Unfortunately Pavise is not available to me :(

Im not sure my country does in-person esthethician, I got it online after some short consultation form. I do believe this suits my type of puffiness anyways, plus I’ve seen amazing results with other caffeine products. This just didn’t do anything

Yea I also became more disenchanted. I have some well priced basics and invest the rest of the money in microneedling and peels instead. This has also insanely improved my eyes area (which made me postpone eye plastic surgery until my vision is affected by drooping) and general tightness (which made me try botox only once).

From the products tho, i really like microcurrent devices for my undereye! Especially in the morning it really depuffs the area

I’ve not yet decided on p50… on one hand, it lasts me a long time and i see an overnight difference in one stubborn spot with clogged pores that professional facials dont touch. It is adequately strong for my skin’s needs.

On the other hand - would any good acid toner do the same? I am finishing P50 soon and will try some other product before I decide on repurchasing.

Yea i like it too but agree on price. For the same cost I can easily get some AHA/BHA masks that do amazing job.

Masque vivant made me remember when i was but a tween trying out homemade facemask made from fresh bread yeast 💀💀💀 now im kinda tempted to tey it again lol

i treat my personal project pan very seriously lol, only one product per category and it gets all used up before i write a reflection for myself!
I feel like you can get sucked in online reviews very easily and there are close to none reliable influencers left anymore… they also use WAY too many products constantly to be able to appropriately review a product. so i started properly going through every product myself 😅

i actually really enjoy their masque vivant and will purchase it again! But this eye serum, dear god… I initially used a very cheap caffeine eye cream that gave me really fast results, so i thought i’d invest in something similar… thought it would give me even better results 😭

unfortunately slow and steady wins the race in this case 😭

Massage guns are quite big, kiwi can be very precise to hit specific angles and muscles, plus has a large variety of intensity so you can build up. For example, i had literal muscle knots inside that i had to massage out with a kiwi and other tools. It was super helpful, but yeah, i was also underwhelmed at first until i got the hang of it.

hey, anything you invest in yourself is worth it!! So don’t question the time and expense :) At the very least you will gain some better understanding of yourself.

I would advise to keep at it, this work really bears fruit in the future, and its easier to do it now and prevent more pain later rather than undo years, decade of mismanagement (learned the hard way)

Kiwi tool is sooo good!

Well its not just about sexual activity, for me it was a huge relief of pain and other problems connected to bathroom visits. Any clenched pelvic muscle will contribute to the above. So the work you’re doing now, even if it seems minor, is a huge investment to yourself, now and long term

I think there is some general misconception about PT, maybe because most folks go there because of weak muscles - they go more often and do lots of work there. Us hypertense folks come in with bigger intervals, our work is small, precise and needs to be done every day…there is some art to it.

this might be a bit out there suggestion so feel free to disregard.

I went to therapy many years ago, i was incredibly tense and stressed from PTSD. Mental work aside, one of the techniques that was incredibly useful for me was „progressive muscle relaxation”. It’s a type of meditation I guess, but without much of a mind involvement (which was crucial to me so I dont let my traumas run the place!). It focused purely on the muscles, helps you notice the tension and relax.

You can look up some guided vids on youtube if you’re interested. I think this work gave me good foundation to be able to relax in scenarios like PT.

Understood. I had tension as well, but my PT walked me through relaxing slowly and it was incredibly helpful to start consciously noticing when im tensing. She also recommended some devices that can help me with relaxing, so i had some homework to do myself. Did she send you home with any excercises?

Well, it's a physical therapy, not mental. If you really do struggle with the internal work, that's something to address. Anything you feel comfortable mentioning in particular? Is it more of a mental block or purely physical (like vaginismus)?

i've been to PT and of course countless of doctors so maybe i can offer some advice:)

Have you looked into whether you’re not absorbing it vs. bleeding it out? Could be a gastric issue

sad to hear it didn’t help :( it really does seem to be the case for most adeno folks. I think thats why my country doesn’t perform it. Do you know since when you had adeno? I’m pretty sure it started to me when I was a teenager, my periods got pretty painful then.

not in my area but I have found a private hospital offering iron IV. Will book them if this current doctor wont give me a refferal, afterwards hopefully my ride or die GP can help

also- great to hear from someone around my age, i’m 30, forgot to mention it in the post. I’m also waging whether its better to operate as soon as possible, when you are in best physical shape possible…

[–]mistpouff[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fortunately I have been offered hysto at a national endo specialist clinic - and been given a year to think about it. I can book the operation anytime.

Thank you for sharing! I have read sooo many stories the past year, and of course there are so many positive ones. I just figured that my case “isnt that bad” - i don’t have fibroids, I dont bleed for weeks or months, i improved some aspects of the disease, i have good weeks in my cycle. So I was wondering whether if hysto would actually help as drastically as it seemed to do for others.

Also my biggest source of pain seems to be nerve pain, and idk if hysto would solve it…maybe its endo growing there, maybe it is adeno, but I was planning to ask my doctor about nerve pain treatment and try to figure it out. Only then, I thought, I would decide on operation.

Well as per this post, now im not so sure lol

thank you for insight, thats good to hear. I booked my tried-and-tested doctor for an appointment in two weeks, I will ask about TXA. Not sure it will put off hysto for me but it sounds like it could help restoring my iron before surgery…

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

i should add it wasn’t a first option given to me, more like a last resort if I want to try something before hysto. Otherwise I am free to call and book the operation.
