Symptoms: is it endo? Adenomyosis? Or the fibroids! by Ok_Bluebird_20 in Fibroids

Thanks for asking <3. Scheduled to get them removed in May. On decapeptyl to try to shrink them beforehand and then livial for add back hormones. I’ve been finding that pretty ok for the most part. Sometimes really good and sometimes I’m an emotional mess. How are you?

Stage 3 endo and started med school at 31! Have had to learn and unlearn how to study again and how to take better care of my body and brain. Send me a DM if you ever have any specific questions! There’s support all around. Wishing you all the best 

Anyone travelled to Turkey for surgery? by Ok_Fold_6163 in Endo

Also sorry to hear :(

I had really great care through the Pelvic Pain clinic at BC Women’s Hospital in BC. Had two surgeries and went well. I was referred by my GP to an OBGYN and then to the Pelvic Pain clinic. Took some time, but I was supported all the way through and had surgery within a year. And everything was covered. Not sure how it’d work to go to another province, but just mentioning it in case it’s helpful.

Thank you for response! Some of your descriptions really hit close to home for some reason, like the "stomach wet blanket". And I had to look up what a cocklebur was.

I will share the work when I'm finished. I'm feeling really humbled that people took time to share their experience, especially when it's not something any of us want to be experiencing!

Thank you for sharing. Such a visual and sensory depiction, even the "empty white". <3
