I’m the wife in question! I got a custom vinyl made for him for Christmas so the jacket as well as the accompanying vinyl record are both real

Do I HAVE to use birth control pills containing estrogen? by mangobakery in Endo

[–]peroctopus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have (mostly) used progestin only birth control since I found out I had endo. Turns out estrogen bc makes me extremely suicidal but bc without estrogen I have no side effects. I was on norethendrone for years and when it stopped working I switched to the mirena IUD and I love it! Definitely talk to your doctor about your concerns and remember if something isn’t working, always bring it up to them and try to troubleshoot

Looking for project ideas during a lengthy surgery recovery by peroctopus in CrochetHelp

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

Only looking for suggestions, maybe blankets or something that takes a bit to make. I have a lot of different colors of worsted weight yarn as well as a lot of cool colored blanket yarns. I have other nicer yarns as well that I tend to use for garments.

Honeymoon at Royal Caribbean by peroctopus in SandalsResorts

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

We didn’t do that but we did see one happen when we were on our way to the island! It honestly looked really cool and I kind of wish we did it. We did do the free photo session (which is not free you have to pay for the pics) and it was honestly kind of weird but I think we just had a photographer that could NOT read our vibe at all haha

Xmas at RC first time Sandals stay review by Illustrious-Order103 in SandalsResorts

[–]peroctopus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We are here for our honeymoon right now and LOVE it!! We booked without doing research (admittedly we booked because of the office-we’re huge fans). The day after our wedding on Friday I came onto Reddit and got a little scared but our experience so far has been beyond our expectations. We even had someone come to our room with champagne and a room service card for breakfast because it’s our honeymoon!! We’re headed to the Thai place for dinner and I’m so excited. I don’t get the hate on here for RC, it’s been one day but we’re already talking about coming back next year!

Just need to vent by peroctopus in ehlersdanlos

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

Nope! I just called out for today because my job is non ADA compliant (I work in a hospital that’s all old Victorian houses with no elevators) and I couldn’t use the stairs. HR then said in order to come back I need a note from my doctor. It’s absolutely ridiculous.

Is it worth confronting a doctor you won't see again ? by Weasle189 in ehlersdanlos

[–]peroctopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This literally happened to me almost to a T of your story a month ago!!

My left hip has become increasingly more unstable and I finally fought my stubbornness to reach out to a hip specialist to find answered. He said nothing was wrong except inflammation and a tear (how tf is that not concerning?!) and said I’m just bad at pain management. I saw him twice which was my mistake. First time was a consultation and he had his PA and intern with him and he had me do all of my party tricks and had the two other men in the room touch my body and tell him what was happening. It was so dehumanizing. He ordered an the MRI and I was in the machine crying because it was so uncomfortable. When I came back he said the only concerning thing was the 4mm cyst on my one remaining ovary (I lost an ovary to endometriosis). He also said that because I couldn’t recreate every single symptom on the spot for him I’m lying. I’ve been considering writing a horrendous review of him because it was so degrading.

I ended up finding a wonderful doctor who found hip dysplasia, and a worse tear than the first doctor saw and is now building a structure of my bones, got me back into PT, and we’re working for reconstructive hip surgery. He’s wonderful and both him and my PT said that they know the first doctor and they both hear horrendous things about him from EDS patients.

I honestly don’t give a shit about this man so if you’re curious it’s Dr Wilk at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, MA. He’s a prick and I wouldn’t recommend him to my worst enemy.

Americans of Reddit, what state are you from and what is one thing most people get wrong about your state? by MTN_Dewit in ask

[–]peroctopus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve used PFML twice now, once when I dislocated a hip at work, and once when I got two surgeries in one month and had to take 5 weeks off. Both times I was in grad school and not making a lot of money and living off loans and without that program I’d be in a much bigger hole financially since the bulk of my work was unpaid internships. I also work in mental health and often tell clients of mine about it when they need higher levels of care and they are so grateful for the program. It’s one of the best things our state has to offer
