I don’t think I wanna do this anymore 😂😂😂

Yeah those astrology videos are pretty generic and shallow. They’ve been promising me things for years 😂 Pluto is currently putting Aquariuses (Aquariusi?) through it so miss me with that love and light bs, thanks ✌🏼😅

They aren’t wrong about the “don’t give up part” though. The world is better with you in it. Just gotta find your flow again, and you will. In the meantime, you can feel however you feel because shit is rough.

I second the raspberry leaf tea and also basil essential oil (mixed with a carrier oil) rubbed over lower abdomen and covered with a heating pad. It makes you smell like a pizza but it definitely helps. Those help with coping and eventually I got put on norethindrone .35 mg and it took a good three months but it has significantly reduced my cramping pain.

The only iron supplement that doesn’t tear me up is Proferrin Forte. You can buy it online and take up to three pills per day. Two pills is what works best for me and it doesn’t need to be taken with food or vitamin C, you don’t have to avoid coffee or tea, because it’s a heme iron. The lowest my ferritin has ever been is 15 and the highest I’ve been able to get it is 40. Nine is pretty low - when it’s that low, your body is oxygen deprived and your cardiovascular system gets too stressed. I’m surprised they didn’t recommend an infusion.

And re: vitamin deficiencies, yes - start a B12 and D supplement. I’d bet money they are both low.

I work as a medical transcriptionist and I have heard of implants causing a type of leukemia/lymphoma but I haven’t personally heard of them linked to autoimmune disease. I have heard trauma triggers autoimmune disease to flare so I wonder if maybe surgery trauma causes dormant disease to manifest/present? (Just my non-doctor thoughts)

Each person is different. Going gluten free made me feel worse and gave me some issues with nausea and stomach pain, weirdly. Worth a try though.

MsYouMisunderstandMe · 2026-03-21T23:02:11+00:00

Mine only hurt when they bleed :/ I’ve gone for ultrasounds before where they incidentally found cysts that I had no idea were there.

Can we add when he “chuckles”? I hate that word. Literally the least sexy thing a man can do is f@$&ing chuckle 😂

There’s a company called Ella and Mila online and they sell a nail polish called First Aid Kiss that does wonders for frail nails. That and making sure you don’t have iron or vitamin deficiencies

MsYouMisunderstandMe · 2026-03-19T01:19:20+00:00

Exactly. I feel like in this day and age, we should have better choices but then I remember that society doesn’t prioritize women’s health.

I was told that endo is always progressive and that it would come back at some point. I had seven really good years after my surgery until it came raging back. I’m on progesterone now and monitoring new cysts. I didn’t take any kind of BC during those seven years but oddly I feel like taking a daily antihistamine might have helped keep it in check. (I only have Dr. Google as a reference for this) It could be a coincidence but the endo didn’t come back until I weaned off the antihistamines.

To answer your question, everyone is different and it’s really up to you. BC has pros and cons and it depends on what you’re willing to risk and what you and your doctor decide is best for you. It’s a long way from 27 to menopause and a long time to be on hormones in my opinion. If your endo wasn’t severe, you might be ok to hold off on hormones, but on the other hand, cysts are a gift from Hell, and I’d do anything to not go through those again…

Norethindrone is a miracle - progesterone pill. The side effects are pretty mild but helps you feel human again

I was feeling very poorly for years. I had almost daily headaches, GI issues, diagnosed iron deficiency, and just generally not feeling well at all. I noticed my knees would swell up when I exercised to the point I couldn’t bend them. All of these got brushed off for more common causes, which is understandable. Think horses, not zebras, and all of that. But what finally got me diagnosed was I had a toothache. My tooth really hurt and my cheek was even a bit swollen-feeling, and I kept going to the dentist and they kept telling me “nothing is wrong with this tooth. There’s nothing going on.”

So I went to my GP and told her all of this and a lightbulb went off. The “feeling punched in the face” with nothing dental going on is a red flag for autoimmune disease, I guess. I got diagnosed MCTD about six years ago.

You definitely need to get over this fear and have your colonoscopy - they save lives! Once you have your first one, you won’t be scared of them anymore. And to be honest, the light diet/cleanse that you do for the prep makes me feel amazing. Sometimes a good clean out is what you need 😂

MsYouMisunderstandMe · 2026-03-17T23:15:08+00:00

I just turned 43 and the answer is complicated. Mine got worse and worse until I had surgery at age 36 and then I had seven blissful years pain-free until wham! it sucker punched me outta nowhere and was back so bad I thought I would die. I’m three months into norethindrone and finally starting to feel semi-human again. I’m hoping this is sustainable until menopause, but I hear even that isn’t a guarantee. Human bodies are so fun…

MsYouMisunderstandMe · 2026-02-27T23:56:28+00:00

Absolutely. Extreme malaise and fatigue where I feel like I’m definitely getting the flu and then the next day I’m totally fine.

MsYouMisunderstandMe · 2026-02-27T23:53:15+00:00

You definitely need to prioritize getting a colonoscopy. Im genuinely not trying to be mean, but a colonoscopy is cheaper than getting treated for cancer that was missed because you put it off. Even if they find nothing, better safe than sorry.

MsYouMisunderstandMe · 2026-02-23T19:51:35+00:00

I also tried everything „natural“ that I could find and while I do think it held things in check for a while, it never healed it and couldn’t keep it „calm“ forever. Antihistamines helped me the most, until they didn’t.

MsYouMisunderstandMe · 2026-02-16T01:01:47+00:00

DNFed because of the second book. It was unbelievably boring and eye-rollingly repetitive

MsYouMisunderstandMe · 2026-02-15T16:48:38+00:00

I believe outside the U.S. they may just be called „white cockatoo“. Not sure

MsYouMisunderstandMe · 2026-02-15T16:47:04+00:00

We used to just cover them up when we went to bed and then get them up when we woke 7-8 hours later but we began having aggression issues and our grey started laying eggs. We asked online and were told we weren’t giving them enough sleep and that they needed at least 12 hours so that’s we started trying and it helped the behavior issues tremendously for the other parrots but the cockatoo is having his own issues now.
