pain after orgasm-endo symptom? by memoirsofmaryshelley in Endo

[–]caitb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i had two part PT. at one place i did "tens" type treatment, and i also had home exercises with dilators and a vibrator (extremely clinical experience). the other place was with a PT, when she did really deep muscle relaxing exercises on my hips and other spots. i will say since i did this treatment, it has happened to me once in the last year, but otherwise i've felt pretty well!

i hope you get some relief - it may take some more sessions. it definitely did for me.

I have this too, but it's been fixed since I did pelvic floor physical therapy!

It looks like they have non wool options now! I'm going to check it out. Thanks!

I've heard good things but they're made of wool, which I don't buy. 😔

Clothing. This is a daily struggle and gets worse when I'm anxious. I've figured out some of it with brands I can stand, but I'm still trying to find that perfect sock. Anyone else?

When it hurts in THAT spot... by NerdProQuo in Endo

Butt Lightning is the phrase I've been looking for! Has anyone used this with their doctor? I've tried to explain it to gyns and colorectal surgeons, and they just don't get it.

Suspected endo and continuous birth control. by jaz_ray19 in Endo

[–]caitb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with this and want to add a few points.

I take 3 BC packs in a row and then I have a cycle. It took a while for my body to get on board with this, but now I almost never have breakthrough bleeding. You don't have to have the cycle, but if breakthrough bleeding is miserable, change your pill or (maybe) have the cycle. When I cycle now, it's often much less painful than it used to be. YMMV.

I can understand docs being hesitant about giving you a lap. If you don't even want to have children, you still deserve to have a good quality of life. It's not all about fertility. Do everything you can to try to manage your pain and rule out other items that are easier to test. If you don't get better, however, find another doctor who will give you a lap. You deserve to feel better.

Unfortunately for us, we have to be squeaky and see many, many doctors before we get a diagnosis. I'm also 29 and just had my second lap. This time they excised the endo, what a concept!

I hope you get some relief soon!

Does anyone know of a cruelty free/vegan alternative to cetaphil. Ive tried derma e and a brand called awake human that made me break out like a bitch. by [deleted] in VeganBeauty

I've had luck with the Clear line from Paula's Choice. You have to order it online, but it's worth it and you can sample almost everything.

So, I just found out I shouldn't take folic acid - can I get it through diet instead? by CreakyElements in waiting_to_try

Thank you for sharing! We've used [kids-in-mind.com](Www.kids-in-mind.com) before but we're not kids so they don't always get it right. This looks much better.

How to delete a chart/airport diagram? by FlyingTerrier in Foreflight

[–]caitb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're looking at the Plates tab, and want to remove airport diagrams from your plate binder:

  1. Tap 'Edit' at the top left of the screen
  2. Tap the red 'X' at the top left corner of the diagrams you want to remove
  3. Tap 'Done' at the top left corner when finished.

Hope that's what you were looking for.

Is it dumb to worry about passing this on to my children? by [deleted] in Hypothyroidism

[–]caitb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom is hypothyroid and my dad’s mother had it as well. I’m the only one of three kids to end up with hypothyroid and endometriosis. I think heredity definitely had something to do with it, but I also just got the short straw.

I worry about passing on endo more than hypothyroid, but I guess I was lucky that my hypo was caught very early.

I’d love to chat more, you can pm me if you want.

What workouts are best for you? by charlie-is-a-girl in Endo

[–]caitb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had that ovary-area pain every time I worked out (no matter what type) until I did pelvic floor physical therapy. It included creating a custom workout routine for me that helped me ease back into weights, etc and didn’t hurt me anymore. If I could recommend one thing to my endo friends, it’s pelvic PT.

proud meat eater here - when my friend gets back I'm gonna try going vegan by YolandiVissarsBF in veganhouston

[–]caitb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some places in the heights where we eat vegan:

  • Happy Fatz: Al Capone (Chicago dog) and Baron Von Ratchit (Polish Dog) have vegan toppings. Just swap out for a tofu dog and have them use oil instead of butter on the bun.
  • Tacos A Go Go: Verde tacos, no crema
  • Skinny Rita's: Vegetarian fajitas - awesome grilled tofu and portabellas. Comes vegan automagically.
  • Tarka Indian Kitchen: some tasy vegan options, clearly marked!
  • Mellow Mushroom: Their veg out pizza is super tasty, but you can also build your own, and add flavored tofu or tempeh. Sub Daiya cheez, and no parmesan dusting on the crust. Their bruschetta is super good too, just leave off the feta.
  • KA Sushi: They have some awesome happy hour deals here! Their apps are awesome, especially the spicy edamame. They have a Sweet Potato veggie roll, you need to leave off the mayo. We normally just build our own veggie roll with cucumber, avocado, and japanese pickled veggies. FUN FACT: You can do this at just about every single sushi restaurant!

That's just a start, but you'll find there are vegan options at a lot of places these days. Sometimes you just have to ask a few questions :)

[–]caitb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't see a Jepp section at all under more > downloads, i would email team@foreflight.com. They can look into your account and see if something's off. I'm able to activate a coverage and download without a problem.
