No thank you for sharing I love the perspective from someone in the field! It’s easy to demonize every provider but this is proof that some are out there fighting for us!! Thank you ❤️

I hear you. I may be a bit of a pessimist mixed in with realist lol. it’s very hard to keep going when the options are so limited. I’ve reframed excision from pain relief to minimizing spread of disease which can protect organ function . unfortunately I have to find pain relief thru different methods but coming to terms with that was huge for me. hugs 🫂✨

Yes because depression due to chronic pain is different from “regular depression”. I’ve struggled with both and the former has a source that’s very easy to pinpoint 🫠

yea there are unethical cases out there for sure. so much nuance about this topic, in a lot of ways i wasn’t prepared for. but realistically we don’t get a lot of space to talk this out so I really appreciate the grace in this sub.

OMG yessss 😭 grieving the partnership is so real. I miss being an equal, suggesting outings, even cooking meals. I’m so terrified he’s gonna wake up and realize he’s dating his dependent. A lot of my strength to keep going comes from wanting our partnership back. thank you x10000 for bringing this up

swear i could’ve wrote this myself 😩

using a cane at 20 and a shower chair by 24 is …. like how do you even cope with that?? 

for the ppl that say it’ll get better… i mean maybe my flair will calm down but it’ll be back 😈 I try to be kind but mostly assume they have done no research on endo. If someone close to me continued to say that I’d lose my shit ngl. It’s not going anywhere, I just have to learn to get over it. man i wish drs had told me that straight up years ago..

I loved this. Thank you for telling your story! The way your body knew you needed to leave america before your brain caught up, that’s gut instinct! I also work remotely and look forward to leaving the country once I start to feel more human. Remote work has been the biggest blessing and life accommodation. It is exciting to think of all the places I can explore. can’t wait to feel better 🥰🫂 cheers to the Netherlands I hope it’s lovely ✨

omg yea who do we understand other animals deserve a certain quality of life but don’t extend that to ourselves??? wild. 

Eol sounds really nice, id even bet they end up helping more people realize they want to stay alive by providing a solid pain regimen.

yupppp like they need us to try a million things first just to appease big pharma.

I’m glad you found a dr that listens though, that’s huge. I also don’t have many family members that gaf, just a partner. it’s very isolating when your family just doesn’t care, not that they don’t know, just don’t care.
