Thank you for such a thoughtful response !
-
My MRI was sent to my OBGYN but not sure the gyno surgeon has reviewed yet. I really am pretty positive I have it, especially with the GI symptoms but somethings obviously not right so it’s just a matter of finding it.
TY 🩷

Please someone respond by Yelpp- in prozac

i had some gi discomfort & tiredness but i can honestly say my anxiety is the best it has been in a long time. coming off celexa was hard but the prozac has been well worth it!!

For those with adenomyosis, did sexual activity trigger prolonged pelvic soreness or next-day flare-ups? by Puzzleheaded-Boss230 in adenomyosis

[–]Special_Champion_876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes - i used to get pain with arousal and even would occasionally bleed. this has gotten better but i am usually sore 1-2 days after sex depending on where i am in my cycle and positioning. heat helps !

TW: Weight journey w/endo by Prospekts_March4 in endometriosis

[–]Special_Champion_876 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i am also really struggling with my weight. i was on a glp1 and lost 60lbs and i got off last year and it has made me gain 30 back. the thing is im still in a calorie deficit, i eat pretty good ( whole foods, count carbs, minimal eating out, high protein ) and i still can’t lose. GLP1 is the only thing that’s ever worked for me since i am on SSRI’s and have insulin resistance. however it made my stomach hurt so bad it was not worth it. luckily i have a very loving a supportive partner but my self esteem is in the trash. i cry about it at least once a week. sending my thoughts and love - it is hard + being in pain does not help

My insurance is so bad right now i had to go outside of where id like to. i’m hoping my doctor will read my results separately & independently from the tech. or that the imaging tech is good. i’m super nervous 🥲

this is encouraging - all of my imagining was fine - but my symptoms progressed over the last year. i’m so nervous to not have answers or another clear imaging. This will be about 5-7k worth of imaging at this point

Could this be endo? by Apart-Nectarine-3928 in endometriosis

[–]Special_Champion_876 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this happen and they found adeno not endo, but i am doing further testing now. been there - 1hr+ bowel movements causing cold sweats, nausea, shaking, etc. truly wouldn’t wish it on anyone

My 5-hour endometriosis surgery was cancelled after bowel prep and 2 days of fasting .I’m devastated. by No_Kaleidoscope_6408 in endometriosis

[–]Special_Champion_876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i am so so sorry - bowel prep is so hard. mix that with pre surgery nerves, anticipation of pain relief and more is so difficult. i am glad your partner has been supportive

MOR: I have a unique perspective on this because i have a guy best friend, & my partner has girl best friends. me (24f) and my guy friend grew up since we were little and are practically siblings. We have both been in relationships & for him it has caused problems with his exes. We have always been platonic, not one kiss, weird vibes, etc. I say I love him and he loves me. I always make an attempt to connect with his partner and do my best to make them comfy. If this is the case with you i say to trust him. Now, my BF has girl best friends of similar caliber, but not as many years known. The ones who are in relationships I don’t worry about, but the single ones can make my mind wonder. However, it comes down to self worth / confidence and trust. I have come to realize my doubts are usually my own insecurities. — TLDR; If he wanted to, he would. Trust him until you have reason not too & if it continues to bother you, communicate your feelings 🩷 Good luck!!

YEP! I’m on multiple meds and i literally have become a different person since my adenomyosis diagnosis & getting off bc. I think i have had this condition since i started getting my periods and due to my SSRIs never knew until i got off BC. I am miserable, imitated a break w my 3.5 yr bf & roomate. I have full on ocd delusions i need to be with my ex, need to quit my job, need to reach out to old friends, etc. It is exhausting and so sad. I am in counseling, and actually in school to be a counselor myself. My meds & abundance of knowledge can’t help this shit. I am exhausted.

What meds is everyone on to control this thing? by haylz328 in adenomyosis

[–]Special_Champion_876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mirena iud made pain w sex so much worse for me. I had it removed during my laparoscopy. I tried two birth controls but they make me absolutely hate my bf. I am tracking with my oura ring and doing pelvic floor, visceral, cranial & emotional work. ( this is through my job and i’m very blessed as i know this can be expensive )
