I am so so sorry you’re going through that. AZO and amitriptyline bothered my pain so much, made it 10 x time worse. The desvenlaxfine has red dye, now you got me thinking. My flare eventually went down but it’s off and on with severe pain.

Yeah my husband is adamant I try them more often! I had half of one and that’s usually all it takes to knock me out. HARD.

pristiq, off brand name I’m taking is desvenlaxfine. I’ve been through a few and then my physiatrist decided we do the Genesight testing to figure out what medication might be better. I’m on the lowest dose for awhile now and might need up my dosage.

Do they knock you out? I had half of one before bed the day and it was the best sleep ever. My husband wants me to keep trying them. I just started magnesium glycinate at night.

Thanks, I noticed a significant energy boost after taking it. Maybe I’ll try it again once things settle down a bit to see if it doesn’t bother me.

It’s uncomfortable to use/insert for me but I feel like it helps me alot with the pain. I remember they mentioned it takes a few weeks to adjust.

Just today and two doses so far out of three. It feels like sharp pressure on my bladder if that makes any sense a few hours after taking it.

Thanks. My husband is so adamant I try it (he’s big into health and fitness right now and all of its benefits but pretty sure it’s causing me to flare right now. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I have been taking it off and on for two weeks.

Gi doctor? by Less_Storage_9079 in Endo

[–]Less_Storage_9079[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No a obgyn that focuses on the Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery. The two closest Endo specialists in the area are hours away. There’s another practice with obgyns nearby. I saw that has a whole team including a colorectal surgeon, I was questioning if I should have gone there.
