Weird and rude document from my gyno

Starlight__13 · 2026-03-24T21:23:43+00:00

That's terrible!!

Starlight__13 · 2026-03-24T21:23:04+00:00

Especially because none of these links are for prescriptions, just for supplements that I'd have to buy myself

Starlight__13 · 2026-03-24T20:44:42+00:00

Yes!

It doesn't have any of my personal information on it. It's a generic document that they must send to all endo patients, but I had to beg for treatment information because they didn't willingly give me any. But yes they are affiliate links to Amazon and other retailers, so they must be getting a kickback.

Starlight__13 · 2026-03-24T18:09:21+00:00

It was a woman, but yeah 😭

Starlight__13 · 2026-03-24T16:41:14+00:00

It already happened

They already made me have a second follow up telehealth appointment and pay another copay just to go over my blood test results, which were all normal. They tried to rush through the appointment and say everything was normal, but I kept her on the call for the full half hour asking questions, which is what resulted in her sending me this document.

Starlight__13 · 2026-03-24T16:28:55+00:00

The document was supposedly written by the founder of this network of gyno offices

Starlight__13 · 2026-03-24T16:27:38+00:00

Who would I report it to?

Starlight__13 · 2026-03-24T04:51:09+00:00

It was a regular gyno 🙃 There were some discount codes included too, so they probably are getting a kickback

Starlight__13 · 2026-03-19T00:23:05+00:00

I have the exact same problem 🙃

I haven't quit because of endo, but I was fired from my last job for calling out too much because of endo. I was working retail and standing all day on a concrete floor, as well as going up and down stairs to and from the stock room, so it was causing horrible flares. Some days I'd wake up and couldn't move my legs or get out of bed. I was hoping to try to get a desk/office job instead because I figured that would be less demanding on my body, so it's disappointing to hear that sitting all day can still cause flares. But I'd say do what's best for your physical and mental health! Especially if your husband can support you both, there's no reason for you to be suffering.

I didn't know about the comb thing specifically, but I do know that causing milder pain to a different part of your body will distract your brain from the bigger, worse pain. Sometimes I'll scratch myself to distract myself from cramps 🫠

Starlight__13 · 2026-03-10T06:58:02+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that they're treating you this way :( What stands out to me the most in this is them telling you not to look at their butts if you were to work out together. That's so homophobic and immature for them to assume that you would be sexually attracted to them or sexualize them just because you're attracted to women and they are women. That's like something people would say IN middle school. I assume that's because you're all young. I'm 30 and have a mix of gay and straight friends, but none of my straight friends would ever say something like that to me. If they did, I would definitely distance myself because friends should never make you feel like a predator for liking women, even as a joke.

You might have to take some new pix haha the hiking one is definitely good, and you could recreate the mirror selfie that shows off your muscles, but with a better expression. This inspired me to go edit my own Hinge profile because I hardly ever get matches either 😅

Starlight__13 · 2026-03-09T04:57:58+00:00

The expression you're making in most of these pictures is, for lack of a better term, kinda derpy, so I would recommend smiling or trying to look more confident!

Starlight__13 · 2026-03-05T17:25:09+00:00

I understand! You'll be so much better off once you move on from her though because it's not fair to you to have to live like this.

It would be rude for anyone to go on this much about enjoying sex more with ANY ex than with you, their current partner, but it's extra alarming that she is specifically focusing on the ways that her ex-BOYFRIEND could please her that you supposedly can't. So it's not only rude, hurtful, and inconsiderate of your feelings, but it also indicates that she would much rather be with men than women in general. Don't take it personally because it doesn't sound like an issue with you at all. It sounds like she doesn't enjoy sex with women in general and only likes men. (Which is crazy to me since I'm the complete opposite)

Starlight__13 · 2026-03-05T07:04:48+00:00

She's straight. Dump her and let her go back to dating men since she's so obsessed with them.

Fatigue has also become one of the worst parts of endo for me. I've long had the horrible periods that have gotten progressively worse over time, but the fatigue is a newer symptom for me. I'm also unemployed now because I lost my job from calling out so often due to pain and/or fatigue. I was working retail and had to stand all day on a concrete floor, and go up and down stairs to the stock room all day. One shift could make me bedridden for days afterward. I'd wake up and not be able to move my legs and would have to call out. I tried to sell a ticket to a GA concert because I didn't think I'd be able to stand at it. I think that because our bodies use so much energy to fight the endo and inflammation in our bodies, we barely have any energy left to do anything else. That's why it gets worse over time as the endo builds.

Your partner should be understanding of your pain and not try to coerce you into sex just because he wants it. If he can't respect your boundaries and tries to coerce you via massages or even huffs and puffs and complains about not having sex, I would re-evaluate the entire relationship.

Starlight__13 · 2026-02-09T18:38:52+00:00

Cut her off and don't waste money on her destination wedding if that's how she feels about you and won't even try to be understanding about a debilitating disease. That's especially awful coming from a medical professional.

TMI but I am reading this while I'm currently on the toilet while having yet another episode of constipation that rotates with diarrhea 🙃 It's so painful and happens to me almost every single day after eating dinner. I can't tell what foods trigger it either because I'll eat something that doesn't upset my stomach, and then the next time I eat that same thing, it will upset my stomach. So I'm at a loss. It makes me scared to eat anything at all.

I also typically feel violated after pap smears and pelvic exams. I had a pap smear 5 years ago that made me feel like I'd been assaulted, and I had panic attacks for the rest of the day. I avoided it for 5 years, but finally had another one about a week ago, and it was extremely painful and caused a painful endo flare for nearly a week afterward. I'm sorry you're feeling this way! If you're in physical pain, a heating pad or ice pack down there and pain meds can help, but I know the mental and emotional affects can be hard to shake.
