I would really love to see this community come to life. I’m a 22F & I suspect I have endometriosis. I have no other social media (I deleted instagram, facebook, & reddit earlier this year) and I don’t want to feel like I’m alone in this anymore. Is there anyone out there?

    Hey, I’m so sorry, I didn’t see any notification of your message! And still not really used to checking my comments due to my lurker past 😂

    My second surgery went very well, but the recovery is a removed. They removed an ovary and an endometrium with a 6cm diameter, a lot of peritoneum that had growths and scar tissue on it, endometriosis nodules on my diaphragm and large endometriosis spots that formed on the scar of the last operation on the top of my vagina. They also removed a piece of my intestine and multiple adhesions.

    It’s four months later now. The first two months I felt great, because I was in a lot of pain before the surgery and that was gone. But in month three new pain flaired up. My doctors think I’m in chronic pain territory now, where my brain has learned to be oversensitive for pain. I will soon be starting with a treatment that’s specialized in re-training your brain. You can read and watch a informative video about it here: www.tamethebeast.org/ I think it’s very promising!
