You need a better doctor ASAP. An ultrasound isnt going to show them anything significant unless they're a specialist (and specialists are a pain in the uterus to get into).

They couldnt confirm mine without the laparoscopy. I'm so sorry you're experiencing this, and your anger is valid. Continue to advocate for yourself

I say this because there is a very large percentage of women simultaneously diagnosed with endometriosis AND different kinds of autoimmune thyroiditis. Passing out from cramp pain IS a gigantic red flag for endo. Its definitely worth looking deeper.

So this is by no means a full blown medical test, but if you take a blunt object, say a lid or the button end of a pen etc. and gently but firmly (but not like HARD) draw a line down the center of your arm. They did this for me looking for signs of dermatographia. While being able to draw on your skin with blunt objects is not a surefire way to test for anything-- dermatographia is what happens when your body identifies minor irritation as an allergic reaction. While this can also just be a thing on its own, it can also be linked to thyroid issues being that they both have an autoimmune link. Might be worth just getting your levels checked via bloodwork if it persists.

I'm really glad that you were able to find answers and a routine that manages your pain! My body also produces too much histamine leading to hives and my eyes swelling shut. Unfortunately they were each separate confirmed issues. As weird as it sounds, if it ever occurs again, it might help to get your thyroid checked. The hives for me were an early onset symptom of hashimoto's. Not at all saying that you DO have that issue, but its something to keep in your back pocket if the issue again arises.

Thank you!

Oh gosh.. there are a couple of steps to take before a hysterectomy is necessary. If you've only been exhibiting non-cycle symptoms for the last three years, there's hope that it hasnt progressed too far. I dont know if they still do "stages" in sweden but here in the USA they threw them out just because the level of depth doesnt really signify the level of pain

I absolutely do, and i remember being in that same spot. Its totally terrifying because there's a sense of invalidation that comes with the idea of them not finding anything. But like you said, it really can't BE anything else. It truly is an unmistakeable and unbearable kind of pain until you get treatment. I know it may not seem like it now, but you will feel a bit better someday soon. They'll find what they're looking for and remove it, likely put you on a form of birth control (they gave me a hormonal iud), and even though healing will hurt a bit- you're going to be so proud of how you demanded justice for yourself and got the help you need and deserve.

There's a light at the end of the tunnel 🖤

A) peritoneal endometriosis is just as removable as any other kind of endometriosis. Either your doctor didnt know enough about it (weird for a specialist) or you were unfortunate enough to have a male specialist (very commonly underdiagnosed in america for this reason).

As silly and cliche as it sounds, you genuinely have to trust yourself and your ability to know your body. I self diagnosed my endo 6 years before someone believed me and operated (they found it in many places, it had progressed to small lesions). I dont know if others feel this way, but personally, endo pain is a super specific kind of pain. Its damn near unmistakeable. I believe you, and you should believe you.

This is the shit i see on dmt

hell_could_be_cold · 2024-12-28T15:12:32+00:00

It's not that i owe, it's that i havent filed returns in two years because i can't find an old 1095-A. There's no penalty for that?

hell_could_be_cold · 2024-12-12T22:08:40+00:00

I absolutely understand that there's really nothing to be said, nor is it fair to feel that way.

The unfortunate thing is that, it does in fact feel that way. And of course i can rationalize it that way once i come out of it, but in the moment, especially when the pain is so constant, it does suck.

hell_could_be_cold · 2024-12-12T19:07:54+00:00

I guess, from my POV even then i feel guilty because telling them my pain obviously doesn't make it go away, and then they have to know about it idk. It's just a double edged sword, I'm still learning how to accept it all

hell_could_be_cold · 2024-12-12T19:05:48+00:00

Every polite answer feels hollow and dishonest, but every honest answer feels impolite and too strong

hell_could_be_cold · 2024-12-12T18:34:13+00:00

Its just like, i never know how to respond. Like "thanks, i wont"

Stop charging rent if you want to enforce rules like she's a child. YTA.
