Yesterday I had the WORST period cramps in my life. Nothing was helping and I couldn’t sleep or keep anything down. Finally at 3am this morning I had my husband take me to the ER. They gave me medication and insisted it was just period cramps. I kept bringing up an ultrasound. They originally refused but I swore it wasn’t just cramps. They finally did an ultrasound and YEP. I had an ovarian torsion. My ovary had a huge cyst in it and it made my right ovary and fallopian tube twist TWICE. I had to be transferred via ambulance to a bigger hospital for emergency surgery. I unfortunately lost the ovary and tube but I’m no longer in pain. Had I not advocated for the ultrasound it could have ruptured and killed me. I never in my life thought something like this would happen to me. I’m 25 and in pretty good health. So please PLEASE advocate for yourself. You’re life is important ❤️

How do you fight chronic fatigue? How do you get housework done when you can’t get up?

My husband works nights, 12 hrs a day, 7 days a week. Luckily he’s very understanding but still. My chronic fatigue has been the worst these past couple months. It’s so hard to even get up and do dishes or a load of laundry. I feel like I’m failing and idk how to fight this fatigue.
