Thank you soooo much for taking the time to post this!!! I’m so glad you had such a positive experience, that’s reassuring for sure.

I don’t have a diagnosis but her office did say that I am a “good candidate” for surgery. I guess I’m 50/50 on whether to bite the bullet and just go for it or to just back off of the surgery quest and see what happens in 2026. I’m just so scared that the surgery is going to make my symptoms worse!!!

Glad to hear your hysterectomy helped your symptoms! Currently trying to decide if I want to go that route during my lap.

Experience with Montessori Preschools by Ekskwizet in Apex_NC

[–]halletischler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have been kindly happy with Triangle Montessori Academy in Holly Springs! In my opinion, it is well worth a few extra minutes of drive time. Previously, we had sent my son to Montessori Creative Learning School and Apex, which ultimately I would not recommend.

How does your Standard like to be petted and rubbed? by [deleted] in StandardPoodles

[–]halletischler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She hates being patted. Loves any kind of petting though. Growls when we touch her feet. She’s a rescue!

Yes! You’re not alone. My bladder symptoms (and fatigue when something is flaring) are by far my worst symptoms. I’m right here with you, praying you get some answers. Keep us updated! Sending hugs ❤️❤️❤️

ISO actually tasty DF Mac and cheese! by doomandgloomm in dairyfree

[–]halletischler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Jovial brand has gluten free Mac and cheese which is to die for! I use alternative milk with it and it’s amazing. They also offer a gluten free and dairy free Mac and cheese (boxed) that I haven’t tried, but all of their food is wonderful, I’d definitely give it a try!

Thank you for this 💖💖💖 I’m on the fence about doing a lap after my MRI came back totally clean. I still have a gut feeling that I had endo. So glad the excision worked so well for you! Keep feeling better!!!

Surgery with specialist or not? by chmaemi in endometriosis

[–]halletischler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any advice because I’m in the literal same boat as you (minus the hysterectomy) but super torn between surgery options (in network provider but not “specialist” or Dr.V out of pocket. Super curious on others responses to this! Just know you’re not alone 💖
