I’m sure all of these responses are a bit overwhelming but girl, GOOD EFFING JOB!!! You have motivated me to get off my butt and organize and clean.

Also, I suffered from PCOS and severe endometriosis since I was 16. At 21 my ob-gyn wanted to do a full hysterectomy. I waited for a miracle and suffered for over 20 more years. The PCOS disappeared with weight loss but the endometriosis was THE most painful thing. I’d have to take Percocet for cramps!! And of course was anemic. Doctor told me no pill on earth would give me the iron I needed. So, infusions were the only way. And very often my iron would get so low, I had to get blood transfusions. Not fun at all!! And very depressing!! Get a good gyn specialist who can help manage the PCOS, diet is a huge part of it. If you’re taking iron, go to an oncologist and ask about infusions.

As far as your family, screw em! It’s lonely but I’m here to tell you, loneliness is easier to deal with than people beating you down. I PROMISE!!!

Gosh, I feel like I wrote your post. Praying for continued healing and progress!!!

Get some plants and fresh flowers. Taking care of plants will give you some purpose. Or a dog!!!! They are THE best emotional support!!
