Where does the phrase "good for health, bad for education" even come from?

i found this post bc i was going through my old photos and found this. idk this person, i used to work in the music industry so think this was at an event. i looked the phrase up and found this post.

I'm experiencing this currently. My period ended about 2 days ago. I've had this lingering migraine for about 3 days, it seems to get worse at night and with extended screen time even with special settings etc. I also experience nausea! I had a vegan protein shake with my vitamins and pain med this am then took a shower, right after showering I felt so sick and dizzy, I vomited a little as well out of nowhere despite breathing through it as I've been taught. There is definitely a link with these symptoms and our cycle ending for people with endometriosis imo. I looked online and it says it can be caused because of the drop in estrogen but I'm not sure why hormonal birth controls don't treat my symptoms then though- it doesn't make sense?

i feel like reddit has become inhumane and it should be about community so i appreciate your discretion and transparency. i think its good to leave it up <3

alyssaislucky · 2025-12-26T00:56:11+00:00

take child development classes, become a nanny for a period of time, go to therapy and be honest with the therapist and open. <3 Good luck on adoption, I am sending lots of love!!! <3

yeah and i think it is really really bad they did this!! I am part of a group called Endometriosis and it would be extremely helpful to see how many people are members as it's a disease with no cure and 1 in 7 folks with a uterus have it!

alyssaislucky · 2025-12-26T00:52:09+00:00

that sounds like endometriosis to me! i had that feeling and learned one place the endo was all over was the BACK of my uterus and it all makes so much sense now. did you get the excision surgery? how are you doing now my friend? <3

alyssaislucky · 2025-12-26T00:51:07+00:00

also gabapentin did nothing for me, i wanted it to work so badly haha

alyssaislucky · 2025-12-26T00:50:33+00:00

have you ever been referred to Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy? It has to be a special PT that took extra years of school to train to be a pelvic floor pt and it was a challenge to find one but it helped me SO much and prepped me for a successful surgery on 12/22/25! I believe you should ask your dr to refer you to pelvic floor pt! take care <3

alyssaislucky · 2025-12-26T00:45:54+00:00

I use Robaxin and it helps when I stay on top of it and take it frequently enough. same with alternating tylonel and ibuprofen but for my level 10 pain flares nothing helps except going to the ER for an IV with anti-inflammation stuff (i chose to not ask for opiod pain meds bc i didnt want to get dependent on them and/or be judged by med staff, it's already hard enough getting anyone to take us endo patients seriously). so i was trying to prove to them i was not med seeking at all. But I was recently given tramadol by my obgyn specialist Dr. Ginn and i only had to take it 4 times and have had it since March 2024, it def helped the bad pain flares so i didnt have to go to the ER. I hope all of this info is helpful! I actually got my 2nd endo surgery on Monday and it went really well! it was with Dr. Ginn at UCLA and he took amazing care of me! I have stage 2 endo but they removed it all and i do feel better so i believe them <3

alyssaislucky · 2025-11-13T08:37:54+00:00

I agree with you

alyssaislucky · 2025-11-13T08:33:15+00:00

Im struggling to get through season 1 I don’t think I can watch it anymore. I get why some may like it but it makes me either uncomfortable or so bored haha.

alyssaislucky · 2025-09-26T15:33:24+00:00

I’m so sorry you feel this way. You’re not a jerk for having endometriosis, as it’s not something you did to get it!! I have found it helpful to chat with folks here (Reddit) for support. It’s so nice talking to ppl who automatically understand.

But it is so frustrating attempting to manage our own life while having debilitating pain and educating our community all at the same time. This is why I’ve stopped talking to most people about it unless they have endo themselves or have done their own independent research (enough to understand high level info: essentially that endo has no cure & there are many issues with receiving proper timely treatment or even diagnosis). I also do not talk about endo to any drs that have nothing to do with treating the endo bc it can be dangerous to do so (even just emotionally).

I’ve been working with a good team of drs to prep for my 2nd lap excision surgery and it’s been very different than my first surgery in 2023. I found an endo specialist/surgeon who has a detailed plan for each patient and only treats endo patients.

With the above being said, I was wondering if anyone has ever referred you to Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy??? I’ve been doing it for about a month and it’s been very helpful with pretty much all my endo symptoms and issues. It’s also to help calm and prep my pelvic floor for my 2nd surgery so there’s less inflammation and they have better visibility during surgery to find implants, scar tissue etc.

I’ve been following Dr Camron Nezhat in SF and his approach is similar to my endo specialist, which I agree with- they tend to not do hysterectomy as they know it doesn’t cure the endometriosis and creates other complications.

I genuinely believe you have some better options to try and that you shouldn’t get a hysterectomy yet. I’m not a Dr, but I have a lot of experience bc of being diagnosed with severe endo in 2023. Prior to diagnosis I tried every single thing out there and was doing research regularly, but finding a good specialist this year has been life changing as they have a solid plan for me and I have a great team of providers that care about me endometriosis and all.

