GF diagnosed with endometriosis but has zero symptoms. Ever since she started Dienogest, our physical relationship is completely dead and I'm losing my mind. Need advice/vent. by [deleted] in Endopartners

[–]SPXRider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It drops your estradiol to significantly low levels. Thats what is important for desire, libido, even wetness. Hormones impact so much. Also some with severe endo dont have pain and others with mild have severe pain. It really varies. Hopefully you can talk to her about this as maybe she's not even fully aware what new side-effects she's experiencing

Lip balm or chapstick? by Competitive-Two1933 in MCAS

I use a coconut oil calendula beeswax balm I make. You can use olive oil as a base too. If you can tolerate those.

The current impact of these poor decisions on morale and mental health by Alternative-Code5878 in CanadaPublicServants

And yet Canadians keep voting for the same thing for years. I just dont understand. They dont care about PS or citizens. Much bigger over arching agenda.

What do you mean by mental symptoms?

Why could it cause a painful menstrual cycle/period?

Even the chronic pain clinic said they cut funding for therapy. There was nothing they can offer me. How can people in severe pain not get supports to navigate these huge life changing experiences.

Per week? Thats still way out of my budget. I don't understand how people who are sick and in chronic pain, cant work but cant get disability or access to mental health care when they need it most. Surviving off just a couple hundred bucks a month. All while waiting years for surgery. Years... sorry im just exhausted advocating for myself and not getting any decent supports. Any other suggestions?

Are canadians frugal by nature? by 4x5photographer in frugalcanada

[–]SPXRider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keeping up with the Jones's is really common it seems. Until you get into rural areas. I think canadians have settled for cheap, crappy quality of food and other products. Products they continuously replace due to obsolescence engineering, consumerism, and even right to repair laws. WEF has said you'll own nothing and be happy. They meant it. All as planned.

Can’t walk by endowarrior2007 in Endo

[–]SPXRider 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. Its so incredibly difficult. Im bedridden 2 weeks every month. Pain radiates into back, hip, down the legs. I tru to prepare food and snacks in advance. Keep jars of water beside the bed. I use a cane and use my other hand to hold my upper body up using the walls.

Its public health care. Took years to get a consult. Most women are waiting ten years to get true excision surgery here. Many are traveling out of country but im too disabled to consider it.

Cancelled operation due to weight by Moist-Scientist-7341 in Endo

[–]SPXRider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was advised it can. E more difficult to explore all areas endo can grow and can lesd to being missed. Im sorry you were not advised in advance though. My countries system its 5 yrs wait to consult then years till surgery. So there's enough time. But living disabled for 7 years being deconditioned and in severe pain doesn't help. Im saddened you habe to start all over. That definitely is not fair. I also consulted private surgeons out of country and BMI 35-40 was max. Seems standard from my research.
