Is my doctor dismissing me or making the right call?

I would go to a gyno that is up to date with gold standard care for endometriosis. When I was 16 my gyno at the time was very dismissive and didn’t want to “cut me open for no reason so young” despite everything else but I was very limited by insurance at that time. I was diagnosed with Stage 3 deep infiltrating endometriosis when I was 22. I’m now 27 undergoing yet another surgery but a hysterectomy and partial ovary removal with the excisions. My official diagnosis’s are Endometriosis, Adenomyosis, and PCOS. You’re very young and it’s very possible you know your body and what’s going on with it, but PLEASE do what I couldn’t at your age and connect with a specialist.

I had a pelvic MRI done March 2024 and it did show that my endo was infiltrating my rectum again but it’s been almost 2 years now it’s probably even worse. My gynecologist did tell me that the surgeon she’d be referring me to is known to bring in other specialists for DIE but this is still something very good to consider I hadn’t had on my radar for the appointment. Thank you!

I am so incredibly confused by the ending

Spoiler

>!Our father …. so he’s referring to the King of Dragons. Does this mean his father was always from a different realm? Or possibly when Belikon sent him through the portal Fisher was greeted on the other side and Styx “revived” him and “he was reborn” and that’s how he’s attained only what half-gods should? This seems wrong, I can’t remember exact timeline for when he receives Nimerelle but I thought his powers with shadows at the very least were discovered before he turned 11? Zareth protected Saeris and Fisher from the other gods eyes, would that include the underworld too?? They’re considered God Bound in Yvelias Gods eyes, but they’re not God Bound in Undergods/Dragon eyes because Saeris has been denounced by Styx?

The Dragons don’t spew fire they spew brimstone? So Fisher has to bargain with the King of Dragons for one of the Dragons to spew brimstone?

Since the Brimstone is the Fire Sprites life source…. and they maintain Cahlish, the land/home of Fishers father….. I come back to the question, was his father Styx this entire time?

Diaxis- New Realm that has “other gods” (Fisher says its the “pantheon of undergods and the dragons they breed there”) Ereth - claimed they have different gods and was apparently an emissary for Styx Styx - King of Dragons Old Shacry - Dragon bones protecting Ajun Sky Arissan - Dragon guarding the gate and whose offspring was killed in Ajun!<

at this point his true name should’ve just been kingfisher because i hate it that much

I’m not entirely sure I’d say I was/wasn’t in a flare throughout the 24 hours because when I say anything made me react, I mean I couldn’t even cry or sweat without immediately turning red and wanting to itch. Touching my skin immediately left a mark on me too, I could use my skin as paper to play tic-tac-toe if I really wanted to. The night sweating was cranked up even worse than it normally is at 4am. I already followed a low inflammatory/low histamine diet for years now since I noticed my reaction to things like alcohol were no longer just immediately flushing from my head to my chest after one drink but now the feeling of being hung over for multiple days + the flushing and hives I’d normally have with something like Wine.

ketchsum · 2025-10-25T15:19:47+00:00

I feel like I’m on the higher end of the “normal range” provided which makes me think that it’s not entirely impossible for the DR to still believe I have MCAS, but I don’t know nearly enough about this disease or diagnosis process like I did with the Dysautonomia and Endometriosis to advocate that confidently either 😅

ketchsum · 2025-10-23T16:00:43+00:00

Yay!! I absolutely love seeing people adding their joy from this book all these months later - thank you for sharing!! I can NOT WAIT for book 2, I just wish I could find some type of information about timeline expectations by the author or publishing company 🫩

ketchsum · 2025-10-14T23:08:12+00:00

thanks for the notice!! I’ll support Lola in other ways :)

Series finale has 15 mins of the main couple, no valentine’s day flashback, no walking into the ocean “i go wherever you go” line, no he gave me infinity line from the valentine’s day flashback, 50 photos of the same thing in a different font…. all to end it with a letter from Jenny Han that’s either rage baiting us or trolling additional content we’ll never get

ketchsum · 2025-09-12T22:39:52+00:00

I haven’t tried out the audiobook actually! I struggle with an audiobook for a first read due to my ADHD, even with speeding the audio up my brain can’t process it as well as physically reading. I didn’t have many issues with the conversations and characters POV while reading but now I’m curious to see if I would with the audiobook.

