|  | | | | Be upfront about your illness to everyone who needs to know! Your school, your university, your workplace. I’ve tried to hide it before and it got me in a lot of hot water when having days off because of an illness they didn’t have on record! TELL PEOPLE ABOUT ENDO | | — Twix |
| | | Diagnosis was tricky. When I changed to a new PCP and she listened to my symptoms, she was the first to be concerned enough to order an ultrasound. The ultrasound revealed a mass and I was scheduled for an exploratory surgery. They referred me to an OB specialist who was able to remove the mass and insert an IUD at the same time. That was almost 2 years ago. Since then I've been pain free, my periods have been incredibly minimal, and I no longer have to take 800-1600MG of Motrin just to get through the day. I should also note, I didn't realize that heavy periods were a symptom of endometriosis, until they were no longer an issue. I've probably had it my whole life and just never knew. | | — Kshanti |
