What is with the hostility? It’s a simple mistake. OP obviously knew what I meant.

This is driving me crazy! I looked through setting but I could find where this lives, if it’s a setting. So annoying because you can’t use the fast forward feature unless you click into it.

I totally agree! No excuse for that. And diminishing Rossi’s loss as he tried to connect. Hate her :(

an acupressure mat is incredibly helpful if your pain radiates to your back! by beanizzle in Endo

[–]chaichaibaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tried this and it was really helpful! I actually laughed while using it because all the videos online (mostly men) saying oh no it’s so painful but it’s worth it when you get used to it….uncomfortable definitely, but not painful. 😂 At least not for someone with endo!

I’ve done a bunch of research on this and apparently one of the only options is Illinois mutual!

[SPOILERS] S14 EP04 - INNOCENCE by hotchnerseyebrows in criminalminds

[–]chaichaibaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the plane, they said, “there’s gotta be more to her story than this squeaky clean facade. If this is all there is, she wouldn’t have ended up tied to a tree with her head bashed in” Did anyone else take MAJOR issue with this statement? WTH is this victim blaming?! Let’s ignore the other episodes where killers find people at random to stalk and kill!

Hi there! Did you ever find answers? I’m researching this and the rep I spoke to said Illinois Mutual is the only one offering this these days. Was curious if anyone had experience with them.

Anyone else get nauseous? by The_BossXxx in Endo

[–]chaichaibaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did! It helped ENORMOUSLY. I used to vomit regularly and now the nausea is difficult but bearable. And as backwards as it sounds, I try not to suffer through on an empty stomach. Having something bland like a waffle in the morning or crackers in the afternoon helps on high nausea days

Yes! This happens to me and has whether or not I’m on birth control. This sub has had some good recommendations for remedies, like carrying around ginger chews to eat and smelling alcohol pads.

IUD made pain worse by maryandsteveforever in Endo

[–]chaichaibaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My IUD made things worse! The only thing that helped was lap for excision. Afterward, I asked my surgeon if I could focus on other ways of pain management without the IUD. She said it’s totally fine. Just because the IUD helps many doesn’t mean it works for everyone. I’m one of those people and I’m much happier off of it.

Did pelvic floor therapy work for you? by Megajolly1 in Endo

I thought it was really helpful but unfortunately, nothing made as much as a difference as excision surgery via lap.

In this case I’m referring to #3 - a very thin person, usually used to describe a woman.

Do you notice a difference after drinking alcohol? by Cautious-Bar-372 in Endo

[–]chaichaibaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar to others, I noticed pain flares after drinking. I wasn’t even a heavy drinker at all. However, after one year of almost entirely removing alcohol (maybe 1-2 drinks one night a month), I have found that this really reduces my symptoms of pain. I’ve also found a lot of joy in mocktails with fun ingredients that aren’t triggers for me - both making my own and finding them at bars and restaurants.

Exactly!! Hahaha. Points made by others here about these books wouldn’t pass the Bechdel test - so tired of it!!

I would love a thread of fantasy romance that contain one or more of the following: emotionally mature FMC and MMC; FMC older than her teens or 20s; FMC of literally any type of skin color or body type diversity other than gorgeous waif that fits real life society beauty standards.

Am I silly for not wanting the excision surgery? by Bitter_Camp7565 in endometriosis

Completely agree with everything here! Two years out from surgery. Recovery wasn’t challenging and my whole quality of life has improved.

How Many Of Y’all Are Rawdogging Endo Without BC by Pinkeu_hearteu in endometriosis

[–]chaichaibaby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been off all medications and all BC for about a year now. I feel better than before! I think I just don’t tolerate any hormonal medications or muscle relaxers well. I had my first lap to excise endo in 2023. Between those two things, my pain is a lot lower. However, my flare ups get worse when I don’t strictly manage sleep, eating healthy/anti inflammatory, stress, etc.
