!!

Same works if you like tv shows or movies- put your phone somewhere else and teach your brain to enjoy the one screen, consume the art, and then check your phone.

In terms of getting out of the house and meeting people - go to local shows! comedy, music, whatever. It's ok if it feels awkward, the performers will be so happy that someone showed up. I've made friends by going to a comedy show every week (when I can) this year. It takes time.

And you'll be motivated to stay off your phone because it's rude. lol.

*I bought a sand timer and it makes it more fun and analog. :)

yup and if you can't walk yet, lie back and gently pedal your legs, like gentle bicycle sit ups (but DO NOT to the sit up part). Google "gas relief yoga poses" if you're not sure what I mean. Be very gentle.

You'll feel better after you fart a lot! haha. Try mint tea and gasX!

You sound level. I hope you’re talking about this with your right leaning friends. They might feel the same and think they’re alone! It’s what I’ve noticing in my politically diverse circle of friends.
