Post any stories, information or questions about endometriosis in this Padlet!]]> 2023-02-19 08:50:16 UTC https://padlet.com/letstalkaboutendo/letstalkaboutendo/wish/2487449991 I got diagnosed with Endo after a year and a half of suffering 🥹 https://padlet.com/letstalkaboutendo/letstalkaboutendo/wish/2487528628 My period cramps had always been bad. Day 1 and Day 2 would always leave me reaching out for painkillers and I would be in bed for most of the day. It was also common for me to get multiple bowel movements during the first 2 days of my period. But a year ago, I noticed I started getting excruciating back pain. It was really painful, even lying down did not help. The pain sometimes stretched out to my left feet. I also started getting pain on my left abdomen and this was beyond my period. I thought it was because of my diet, so i started increasing fiber intake. It helped a little but I still had left abdominal pain here and there and lots of bloating. Was so unsatisfied so I went to a hospital for some help for my bowels and was told I just had ibs. Fast forward 6 months later, nothing seemed to change and worst, i started getting bigger blood clots during my period. That was my last straw :,) Finally got the courage to bring myself to a gynaecologist and poof… 2 huge cysts on my ovaries. It felt so validating and asssuring despite the scary looking scan. It’s been 6 months since the visit and i’ve been taking visanne. The pill has stopped my periods and my cysts have decreased in size. I have lesser bloating, and I dont have any left abdominal pain anymore :) Life has not been the same and I am happy I reached out and took a step for myself. To be honest, it took me so long because I was scared my concerns and worries were not “enough”. Ultimately, I basically gaslighted myself into thinking pain was normal. Please please go get check if you think something isn’t right!!! I promise you that whatever it is, you’ll be glad you went to check :-)

Endo patients like us rely on Visanne to manage the endo symptoms. One box of Visanne, which lasts 28 days, costs around $90-$80, which patients from lower incomes may not afford. https://padlet.com/letstalkaboutendo/letstalkaboutendo/wish/2490846049 2023-02-22 08:55:17 UTC https://padlet.com/letstalkaboutendo/letstalkaboutendo/wish/2490846049
