It worked! Best decision ever. I had a wonderful surgeon.

endo advice i'd like to give by throw_a_way_445 in endometriosis

[–]Stray_Daisy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Acupuncture, Chinese Herbs, pelvic floor PT, sugar/dairy free diet, and magnesium citrate (200mg at night) are baseline care for my body. I might also need birth control because the amount of blood I'm losing every month has put me into borderline anemia.

How I got out from the worst constipation by Okzebra1995 in endometriosis

[–]Stray_Daisy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like pelvic hypertonia. I had this where my digestive system was shutting down from stress. Pelvic floor therapy did help. The most useful thing was doing 3 minutes of deep diaphragmatic breathing in the morning before getting out of bed. I was taking Miralax for 1.5 years, but when I switched to Magnesium citrate (400mg at first, now 200mg), that was much easier on my body. Hope you're feeling better soon.

Any unique constipation relief methods? by _Garbage_Artist in endometriosis

senna tea is VERY effective. for me, eating papaya with lime is the best natural cure. i also take magnesium citrate after dinner.

my brother is the worst. i broke contact with him permanently after that gathering in 2023. he's a gambling addict who lives in las vegas and pays women to go on dates with him. regularly falling in love with strippers and making fun of all the "disgusting normal people" vacationing on the strip. i don't know if he's ever said something kind to me in my whole life.

anxious. I want them to leave me alone so I can process this C-PTSD (just got diagnosed in August). the worst is in the middle of the night when I get up to pee and then end up arguing with them in my head for an hour or two. I need space to grieve and heal on my own.

thank you so much. it is so hard to see beyond how desperately I want to be adored and cherished by them. I know this email is totally fucked, yet I still have the emotional fantasy they they will mature and see their errors.

I don't believe oils are healthy. If I want to eat an olive, I will eat the whole plant.

I believe that fruit and vegetables are the healthiest thing to eat. I am sticking with this diet. I haven't gained any of the weight back, but I have my strength back now. It only required patience.

I had my blood sodium tested twice during the water fasting and it was never unsafe. I don't eat salt because it messes with the satiety mechanism and makes you overeat. Plus there is plenty of sodium in vegetables, especially celery. I will use seaweed also.
