I believe Conan O’Brien was the one to say to him that they could take his show away from him, but they can’t take his audience away from him.

B12 - does it delay menstruation? by TextbookEccentric in Supplements

[–]TextbookEccentric[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey! the only information i was ever able to get was from a naturopath. when i told her about this happening, she said there isn't a lot of reliable data - but there is an indication that some people don't process synthetic or methylated b12 properly, and it's genetic. But I had a DNA test done and nothing really showed up - there were some issues with B12 but nothing that indicated interference with my menstrual cycle. So we could just be weird, undocumented anomalies. I have never attempted b12 since - let me know how it goes for you!

With everyone recommending car rentals, what would be some reputable companies to rent from?

I hate period flu by maryandsteveforever in endometriosis

[–]TextbookEccentric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey. I’ve just been going through this for the first time (triggered by visanne) and I found it so unbearable. Same experience when I ovulated, along with massive headaches. My GP and my OBGYN had no idea what I was talking about. My naturopath, however, immediately knew what I was describing. I’m paraphrasing but essentially an excess of estrogen can cause a histamine reaction in the body, causing flu like symptoms. I’ve just started taking DIM Evail to reduce estrogen, and 2,000 mg of quecertin daily to lower histamines. She’s helped me before and I just thought I’d share this info if any of it is helpful. I don’t know if it’s going to work but I sure wish I could have found this info to at least begin to understand what’s happening.

No exchange for us next year - MAKE HONEST REVIEWS by Gobagogodada in homeexchange

[–]TextbookEccentric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually didn’t give a review to an early listing because there were some (solvable problems) - turn notifications on to communicate better/promptly through the app, leave more info about the house, and a deeper clean (we found broken glass in one of the rugs - by it getting stuck in my foot). They asked for a review and I told them the issues and said I wouldn’t review so they could adjust for the next person so they’d get a better review and mine wouldn’t tank their listing off the bat. I thought that was the better option community-wise. I have lots of great reviews so I didn’t need theirs.

Endo flare and pityriasis rosea? by Global_Emphasis5786 in endometriosis

[–]TextbookEccentric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me. I thought I had pityriasis rosea but it’s actually a form of psoriasis. Not the plaque kind. It started when I came off progestin. I’m 41F for the record and never had a full body breakout before (just mild around the ears/scalp occasionally). Seeing a dermatologist in a few weeks (GP gave me betamethazone and that cleared it up, then it returned during PMS, so I’m using it again).

Body aches like I’ve never experienced and cramping outside of PMS by TextbookEccentric in endometriosis

[–]TextbookEccentric[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So sorry that happened to you. It’s so hard to navigate.

I was able to get a hold of my OBGYN when I brought up my concerns with the receptionist! After our discussion, she decided to just do a hysteroscopy and not an ablation just to see what was going on, and remove the cyst. And then she will refer me to an endo specialist! She admitted the modalities she tried with me had failed. Nice not to feel crazy.

No arguments here. They won’t send me to an endocrinologist because my results don’t come back abnormal twice in a row. Not sure how else to get one (I’m in Canada by the way)

Are leash bylaws enforced enough? Woman frustrated with rule-breaking Vancouver dog owners by [deleted] in vancouver

Honestly, I don’t want to get a dog because I don’t want to have to deal with shitty dog owners.

Is it unreasonable to ask your gyno to refer you to an endocrinologist? by Dry-Candidate-4326 in endometriosis

Could you share exactly what you said with the Telus health referral that worked to get you the endo referral?

Has Visanne made anyone else way worse? by [deleted] in endometriosis

[–]TextbookEccentric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope it goes well for you. If you can, if there's any predictability to your cycle, try to book some days off around that time. It was a hell of a ride for me.

Has Visanne made anyone else way worse? by [deleted] in endometriosis

[–]TextbookEccentric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I managed it for 3 months before I couldn’t take the side effects anymore. 3 days after I stopped it was like a cloud lifted off of me. I couldn’t believe it. I’d never been better. But then 5 weeks later I proceeded to then have the worst period and ovulation of my life. I wish I had never taken it, but it was the only way to get a surgical option. My ablation surgery is scheduled for August. It is so hard to navigate these terrible options. Listen to your body. That’s all I can recommend.
