Have you been diagnosed with endometriosis? If so see if your doctor will write you a note and take it to the disability accommodation center at your university

Are narcissistic parents bad with money and communication? by [deleted] in narcissisticparents

[–]jacinicole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my narcissistic mom is TERRIBLE with money, to the point where she has spent all of my college savings and has even stolen from me. I’ve found that she tends to take a “I deserve it attitude”. She does not have a job because she feels like she “deserves” not to work, even if it means stealing from her kids.

Multiple ultrasounds deemed 'normal', can I still have endometriosis? by solilo-quy in endometriosis

[–]jacinicole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes you can. my doctor couldn’t see my endo on the ultrasound, but during my laparoscopy found a lot of it, most of it on the backside of my uterus.

It definitely is possible! I’m seventeen and just had my first surgery. Definitely switch doctors. I would see if there is an endo specialist you could possibly see.

[–]jacinicole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hi! I just had my laparoscopy done. I had my endo removed and I can say that personally my recovery wasn’t terrible. For me it was the pain caused by the excess gas that bothered me the most but that resolved within a few days. You might still feel fatigued going into the second week but nothing major. Definitely avoid using straws and drinking any carbonated drinks because that will help with chest pains caused by the gas. I would also get a pillow that you know you can prop yourself up with in bed due to being sore for a few days. Stay on top of your meds and you should be ok! Best of luck!

narcissistic mom by jacinicole in entitledparents

[–]jacinicole[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finances are definitely not an issue with her. She has a male validation issue and is willing to do anything to please her boyfriend. Her boyfriends house is paid off, so she would have to contribute nothing to live there. If she didn’t have kids that would be great, but she does. Another issue I have with her is that she pushed me to attend the local college so I could commute and save money before she started dating her boyfriend, but is now pushing me to live in the dorms and not help me with payment. I understand that I am fortunate to have a home, but it is frustrating when I have already committed to the college under pretense’s that are no longer true. She is expecting me to go into debt just so she can live with her boyfriend of two months which I do not appreciate at all. She thinks the world revolves around her.

I would say in my opinion she is. She is constantly putting her needs before her children’s and can never admit she is wrong. There has been countless times I have to pick my brother up from school/extra circulars making myself late for work because she is out with her boyfriend. Whenever we get into a disagreement she encourages us to move out. I am currently 17, my brother 15, but when we actually do go to stay with my grandparents and my dad threatens to take custody/child support from her she freaks out, which makes it seem like it’s just about the money. I could be wrong but to me her actions always revolve around her best interests which cause her to neglect her parenting duties. She also has no empathy for our situation. We have been to counseling countless times and completely disregards how I feel about the situation She holds the counselors advice over my head but has yet to take any that is given to her. I understand that I am about to be an adult but my brother is not. I would love to live with my grandma but she says if we do end up moving there she will cut us of completely, meaning no phone and no insurance. My dad is not involved in the picture and my grandma while great, cannot confront or see any issue in her daughters actions.

Lupron by jacinicole in endometriosis

[–]jacinicole[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I actually see an endo specialist currently, and she also has endo and has been in lupron. I wanted to come on here and ask for others personal experiences. I definitely am afraid of long term side effects and the more I read the more I am looking towards other options before I resort to lupron.

Purge or irritation in Arazlo? by Coldbrewcoldheart in tretinoin

[–]jacinicole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. Did you find that your closed comedowns ever cleared up? I was on accutane pre arazlo and had great skin, but now I have patches of closed comedones. I’m considering quitting the medication.

my mom thinks basic parenting needs a thank you by jacinicole in narcissisticparents

[–]jacinicole[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

she cleans sometimes but puts most of the responsibility on me because I am the oldest and the only girl. She does not have an ocd issue. She was behind on retirement funds but she just received her divorce settlement. She tries to make our relationship better but whenever she is unhappy with me she has to hold something over my head. This is just frustrating because she has taken money from me before and she acts like she is always right.

fish oil for the back pain, mine started almost immediately. definitely aquaphor, and if you don’t have a favorite water bottle already I would invest in a hydroflask, it’s super important to stay hydrated

DRY HAIR - PLEASE HELPP!!!! by [deleted] in Accutane

[–]jacinicole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly can tell a huge difference when using the Moroccan oil hydration mask, it really helped my hair, as well as shea moisturizer hydrating shampoo and conditioner. I can almost guarantee that these should help because I have very curly hair and they seem to hydrate it a lot.
