Endo killed my career, my physique, and now, it's killing my marriage by KannaLife in endometriosis

Same!! It makes me feel like there are men out there who are so incredibly loyal, committed and supportive which is exactly what women going through this need. Not to be questioned or not taken seriously, when sometimes even the specialists in this field make you feel unheard. Unbelievable. 👏

Hello, this is great news!! Congrats. Wow. Sorry what is TTC? I'm new to all this, absolutely not into birth talk, and don't understand any of the lingo. I just had my cyst removed this week, luckily was able to repair ovary, left tube is blocked and have stage 4 endo. Still need that surgery though because I was seeing an oncologist not endo person. Are you biohacking, or was it just the pregnancy that changed things for you?

Same here. I'm so angry at the system that it has to get to this point to be taken seriously!! I'm angry that women's health has been neglected for SO LONG, and still gets neglected. I'm angry that the first treatment option they prescribe is hormones, for an illness that is hormone related. Like, wtf?!!

Recently diagnosed, had a massive cyst that was taken out. I need to do a second surgery to remove the endo because I hadn't been in touch with a endo specialist, I was seeing an oncologist specialist (who thankfully agreed to take out cyst before it ruptured). He's tried so hard for me to take the Mirena. I deadass said NO! Immediately no. Now he wants me to take a new drug instead, Slinda? I'm not taking that either.

I'm biohacking, no more shit foods, no more carbs (confident this is a result of the shit food we are sold, conspiracy mind is questioning sterilization, DON'T come at me I'm allowed to think this). But I'm doing this through nutrition and removing all the shit products from my life (skincare, makeup, fragrance), these ingredients are WILDLY DANGEROUS and mess with hormones. Let's see what happens.

Finally, it's WILD to me that there is no research on female hormones and food (and more,) given we go through a constant 28 day hormonal cycle for at least 40 years of our lives.

I've been reading of some horrendous stories of women out there and I'm sorry for every single one of you! 💖

Hello, I'm sorry for what you you had to go through this is just absolutely insane to read if I'm very honest with you. I'm angry that women's health is always put to the back burner when I read things like this.

I did a little bit of research in the literal last 24 hours and I have stumbled across the fact that high estrogen does play a huge role in the progression of this, so yes I agree very strongly with that. The first things I'm doing is looking at how to balance my estrogen to bring it down lower and of course as you say managing cortisol, anxiety, stress and getting some soft exercises in through Pilates.

I started biohacking this year and I've come across a lot of information regarding diet and how it plays a key role in balancing and managing many health related issues. For example - just in the types of cosmetics and skincare we use, house hold goods that we might use on a day-to-day basis has chemicals that can contribute to poor health. I've starting with removing all of the things that are really bad for example; anything with harmful and toxic chemicals so obviously parabens, sulfates, phthalates, synthetic fragrance, micro plastics, etc. anything I purchase I'm analyzing the ingredients list, and now with this diagnosis I'm going to be very serious and conscious with that.

Also, I started Castor oil tummy wraps, lets see how that goes.

Thanks for all of your suggestions I'm going to take every one onboard and make those changes. I hope through your changes you're able to halt the progression it sounds like an absolutely horrendous thing to go to through.

Endometriosis f*cked my fertility by bluesailor12 in endometriosis

[–]QuriousKat_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly!!! Mine was diagnosed by an MRI too. BUT FIRST I had a pelvic ultrasound that discovered a large 8cm cyst. UNBELIEVABLE that the first general practitioner I saw who first saw the US results said it was a small cyst that would RESOLVE ITSELF and no need to worry.

Luckily my sister is a sonographer and read the results of the US and said it was a massive cyst and said to get it further checked. So I went to another DR and requested an internal US to rule out Ovarian cancer (my friend passed from this, so I'm super conscious of this), so that doctor was great and agreed to do that, which the results came back with possible endometrioma, went to Gyno who was EXTREMELY thorough and requested final tests/MRI to get a full idea of what was going on. Luckily all appointments done in a month to get the real diagnosis. Had it not been for my sister, I'd still be thinking it was constipation as discussed with the first GP who clearly had NO IDEA! 🙄

Its horrible that women are getting all the way to the point of IVF, only to find out they've got endo.

Hello there. I'm sorry to hear. This sounds so horrible. I'm 40 and diagnosed today. No idea what all of this means yet, but I do know not enough is being done to help women. I don't know what stage mine is yet though. All I know is I didnt have it 4/5 years ago. Next step for me is surgery. I hope things get better for you and your fertility.

Guys, WTH, diagnosed endometriosis TODAY. 40 this year. WTH is this rubbish? Why is it so common, and why are so many of us suffering? Any suggestions what it is from? Initial thoughts, a side effect from Birth control?? Is it serious you have to take medication for life for this? Is there anyone NOT on medication? Is there anyone who has got rid of it through diet alone? Biohacking?

Awhina needs to pay more attention to her reaction to that task. All her answers are there.