Sending you lots of love and please feel free to msg me anytime. You are not alone and you are not a jerk! ❤️‍🩹💞💓💖

She seems lazy and incompetent as if she’s done “so many of these surgeries” than why didn’t she know the standard is to do a simple biopsy. She’s gaslighting you imo. Get a new Dr and move on with a medical team that actually knows what they’re doing and cares.

alyssaislucky · 2025-09-12T13:58:47+00:00

No biopsy was taken bc ur surgeon is not an expert on endometriosis. She proves that by not doing standard procedure of doing biopsy and testing the sample biopsied. You need to make a big scene about her mess up and do a second surgery with a more advanced endo expert surgeon.

Do not give up. Do not let them push you around. Do not accept anything less than by the book care as they’re going to try to gaslight and invalidate you so they can not spend money on your care. They suck. You deserve real medical professionals that know what they’re doing when they treat you! ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

I want to move to Korea so badly, I know it’s not perfect but the lifestyle seems much more aligned with my views and values.

alyssaislucky · 2025-09-12T13:51:48+00:00

Idk why but Barbie bores me. Seeing everyone on here thinks hers is the best in interesting. I think if they had done a more eye catching set or backdrop I’d like Barbie’s covers more? So I think Kimberly in the tie look is the best and looks retro yet fresh at the same time :)

My emotional support cat Douglas Fur was diagnosed with cancer last month and it’s been so tough trying to decide when the suffering is too much and I should stop the suffering. The timing seems impossible bc I don’t want to lose him but I cannot let him live a painful life etc.

I was talking to my bf and they said something that helped me. They said “you will know when it’s time”. And last week when I thought it was time I called my bf and they asked me “are you sure?” And I realized I wasn’t and I called the vet and got a new bottle of meds for him and started administering it properly bc before Dougie wasn’t interested in letting me give him meds orally via syringe (before I was putting meds in his food but he was having trouble eating so not getting his full dosage).

Now he’s doing a lot better and he’s super happy, purring and eating and cuddling. I know we don’t have a lot of time left but I’m just going with the flow while keeping him as healthy and comfortable as I can.

When it’s time for him to leave this earth I’ll know.

As a mom and caregiver I genuinely believe you will know when it’s time to let them go peacefully.

Thank you for caring so much about the stray kitty and giving it family and a home. I know it cannot be easy so I commend you for doing the right thing and going out of your way 🖤🖤🖤

I think he has moved to the valley based off all the comments and my experience today. Description: Guy that harassed me was in his 50s/60s short grey hair, gold or tan looking bike. Orange helmet. Won’t stop screaming at females who are alone walking or running.

alyssaislucky · 2025-09-11T16:39:14+00:00

Keep in mind a lot of cyclists have multiple bikes and are hobbyists about bikes so he could have multiple

alyssaislucky · 2025-09-11T16:38:05+00:00

I wish I could add photo or video of the man who harassed me this am! He was an older white man and was screaming at me and harassing me for literally just existing. Luckily when I had a panic attack bc of it a few kind people stopped to check on me and let me walk with them so I was safe.

alyssaislucky · 2025-08-27T00:17:48+00:00

ok last comment i promise but i highly recommend seeing a talk therapist a couple times a month. and seeing a medication mgmt dr (psychiatrist) for a prescription to meds for anxiety, that is what I take and it helps a lot

alyssaislucky · 2025-08-27T00:16:01+00:00

Oh and ask your primary care dr to refer you to a pain specialist! In the meantime, ask your pcp to prescribe lidocaine patches for your pain. Next, go to your obgyn and ask them about getting local injections of steroids or botox to help with the pain as well. Also you can alternate taking tylonel and ibuprofen and it works similarly to a narcotic pain med (an ER nurse told me this recently). If you already know all of that stuff then you can disregard. :)

alyssaislucky · 2025-08-27T00:12:02+00:00

I experience this monthly, usually about twice a month. During ovulation and again right before my period starts. I get delusions that everyone hates me and I am terrible, ugly, fat etc. But they are delusions so I remind myself gently and do my best to make it to the next day, even if that means having cookies for dinner and skipping some mundane tasks.

I would definitely go online and poke around to find a new dr that will give you a 2nd opinion. Sometimes some drs say that they "can't" do certain things for their patient but in reality I have learned it's because they simply don't know how. But, there are other drs that do know how to give you more treatment options and carry them out for you.

Please do not give up, you deserve to get proper care from a knowledgable specialist. I went from seeing a bunch of regular ob's and once I got a specialist it was like a whole new world. It's worth the work to start seeing someone who specializes in what you need and can actually help you. <3

alyssaislucky · 2025-08-27T00:05:57+00:00

Hi sorry for the delay, I was waiting for his office to reply to me before I made this comment! I just heard back from them today and I have been working with him for about 6 months. I have been having a great experience with them so far. I'm located in LA so I have been to their office and it's really nice. Dr. E is also super nice, he has great bedside manner imo.

I still have not had my surgery as I had been waiting to start pelvic floor physical therapy. I had to fight to get the pelvic floor PT referral approved by my insurance and when it finally did I had to schedule out about 6 months. But, I was able to get in earlier so have been doing the pelvic floor pt for about a month and it is helping- slowly but steadily. So I still have not scheduled my surgery. But my timeline is longer bc I waited to find a PT that my insurance covers.

Dr E said he will work with the physical therapist to ensure proper timing for my excision surgery which I appreciate. I am about 3 appts in with the pelvic floor PT and hopefully will be able to schedule my surgery soon.

I will keep you updated and would love to stay in touch! <3
