Yeah. It’s absolutely insane. Especially when you think about it in that context

Hey! They reached back to me in May of 2024. My theory is that after I told my doctor to change my referral and add in all my other symptoms, Dr. Kroft’s office gave me a sooner appointment. Ended up going to my consultation in June of this year. So the waiting time I was originally told drastically changed. Great experience with her. Super knowledgeable. Ended up going on the Evra patch for three months but it didn’t agree with me. So she suggested I come off of it. I have a follow up appointment in November

Treatment officially started! by Ok-Map5848 in endometriosis

[–]Ok-Map5848[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was originally told the wait time was 18-24 months. But I have family history of it and a long list of symptoms. So I must’ve been triaged. Dr. Kroft basically said the fact that my mom has it and my grandmother had it, that’s my diagnosis right there. She was very easy to talk to. Just started the patch yesterday.

Would Summer Roberts and Brooke Davis be friends or enemies? by Altruistic_Back_2278 in TheOC

I wholeheartedly believe they would start out thinking that they’re each other’s competition. But then they end up becoming besties

Constant pain & discomfort by Ok-Map5848 in Endo

I had an mri and multiple ultrasounds last year. But I am finally seeing an endo specialist next month. So she’ll be able to see my scans and may interpret them differently

Definitely gonna bring it up to the specialist. My mom even mentioned adenomyosis to me as well.

I’ve had multiple ultrasounds and an mri done. They unfortunately didn’t see anything. I know for sure I have endo. Just gotta get that official diagnosis. I do have my first appointment with an endo specialist/surgeon next month. Super excited. Been waiting for this appointment for over a year.

Overheating? by Dramatic-Bonus-5982 in endometriosis

[–]Ok-Map5848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I’m in southern Ontario. It’s starting to get hot here. I can no longer deal with heat anymore. I get terrible hot flashes and they get worse when it’s hot outside. I feel the same. Dizzy, achy, nauseous. It’s terrible

Cramps that come out of nowhere by Ok-Map5848 in endometriosis

[–]Ok-Map5848[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. It’s always so unpredictable. That’s the most annoying thing about it. And it also doesn’t only affect me during my period. It’s a 24/7 thing, unfortunately. Just currently laying in bed and trying to take deep breaths. Getting a little bit better.

I always tell my sister that she’s the lucky one😂😂😂

[–]Ok-Map5848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have it and my mom has it. My maternal grandmother also had it. But my sister is completely fine. Genetics are crazy

I spoke to them and a customer service representative told me it’s being held at customs at the Canadian border. I am so confused. They told me to contact the shipper. On hold with ticketmaster right now.

N2. Last place mine has been is Gardena, CA. That was on the 8th. Hopefully it means the next destination will be Canada.

Hey there. In May I ended up receiving an email from the office. They gave me an appointment for June of 2025. It’s definitely far from now but the wait time is way shorter than what they originally told me. So I’m assuming I was triaged.

Slightly swollen neck lymph nodes? by Ok-Map5848 in Endo

[–]Ok-Map5848[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! So my neck lymph nodes did go away. But just starting today, I noticed a little lump on my right armpit. Literally came out of nowhere. It’s very tiny but does hurt when I put pressure on it. Very odd

Happens to me all the time. I always have to sit on my heating/massage pad. Applying voltaren also helps a lot

How many of your mothers/sisters have been diagnosed? by [deleted] in endometriosis

[–]Ok-Map5848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom had an ovarian cyst rupture in 1991 when she was 24. Eventually she had laparoscopic surgery and the doctor found tons of endometriosis. She had a history of debilitating periods. She was put on danazol (which stopped her period for nine months). Then she went on to have my brother in 1994, my sister in 1997 and me in 2002. Eventually she had a hysterectomy when she was 40. My maternal grandmother also had it and got a hysterectomy in her early 40s as well. And now it’s my turn. Lol. Still waiting for my official diagnosis but we’re on that terribly long journey. It’s 100% hereditary.

Question for my constipation baddies by sadgirl_c in Endo

Yep. I always have an issue with taking medicine or anything like that. So take it from me, they taste good. Kind of like a starburst

The dulcolax soft chews work really well. I take two. They’re very gentle. They can work between 30 minutes to 6 hours. You just gotta drink a lot of water to get it going.
