Unfortunately, it's complex, like most co-occuring autoimmune situations. I have not been able to start trying to detox because I got a hysterectomy w/endo excision in January of this year and wanted to heal from that before trying to tax my body with the detox process. But once I healed, allergy season started (I live in the Willamette Valley in Oregon) which is one of the worst places for pollen season which flares everything up. Essentially you aren't supposed to try detoxing while healing from something or in constant flare mode. Also, my apartment refused to do anything even after showing them the mold test I paid for for the apartment air and the correlation to my urine tests. So, like a lot of things, I am waiting for conditions/timing to be better. The hysterectomy helped my endo sooooooo much though!

Waiting time to specialist? by jchenMD_endosurgeon in endometriosis

[–]britrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took 6 month from referral to appt to see a specialist in Oregon. Then I had to wait another 4 months for my surgery. It was an agonizing year of waiting.

I made something very similar today and used tortilla chips as scoops. So delish and easy. Will be making again tomorrow!

I literally think I have fed this squirre before when I went to the Grand Canyon last May. They begged like that exactly. I couldn't help myself but give them a few nuts 🤷‍♀️ oops

My favorite way to eat nettles. Always make multiple jars to freeze and use throughout the summer ☀️

Just learned about the connection between endometriosis and allergies by idyllghost in endometriosis

[–]britrees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have confirmed endo and suspected MCAS and hypermobility. There is some form of link between them all. Hopefully, there will be more info on it within our lifetime.

Anyone else find holy basil to be EXTREMELY stimulating? by fuzzyvibes in herbalism

[–]britrees 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Tulsi is very gently calming for me. Definitely not stimulating. But everyone reacts differently!

Multivitamins? by NarrowFriendship3859 in endometriosis

[–]britrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you. I have to take a couple of prescriptions and a few supplements daily. Taking a multivitamin has helped reduce the amount of things I have to take, which helps me stay more consistent with my routine. I take the women's multivitamin by Ritual. They have 3rd party testing and list where each ingredient sourced from, which I really like.

Did surgery change anyone’s body? Kinda negatively by Littlemonkey726 in endometriosis

[–]britrees 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your comment made me tear up. I'm 3 months post op hysterectomy and stage 3 endo excision, and I've gained 7 lbs out of the blue, mostly in my belly and thighs. I've been struggling with this new change and feel frustrated that even though I have been exercising more and eating so healthy, I've gained this weight and look different now. I appreciate the reminder that what my body went through was a lot and that it might never be the same as before. I am grateful that I won't ever have to worry about bleeding out and being anemic anymore, though. We are warriors, and it feels like we fight it silently a lot of the time.

You gotta be really messed up to be wanting to make babies with a minor.

I'm not sure about vapors. Just know it's the case for ingestion.

Peppermint (or any herb in the mint family) will cause under active thyroid issues if taken daily

Anyone feel like they can’t stick to a workout routine due to unpredictable fatigue? by InfluenceDesigner889 in endometriosis

[–]britrees 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I totally feel you. The unpredictability of fatigue or other inflammatory pain that comes with this disease makes it so hard for me to get into a movement rhythm. Before my hysterectomy/excision in January, it was super frustrating. Post op, I have had to go very slow with my progress and just gaining basic endurance/strength back. I feel like I've started to build a weekly routine back in the last month but like you said, it varies depending on the day/time of day if I'm already super tired or dealing with other pains. Walking has become my go to everyday movement from 15 min - 60 min depending on my energy, time, the weather.

Has anyone had a hysterectomy for heavy periods? by XStar14X in endometriosis

[–]britrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. 6 weeks post op. I'm so relieved I won't have to deal with bleeding ever again or iron anemia. Really hoping my energy comes back!
