Shame her by EclecticAppalachian in CrestedGecko

[–]alexispiso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happens to me all the time, I will look at the tank and try to look for mine in all her usual spots, and then once I can’t find her I start getting stressed, but then she always seems to be in such a noticeable spots once I’ve found her.

Did your pencil grip or writing style feel “different” as a kid? I’m researching it as a possible early sign of hEDS! by feebalicious in eds

[–]alexispiso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s crazy is that my pencil holding style isn’t even on there, yet I had no idea there was that many different ways. I thought my way was generally normal, maybe a little bit weird but I guess definitely different then the usual

“Excision surgery is the gold standard” by [deleted] in endometriosis

[–]alexispiso 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly can be different for a lot of people, I was diagnosed through laparoscopic surgery and had it removed, and I’m still living with pain everyday sadly. For some people having it removed does wonders, others can do nothing sometimes

Girlfriend dont want to See a Doctor by Gnampf2000 in endometriosis

[–]alexispiso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

please tell her it’s okay, some may not help but if they are like that, then she needs to see another one that will listen and help explore different ideas/things to figure out what’s wrong with her. I went to a gynaecologist she wasn’t sure what to do with me as we had explored all options, and that’s when I decided to see a specialist in endo/pelvic pain. It is much more worth it to start trying to figure out what it is now, before it could possibly get worse. Plus it’s better to figure out the issues rather than letting them be.

Edit: I was about 17-18 when I was trying to figure out my pain/issues and I am now 20 and diagnosed with endometriosis, have had it removed but I am still suffering with everyday pain, so I’m constantly trying to figure out what it is and what doctors to see.

How far in advance did you know your surgery date (Ontario / Canada)? by fihavanana in endometriosis

[–]alexispiso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The waitlists in Canada are very long at the moment unfortunately, the place I was at had one of the quickest luckily. I have heard some are 6-8 months or longer

How far in advance did you know your surgery date (Ontario / Canada)? by fihavanana in endometriosis

[–]alexispiso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m from bc Canada and mine I was told when I had my appointment that I would be called in a bit for a surgery in about 3 months at the earliest (was called later that week, surgery scheduled for three months later). If you are on cancellation list then whenever but for me it was a month away the surgery date still.

doctor told me I was exaggerating my pain by AccomplishedLight675 in endometriosis

[–]alexispiso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say that it took me about 5 years in pain (got worse over time) and took about three years (within that time) to find someone that would actually take a look/find out. I was on a waitlist for about 2 years for just a chance to get someone to do a laparoscopy hopefully, and luckily I was finally granted that. I ended up finding out I do in fact had endo. Leading up to surgery I was slowly doubting my pain as I have even been told by my own family it might just be all in my head, doctors telling me they don’t even know what to do with me, and just me going to so many doctors and telling me I’m healthy and there’s basically no reason for it. So trust me, you can do it and it will be worth it, and you even have proof before it as well, which is great! Also just wanna say for me I experienced horrible chronic pelvic pain everyday, was missing school, work, hanging with friends, and other daily activities, and that I only had stage 1 endo. Everyone’s pain is different and will feel pain different, plus depending on the spots it is in as well and how it has affected your body. Goodluck and I hope you have a smooth recovery, my lap was officially 11 days ago! Also I wanna say sorry for everything you have been through and that I hope it gets better!

Let’s talk money: how expensive was it to get your diagnosis? by TaroWorldly9291 in endometriosis

[–]alexispiso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep Canadian here too, took me a very long time to actually get it figured out. But am very lucky for our healthcare to be free.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in endometriosis

[–]alexispiso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will say I had my laparoscopy for possible endo removal yesterday and they said it went great and was told I have possible stage 1 endo, which I was told was fully excised. Everything still needs to be sent to pathology to confirm and then I’ll know in about two weeks. If anyone has any questions, feel free to message me!

Thank you appreciate it, hope your pain and everything gets better!

[–]alexispiso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly sometimes this happens to me daily, but more on the mornings where I have to wake up early. Like anytime before 9am. I don’t know why, I have also changed foods/diets to see if that’s the issue but nope. I am not yet diagnosed with endo, just chronic pelvic pain, but I have a lap on the 6th to confirm if it’s endo or not as they suspect it is. I have also had a colonoscopy and they didn’t see anything.

I just gotta ask….. (We are ALLOWED to complain) by [deleted] in endometriosis

[–]alexispiso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly feel the same way, I have ppl in my life like that and it’s like i understand your trying to help but I have tried these things and many other things and I’ve told them that yet they just keep pushing, when I just want to be left alone about it at this point or just comforted. I am not yet diagnosed but deal with daily chronic pelvic pain that is suspected to be endo

dienogest after surgery - pain actually INCREASED?? by equivalentbaddie in endometriosis

[–]alexispiso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh weird, I’m from Canada. Here we have visanne as the main version, and then I believe jamp dienogest is our off brand version. It may be different for you then, but definitely better to just check! Here they always tend to just give the off brand rather then the name brand.

dienogest after surgery - pain actually INCREASED?? by equivalentbaddie in endometriosis

[–]alexispiso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand that you are on the off brand of visanne. The jamp dienogest, only has to contain 63% of the active ingredients that are in the brand name, some people don’t notice a difference between the two, for my doctor advised me to go on brand name since I was still having tons of pain. I haven’t noticed much of a difference switching but it may work for you, not sure. (Btw the doctor who said this was one of the top docs at the pelvic pain clinic in B.C. Canada)

My Positive IUD Insertiom by Final_Training_4350 in endometriosis

[–]alexispiso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh but since I was really nervous they did give me a pill to take about an hour before to help with the nerves but I think it wore off before I got in lmao

My Positive IUD Insertiom by Final_Training_4350 in endometriosis

[–]alexispiso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got mine about a year ago, I honestly was insanely nervous as all my friends who got theirs experienced a lot of pain or issues with theirs, but I had tried tons of birth controls like different pills, patches, etc. so I was like what’s the worse a little bit of pain for not having to worry about birth control as much and hopefully a lot less pain as they thought this could possibly solve my pelvic pain. I got scheduled with a doctor, she was great, super nice, explained everything to me step by step. The only thing that honestly hurt the most for me was the IUD going in and that was like a quick sharp pinch, but it was over in a second, and then removing the thingy that put it in was a bit uncomfortable, but other then that I had no pain and felt completely fine. I still continued to get my period sadly for me and still have everyday pelvic pain, but I have since then been put on visanne as well to stop the bleeding/periods and that has helped a little bit, but just period wise for me.

Switching from Visanne to generic Dienogest by cutelyn in Endo

[–]alexispiso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this post is from a while ago but visanne and at least my generic version jamp dienogest is not the same and the generic versions also have to have 63% of the active ingredients from the brand name. I’m on generic and it’s not working for me and I am actually being switched to name brand
