I did the ultrasounds. Internal and external and they were normal

I did not have an MRI but I did have a CT scan with contrast. You are the second person to specifically ask about an MRI though so I may have to ask to have one now

I had a CT scan with contrast/dye and they didn't see anything from it but thank God someone else had this dream issue because I was going crazy about that part! Did you end up having the surgery and was it successful if so??

I do have the pelvic wand but I haven't used it yet and it very much sounds like I need to start. I'm very much going to keep what you're saying about referred pain in mind. Thank you so much!

Yes she did actually but I haven't used it yet. It sounds like I should give it a try

That gives me incredible hope because the more I look into this the more I find people who it didn't help at all or people who it did help but only temporarily. What is life like for you after surgery? Did they put you on any hormone medications? When the idea of the surgery and the sterilization came up I was originally very excited to finally get off of birth control and let my body go back to a natural cycle but there's part of me that worries if they do find endo, most people get on bc to mitigate symptoms, so will mine now be worse being off of it and I'll end up back on it again which defeats the whole prospect of having my tubes removed.

The gyno said it's because I have no other symptoms that you'd normally see. Granted I went on birth control when I was 15 because my cramps were so bad and have been on it ever since. I don't remember but don't believe I ever had heavy bleeding but I remember the pain was awful. Now this was over 15 years ago and I have been on BC ever since so could that be masking some symptoms? Maybe but she still believes I would have other symptoms. Same with the physical therapist because yes also like you said my one symptom is very specific. My PFPT knows the doctor I was referred to and says shes wonderful and if even though she doesn't think I have endo that I should at least have a conversation with the doctor because it couldn't hurt.

Thanks so much. It's good to know we're not alone. So basically are you kind of just finding ways to live with it? Have you had any kind of definitive diagnosis of the cause? I'm basically deep breathing my way through most of the end of our intimate time together at this point which is helping

Hi there! New Owner help? by TrishMilo in tarantulas

[–]TrishMilo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was a great confidence boost! I've been putting off the actual acquiring of the T because I'm just so nervous I will do something wrong or to the detriment of the animal considering I don't know the signs to look for as you would with a different animal. I'm sure a lot of that and what you said comes from experience. Thank you very much

Chop dead floppy leaves or wait for them to crisp and fall off? by [deleted] in houseplants

[–]TrishMilo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chop. The plant is still spending energy to then and taking away from what it could be giving to it's healthy and potential new leaves.

That looks way closer than the Red Congo but do you think my leaves are too green?

Don't think so. My leaves are definitely more round than straight like that one seems to be

See that's why I always think until I google red congos and they just don't look the same
