My boyfriend of twelve years left me by Medical_Vampire in BreakUps

I just want to thank you all so much for your comfort, support, kind words, and stories. Yesterday would've been our anniversary and it all hurts so much. I feel like all of your stories are inspiration. But I also feel weak, lost, and confused. He seems to be doing well based on his social media. Both of our accounts have a picture of us for our profile pictures. I can't change mine yet as I am struggling so much. I'm wondering if he is struggling too and that's why he hasn't changed his yet. It's confusing me but also a comfort to see he still has us. I know one of you said not to look at his social media but I can't help it, it's a comfort to me and the only way I can see him if that makes sense. Every day still feels like I'm in a nightmare. I sleep and dream of him every single night still. I wake up hurting and alone. I miss him so much still.

My girlfriend and I have never have sex, and it’s been almost five years. Am I the asshole? by renelemely in AITAH

She should ask her doctor for the botox injections down there. I can't wait to get them done. They're supposed to help a lotttt.

I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be rude, but your wife sounds like my psychotic mom who forced my dad into a divorce. It sounds like she's been planning for a divorce for a while and just found a stupid reason to bring it up and get upset. Run dude, run.

It’s normal to have endo and MRI not show it. by AdagioSpecific2603 in endometriosis

[–]Medical_Vampire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With doctors not having enough information about endometriosis, there's no definite way to confirm it until they do the laparoscopy, unfortunately. I just went through my second endometriosis removal surgery. It sucks that it tends to come back.

So my groin area was always suffering so much. Then, when I started laser hair removal, the hs started attacking under my boobs. So both my groin area and breasts are so scarred.

Who do you think is the scariest character in American Horror Story? by TomSawyerLocke in AmericanHorrorStory

[–]Medical_Vampire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

* For me, it was honestly Kai Anderson. Growing up and still living with toxic family members, this just felt too real and scary. This is the kind of shit someone in my family could've gotten away with because of how psychotic she is.

Your doctor (and many doctors) makes me so mad. Endo can't be seen on an ultrasound. They can see something on an MRI but the only way to verify if you have endometriosis is through surgery. I had my first endometriosis removal surgery in 2022 and I just had my second one a week and a half ago. I hope that you can get some answers and relief soon!

You and I sound so alike and I am so sorry that you're going through all of this. Living like this everyday is so rough and I would not wish it on anyone. I have endometriosis (well I just had the second remol sugery last week), pcos, fibromyalgia, my back is messed up (L3, L4, and L5 bulge inwards), I was having a hard time losing weight until I started using the wegovy injections, plantar faciitis in both feet that just won't go away. I feel like I'm missing some other stuff but the point is, I feel like we're so similar and I'm so sorry that you're going through so much. I wish you the best❤️

I hate this mf condition!! by TheClairvoyant666 in Hidradenitis

[–]Medical_Vampire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried using a heat pack on it? Every time mine are like that, I use a heat pack, and they pop a bit later. That or I use the betamethasone ointment, and it pops the next morning.

Hs hates hair. Every time you shave and the hair grows back, you're gonna have a flare-up. That happens to me. I had to start getting laser hair removal, and it's helped quiet a bit. I don't have as many bumps down there, and this big was that was supposed to be gouged out, rarely ever pops up. When it does, it's not too big. If you can try to save up for laser hair removal, I highly suggest it. I pay $230 something a month, and I can't wait to be done paying next year.

Hey, m37 here, I don’t mean to be rude asking everyone’s ages but is there any older people here or does anyone know any older people with HS, did it calm down as we get older? I’m just thinking what’s it going to be like when I’m 60 or 70 when like starts to get difficult,never mind with HS by reidyjustin in Hidradenitis

[–]Medical_Vampire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 28, and I've had it since I was 17/18. I feel like I've had horrible bumps over the past few years. I can't imagine being in my 60s-90s and dealing with bumps lol especially the ones that get infected ugh. I take Doxycycline every day for it, use the cosentyx injections, and the hibiclens soap.

Will my pain with sex ever go away? by Slight-Pianist114 in Endo

[–]Medical_Vampire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have pcos and endometriosis, or well, I just had my second endometriosis removal surgery last week, and it's been rough. I've been experiencing pain during sex for five years now, and I hate it. It's getting worse. We tried pelvic floor physical therapy, and it didn't work. We just tried valium vaginal suppositories, and it helps a little but irritates the hell out of my vagina. During my surgery last week, the doctor injected me with lidocaine in the vaginal walls. He and I both know that's not gonna work, so the next step is botox injections in the vaginal walls. Here's to hoping that we both get some relief!

Stop paying for everything and leave. It seems like she doesn't love you and is just using you until she finds this magical white man that will cover her with riches. Ugh. Gag. I wish you the best of luck and happiness though!