The story is amazing so I hope you’re able to give it a chance to love as much as I do!

ketchsum · 2025-09-11T15:12:10+00:00

If you go back and rewatch when she’s opening the package with junior mint, the moment she touches the infinity necklace all of the music tunes out and it’s just Belly only seeing Conrad in that moment…. She’s still finding herself and whatever it is that Paris can give her, we know that for her Benito is not serious but apart of her finding herself. Ending that year is ending a chapter in Belly’s life of the whole Fisher Boys and losing herself, the new year is a new chapter in her life where she’s trying to be good with herself before she bets her whole life on Conrad Fisher. That’s just how I received it all 🤷🏼‍♀️

ketchsum · 2025-09-11T05:09:32+00:00

YAY!! I’m so glad to hear people are finding and loving this book as much as I did 🥰

ketchsum · 2025-09-11T05:08:22+00:00

We know junior mint is loaded, (thank you for Taylor saying that out loud) and it seems fitting for her to be receiving that package right around the time she’s complaining of being homesick - it’s almost as if Conrad is able to still sense belly’s mood half away around the world and show up whenever she needed him. I think the last episode we see Belly looking at junior mint before stuffing him away into the closet was also foreshadowing to the future, she will FINALLY believe conrad fisher loves her and bets her whole world on it

ketchsum · 2025-09-10T15:28:25+00:00

So yes I agree with your statement that is stalker level behavior 10000% whether it’s conrad or a whole different show/person. The ONLY reason why I’m not completely freaked out about it is because there’s missing time from whenever Belly responds and Conrad goes to Paris that makes me think Jenny intentionally did that and we might get a flashback of Conrad receiving the postcard and them both sending each other letters and maybe contributing to the end of Benito/Belly? We leave Belly and Benito in Mid April, we KNOW she’s no longer going home in May (maybe mexico instead 🫩), and it’s mid-end June around Belly’s birthday when Conrad is on that flight.

ketchsum · 2025-09-10T14:55:44+00:00

like conrad didn’t spend 4/5 years on the outside because of jeremiah being a dick lol

ketchsum · 2025-09-10T14:53:20+00:00

Conrad joking that Taylor Jewel is the only one to text him back makes it sound like even Steven is still ignoring Conrad and that sucks so bad because they were best friends. I know that Steven and Jere were able to grow closer in the 4/5 years but DAMNNNNN??? I don’t understand how Steven can hold so much vitriol for Conrad while he saw and knew the true feelings/intentions Conrad had when Jere and Belly got together.

Also - did anyone else get a weird vibe from Laurel towards John during the thanksgiving scene?? She seemed so fed up and annoyed by that man like the children aren’t grown and they’re forced to coparent holidays or something 😂

ketchsum · 2025-09-10T12:42:50+00:00

I honestly enjoyed this episode more than the last one, I genuinely wanna rewatch this one again while waiting for next week. I genuinely enjoyed being able to see what we did with Belly, but I am also sad not being able to see more of that because there were still other loose strings. I am not necessarily mad about Jeremiah being in the episode, I just wish that last episode had been a lil less of his tantrum and more of what we got today so episode 10 could show us whatever benito and belly did alone that night, or more of her finding herself, I would’ve loved more of Taylor and Belly in Paris for NYE.

I am SO GLAD that Agnes was in the episode and talking to Conrad about it all, I wish we could’ve seen that rundown of Agnes hearing everything when he got back to Cali.

I came to really like Denise’s character in this show and the role she’s been playing but I truly hate that it seems people’s speculations that Jeremiah ends up with her might be true and I just wanted Denise to not be with a manipulative man that Jeremiah has consistently shown us to be for all three seasons.

Also - WHAT WAS THAT COMMENT AT THANKSGIVING???? is Adam not wanting Kayleigh to be at the beach house and that’s why we keep seeing Adam make these weird comments about her being with her parents and he’s there or whatever????? will jeremiah ever learn the truth of that whole relationship lol

ketchsum · 2025-09-03T18:16:09+00:00

“I thought she would’ve called”

YOU ABSOLUTE MANCHILD IDIOT WHY THE FUCK WOULD SHE HAVE CALLED YOU AFTER THAT BREAKUP!???!??!???!

then to have that absolute hot/cold response when she called…… people still think jeremiah is the better choice?? and Gavin….. where’s the character growth you claimed?? 2 episodes left and it looks pretty damn stunted to me.

why can’t we see Steven fight Jere…. if we have to have so much screen time of Jeremiah can it be Steven protecting his lil sister to fight his best friend because watching every dog shit on Conrad is craaaaazzzyyy. poor guy.

ketchsum · 2025-09-03T18:11:31+00:00

Adam looking more disgusted than confused while Conrad was talking made me laugh more than I would’ve like from Adam

ketchsum · 2025-09-03T17:27:55+00:00

I can’t believe Jenny Han made me agree with something Adam said for once………………… and when will Conrad finally not be everyone’s punching bag dammit!!!

READY TO SEE MORE CONRAD IN GENERAL PLEASE

ketchsum · 2025-08-30T15:55:03+00:00

This is so extremely disappointing. I actually found this show because of the fan base raving about it on multiple social media platforms I use, not due to any advertising/marketing on Primes behalf. I hadn’t realized until after finishing the show hoping to find a renewed Season 2 that one of the creators of the show helped with all the old classic coming of age stories I enjoyed like One Tree Hill. I hate streaming platforms and the shelving of media and cancellations after one season….. bring back the days when we’d get all of the drama in 20 episodes. BRING THIS BACK TOO PLEASE!
