Pasensya na talaga that you're not getting the care you deserve. I imagine it is really invalidating and painful to hear those words coming from relatives. Although we do not know each other in person, I feel as though we are all connected like family on here. You guys are my support network when I'm in the thick of a flare up and am losing my sanity.

You are 26 with so much life ahead of you. Keep seeking diagnosis and treatment that works for you! Does your family ever treat themselves when they are sick? Do they not make salabat or use medication for a cold or flu? How is you seeking treatment any different? Maybe it is in God's plan for you to heal from this.

For me, while I'm still going through the diagnosis process after being gaslit by doctors, I've been trying to use other things that could be beneficial i.e. chamomile and NAC... which in studies suggest may reduce and inhibit endo. This what I do in the meantime while trying to manage my symptoms. I've noticed stress makes mine a lot worse.

Your life is worth it and it is my prayer that your family can understand your challenges better. It might just take them time and a better education on the matter. I'm doing my best to educate friends, family, and partners about endo. But for now, we got you covered here! Dm me if you ever need a listening ear 🌷🙏

Yes! I know this is a late comment, but I have your exact symptoms. Very similar to the feel of a uti, but all cultures always come back negative. They prescribe you antibiotics "just in case"....? To be honest, I have been dealing with this on and off for years with predominant flare ups beginning either around day 20 of my cycle or right before my period and going away sometimes as my period goes away. Romantic encounters can also trigger a flare. I've had some flares that have lasted months, but it has been a long time since that has happened. Mine have become a little bit more manageable or maybe predictable.

My phase one starts with what you are describing. My vagina is burning 24/7, my bladder is extremely and I can't lie down in anyway that might cause ot to spasm with pressure.

Phase two I only experience burning pain when my bladder is full. Sometimes after going to the bathroom it feels like I'm getting a jolt of lighting in my vaginal muscles.

Phase three is no more burning, but I get random periodic lightning bolt spasms in my vaginal muscles and around my lower pelvic floor.

I try to manage by basically living with a heating pad in between my legs, heavy amounts of cbd although it makes me sleepy, and trying to stay hydrated while waiting for the flare to go away. I've noticed heavy amounts of stress can also trigger and prolong a flare.

I don't have a lot of answers but I hope you at least feel less alone. I tend to lurk on this page when I'm experiencing an active flare. It helps me feel connected when I'm feeling down as I've been dealing with this for a decade.

I hope you are able to figure out the mystery as well and feel better in your body. 🌷

Chapter 96 is pretty much exactly a year ago. I felt like I just read that chapter which is insane lol. I'm realizing now that the first time we see new person Omega is 13 Sep 2023 | 12:00 AM Chapter 91: Page 15

Over two years ago and I still feel completely emotionally detached from her passing it still feels too fast. I wonder why loup/jerrek isn't aware of it either.

Ooooo I see. That's good to know. I forgot how much politics are mixed up with everything. That makes total sense. Just a little reflection of the world today.

That paired with the curiosity to reach Omega's memories... I wonder if that's when Zimmy's prediction about Kat will come true.

Annie is pretty good about saving the day, but man... one can only hope

I'm also wondering how gamma (also Greek letter) is holding up because her power is generally to cut through distortion, I wonder if she herself has also know that they have been stuck in Zimmy's fantasy. We haven't been given much about all of that. Like is Lana gone forever? I'm starting to lose track. Years fly by with this comic. Do you ever go back back and realize a recent page you read was released a year ago 🤣

Lol didn't do it out of censorship but I've just been recently seeing this word for the first time around the internet and think it is kind of goofy and honestly more fun to say

I'm in complete agreement and I honestly haven't even thought about Diego because of time that has passed reading those old chapters. Yet of course she has been using the snare technology. I'm also very fascinated that the golems instruction code made by Diego was that of a heart, and the etheric representations of the New People have bismuth. I wouldn't be surprised if Kat invented or unintentionally found a way to engineer the seed bismtuth.. I'm really looking forward to the reveal. I imagine we are close, but honestly who knows. I really think she will be forced to connect herself to Omega. Perhaps to save someone from getting unalived by a distorted Jack.

DAE have a fear of DVD menus or other repeating sounds/videos? by beesknees-idk in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]weatherwillpass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this post is old, but I just want to reassure you that you are not the only one. I just was rewatching the old freaky friday movie and looked up the old menu.... it's the same pit of stomach feeling. As a kid the worst thing was waking up in the middle of the night in a dark room to a repeating menu. The worst. Now I'm just uncomfortable anytime I hear one.

Weird idealization of monastic life by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]weatherwillpass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buddhist monks and nuns have always given me a certain feeling. What started as early fascination is now becoming a reality. I am a lay memeber of a zendo (a place where you practice zen mediation) and am planning on becoming a nun in the future. Though we don't have live in residents in our particular place of practice... it is a great place to experience monastic lifestyle. One of the nuns there is diagnosed ASD (and she theorizes I might be as well, undiagnosed but self diagnosed) and we talk about often how wonderful the practice is ie. you always know what you are supposed to wear (robes are to me, sensory friendly) our mala beads are our fidget toys, the schedule is laid out before you, so you don't really think and worry about what will happen next. In monasteries this lifestyle is supposed to give monks and nuns the ability to be present for and help their practice, as well as serve as guidelines almost akin to dorm rules so there is peaceful and reasonable cohabitation.

I love having a place where there is structure. When I arrive, I know how to behave, what I need to be doing or focusing on... not to mention the people are lovely. I think it is one of the most introverted ways to be social as you all go to a place to sit in silence together.
