Considering getting it because I want the world and some of the build buy.

I've had transvaginal ultrasounds in the past. Most recently besides the one I just had was in January 2024. Nothing was observed on the cervix then. I did have cervical pain when they would do Pap smears around that time. This pain started right after I had a very violent pap smear by a male doctor after he just rammed the speculum inside with no warning and wrenched it open. I bled for a week afterwards. I switched GYNs and told the new GYN that I had pain when the cervix was touched but she didn't see anything at the time.

My gyn told me there was no one in my area who was specialized to perform surgery to remove/treat endometriosis if they found it. She said she couldn't do it. But when I googled endometriosis specialist, one came up in the same town. It says he is trained in MIGS. Was she wrong or is there another credential I should be looking for when researching?

I just got back from a camping trip with my sister and her kids. They are little kids. We were only gone for like two days, but I feel really sad and depressed being back home. I’m totally fine when I am by myself for long periods of time. I only feel sad after I’ve been around people for a little bit. This happened to me last year too when I had family come to stay with me. The house was filled with kids and adults. Usually, it’s just me and my cat. I’m single. I don’t have a lot of friends and one of the friends that I do have, I see maybe twice a year. I work remote, so I don’t even see my coworkers in person. The only socializing I get is if I go somewhere like a store or something.

My sister is married. So her house is always busy. She always has plans it seems. We live close to each other, but I don’t get to see them as often as I like. My parents are also close by, but they don’t wanna see me or talk to me all the time either. I’m in my late 30s and I don’t want to date anymore because of bad experiences. So I don’t think my life is gonna change much.

Does anyone else feel this way?

It was so bizarre. She’s having a baby with this guy and doesn’t want him to feel pressured to come to the appointment regarding said baby. I just felt sad for her. He was at this appointment and waiting with her. So it made me also think what it took to get him to show up to that one.

Currently on HRT (continuous) and my periods are very heavy and last 8 days. They have always been heavy, even before HRT. So it’s not the HRT. I’m currently having severe pain elsewhere in my body and each time I get my period, it makes it more difficult to handle the other pain. Can I take something to stop my period for a few months and remain on HRT?

I took two different Lofta tests. The first one I was taking a muscle relaxer and it said I had mild sleep apnea. I was sleeping in a bed other than my own when I took the test. The second test I didn’t take any muscle relaxers and hadn’t taken any for days. I slept in my own bed and it shows I have moderate sleep apnea. I went from 12 events an hour to 26 events in an hour. What would you make of this?

I got great physical therapy 6 years ago from a hospital physical therapy practice (outpatient). My PT gave me 1:1 care and I never had to wonder what I was supposed to be doing.

Today I went to physical therapy at this joke of a corporate facility. First red flag was that they just had patients names (first and last) on paperwork just sitting out for anyone to read. Second red flag was that the physical therapy assistant was calling the physical therapist Doctor. This PT has his masters degree. He isn’t a doctor and didn’t earn that title. Third red flag was when I was explaining what was hurting, my official diagnosis from an orthopedic doctor, and explaining how I got hurt in the first place, the PT was giving me a look like he didn’t believe anything I was saying. He even told me the doctor note said that my arms are strong. Uh, excuse me? I told him I’ve been injured for six weeks and I can’t even reach around my back to do basic things and putting on clothes even hurts. I am not strong. My arms get tired very easily. I have bilateral shoulder impingement and that’s all they could diagnose me with because the doctor said I needed to do PT before he will order an MRI. Fourth red flag was that he maybe spent 10 min with me in 45 min I was there. He was going around to other patients (like 5 other people) and then sitting down looking at his cell phone. Then at the end he tells me that he can’t see me twice a week like I was told and that I can only book one appt out and that he’d like to send me to another town which previously told me they weren’t taking new patients. Then he tells me that this time of year, he will probably be booked up soon through December. Then after I left the office called me to give me a phone number supposedly for the scheduler at the other clinic and when I called it had no name (personal or organization) in the voicemail. Just said leave a message.

The last month or so, I’ve been having a lot of sweating every day. And the smell is worse than it has ever been. From my armpits, specifically. I don’t know what to do. I already use deodorant. I have been taking the Dotti patch .1 mg twice a week for over a year. I haven’t had this issue since starting it, aside from now. I’ve been experiencing a lot of stress as well due to not feeling well. I’m not sure if stress makes people sweat more? Like literally I’ll be sitting there with dry armpits and then I’ll get really stressed and I’ll have wet armpits. Help.

I’ve developed two new food allergies since I’ve been in perimenopause. Symptoms are swelling of the throat. So it’s pretty scary. My PCP acts like I’m a hypochondriac because I’ve been having all these health issues and I’ve had to go to the doctor multiple times in the last month for different things. I feel like I can’t even get a referral from her to go to an allergist because she only has 15 minutes to spend with me and I have too many other things to discuss. But I’m super concerned about the throat swelling with these two new food allergies to foods I was never allergic to in the past. So has anyone ever tested for food allergies through any online places?
