I am genuinely really curious.
I personally think it is very lazy for a Halloween skin and my wallet will be safe but I want to see how many people actually agree or disagree
I had no idea it even existed until I was diagnosed!
Not hormonal enough for PCOS, not showing Endo on my scans, I literally was trying to figure this out for TEN YEARS with my healthcare providers until one doctor suggested doing an internal scan for the first time which showed Adenomyosis, surprise surprise.
I feel like if I had heard about it, I would have been able to advocate for it sooner, but I genuinely did not even know this was a thing. Is it just rare??
I feel like I have to tell everyone now if they're having period pain and it isn't endo or PCOS they've got to look into this because my life has improved so much since getting diagnosed.
I got my hands on a brand new never used sewing machine, I’m so happy I could cry
Hi all,
I grew up in Bristol but moved away when I was about 12. I visited Leigh Woods a lot growing up and one thing that I always remember was we'd get to a part of our family walk where there was this clearing with a big pond/swamp thing and in the middle was this half sunken Jeep / Car thing.
I randomly remembered it today and I have so many questions! Is it still there? Why was it there? It was in the middle of the woods, how did it get there? Does anyone have any pictures of it?
Thanks guys!
Sincerely a curious redditor
EDIT: spelled Leigh Woods wrong!
Hi everyone, not sure if anyone will read this but if it even helps one person I’m happy. Late diagnosed here, been in pain since my first period at 11 years old, am now 23. It’s so bad- but I know I don’t need to tell anyone here that. Here are some things I’ve found work for me personally. Not saying it will help everyone this is just me!
Helped me manage:
• Codeine: but be so careful with this. Many people can get addicted- I just find this is the only painkiller strong enough to even touch the sides of my pain. I have a formal prescription from a GP and I associate taking it with also being in excruciating pain so no chance of me getting addicted, but if you are feeling stuck on pain management I will say this has helped me a lot. I take a dose once or twice a day for 3-4 days on my period and that’s it.
• Heat: I do find a hot water bottle helps I think it’s just mental because I still am in a lot of pain but it’s comforting
• Loose clothes: I never wear tight fitting clothes on my period it’s just not worth it. I find anything pressing on my abdomen makes me feel ten time worse
Things that have not worked/were a waste of time/money for *me personally*:
• Oovi tens machine: didn’t even touch the sides of my pain. I may have been using it wrong- please feel free to correct or suggest in the comments.
• Exercising more: didn’t help, did chloe ting workouts every day / other day for five months and no change in pain levels
• herbal teas/supplements: genuinely a joke but again if anyone has found one thing that has changed their life let me know I’ll try anything tbh!
Please add on in the comments if you like so we can share and maybe help each other :)
