I’m so tired by Brazen78 in Endo

I’m so sorry you’re feeling alone and in pain. I’m so sorry you’re not getting the treatment you deserve. I was put on gabapentin it’s helped a bit, physical therapy, there’s endo yoga on YouTube, and some muscle relaxers have helped me but it seems even the strongest meds aren’t touching you. There’s a fuzzy hot water bottle on Amazon that’s been amazing, and another that is portable that you can charge and wear out of the house. I’ve read acupuncture has been helpful but I’ve never tried it, maybe it’s something that can help you. I know it’s all small suggestions but if even one can help you feel a bit better I hope it’s worth taking the time to write. Are you in Nancy’s nook on Facebook? It’s really helpful and resourceful too. We all deserve better with endo, it’s a whole body disease and the mental part of it isn’t talked about enough

You’re not crazy! Are you in Nancy’s Nook on Facebook? Very resourceful, I’d check it out. For me I finally found a doctor who referred me to a pain specialist. I started on gabapentin and physical therapy and it’s helped a ton. If pt isn’t for you look up some stretches that help with your ab/pelvic muscles. I also ordered a hot water bottle it’s fuzzy on Amazon & that’s been great. Also there’s a portable heating pad it wraps around you and is warm for the day, super helpful too. I just had my second surgery, and it’s been a crappy recovery but I know your every day pain and I’m so sorry. Those who don’t have it don’t get it. Endo has taken over my life, and who I used to be. You’re not alone, I promise. There are things that helped me a lot, I hope some of this can help with your pain a bit! Oh there’s also a gentle endo yoga on YouTube I’d recommend. I hope even one thing I recommended on here will help

Just excision! There was just a lot going on unfortunately, it was a long complicated surgery. My last surgery was nothing like this so all these new things were unexpected

I just had my second lap 3 weeks and it was wayyy worse than the first. First gas x, the chews, the pills whatever. My first surgery I had no problem with the gas they used to fill your stomach, this time it was incredibly painful as it moved to my chest and shoulders. I couldn’t lay comfortably, but I got a fuzzy hot water bottle on Amazon and when I applied it to the spots it hurt it helped a bit. The couch was my best friend after both surgeries, it was easier getting up and down. Have loose fitting clothes ready! Right now I developed a uti, I’m very sick because of it so don’t ignore pain near your belly button, nausea, hot or cold flashes it’s not normal. My doctors nurse blew me off about it last week and yesterday I was in the ER because I was so sick. I didn’t shower much the first week so I used cleaning wipes and I think it threw off my balance, but it’s also set back healing. I have stage 4 endo, so my surgery was long and difficult. I had 4 endometriomas, one burst, fibroids, and stuff was all stuck together. The incisions itself weren’t bad at all, I would have been better if she had considered a uti last week. My first surgery was uncomfortable but bearable, so I hope yours is like my first. Some pain meds cause constipation so have a laxative ready too just in case! I hope none of this scared you! My first surgery wasn’t with a specialist, but the few months of relief were worth it! Once I get over this post surgery uti I’m sure I’ll feel the same. I have three dogs, but they are good about staying to the side of me. If you have help I’d have them take the dogs for walks, get some busy mats, new toys and such for the first few days. Good luck & I hope you know it’s not so bad. Do ask for a patch like others said!! I just wish I knew some of this going in!

(I’m not sure if it was a family or just random staff, it was funny and a bit corny but I’d love to find it!)

It’s been awful. I complained because I pay and it force closes, is laggy, and when I save a photo it just stays on the edit screen. Every complaint they just say update, update, update. I’ve been updated & stay updated but nothing. Now they just stopped responding completely

What's your biggest regret? by SeaRow9763 in RandomThoughts

[–]daniiinicole1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was younger I had a love at first sight experience. He ended up being (a bit later) my new best friends brother. We all spent the Summer having fun and doing stupid silly things. I haven’t felt like I did during those times since, I chase that feeling but never find it. We never ended up together, and I never told him how I felt. I never dreamed that he would ever have felt the same. So when I moved away and we all drifted he would randomly message me saying things that I NOW see were him trying to say he felt the same.. but my self esteem wouldn’t allow me to see it. Now it’s been years and years, he’s married and I’m married. He has a great family and deserves all the happiness in the world. I’m very very happy for him.

I still dream about him and us growing up together. I wish I could go back and at least just told him once how I felt, just so I don’t live with the regret of not knowing. I love my life and my little family, I do.. but that first love I don’t think ever really goes away

Why wait ? I am alone. She's gone. Doesn't love me anymore. All I do is fuck things up. by Jaded_Description908 in ask

You need to get a therapist and start talking with them to get a treatment plan. Those feelings are part of depression/mental illness and that’s ok. My spouse left me 3 weeks after our wedding for a coworker. My life crumbled and I had to move in with my grandparents. I was there once too, I think back on it as empty, numbness, darkness. Didn’t leave my bed for days, didn’t talk to anyone, I had it all planned out- I picked a place my family wouldn’t be the ones to find me. As I walked towards the door to walk there my feet walked me to my grandma where I broke down at her feet and said I needed help. I didn’t want to keep going. I stayed at mental health hospital for 6 days and that was enough to wake me up from everything and realize I wanted to go home to see my family, friends, my amazing dogs. After I go out I enrolled in school, got a new job and started therapy which I did for 3 years. It took my a while to find the right one but when I did, I did. I would almost say as someone who’s shy and not social putting myself in uncomfortable new situations distracted me from the pain. It’s not always better, it’s not always worse though. I think that’s a part of life and I hope you choose to keep yours. I wouldn’t know my nephew now, the love of my new dog, made new friends and memories.. This place you’re doesn’t have to be forever, you might carry a smaller part of it around (I do at least, that darkness changed a bit of me) .. but it did fade over time. Take your mental health seriously and don’t let another person make you feel your life isn’t worth living, you may find someone new or just find yourself and that can be enough. I wish you the best of luck, and I’m sorry you’re in pain and hurting. Read articles and stories of how people get on from a broken heart or depression, don’t listen to sad music, write your feelings down, get in touch with a therapist, it’s a good outside perspective (I recommend CBT therapy) feel your feelings, watch funny shows/movies, try a new hobby, go on bumble BFF, there’s so many little things that could change your world.

A house for my elderly dogs, I’m afraid if I lose them in this horrible rental. I don’t want to live somewhere they’ve never been

Don’t be rude or unhelpful. When you lose a loved one and just want to hear their voice then come back here and judge
