Endometriosis Thread 3: Place for EndoWarriors

[belle1116]

Hi sis gusto ko lang ishare experience ko about my endometriosis. Last Sept 2017 una nag start yung pain, nahihilo ako at nagsusuka, nanghihina din ako sa sobrang sakit. Ngayong Sept 2018 lang ako uli nagpaultrasound at nakita dun na may 3cm chocolate cyst ako nagextend na din sya sa left fallopian tube. Sabe ng oby ko tuloy ko lang daw yung althea pills. Almost 6 months kasi ako nagpills, nagkaron ako ng withdrawal kasi mali paginom ko dapat pala 7days pahinga saka sundan ng bagong pack. Napansin ko hindi naman umeepekto yung mga pain reliever sakin. Nasearch ko na may mga supplements for endometriosis. Ito po yung mga iniinom ko ngayon serrapeptase, turmeric with bioperine, turmeric powder/tea,vit b complex & vit c, evening primrose oil,magnesium supplement ska magnesium spray. One week before my mens saka ako uminom ng mga to. Dapat before my mens sasakit na sya pero hinde sumakit, then Sept 26-27 nagspotting na ako hinde pa din sumakit, then ngayon Sept 28 malakas na yung regla ko, sumakit lang balakang ko normal naman yun pag nagkakaron pero yung puson ko hindi sumakit. Nakapagbantay pa ako ng shop, usually kapag meron ako ilang araw ako hinde nakakapagbantay at nakakaalis, bed rest lang talaga ako,tapos kapag tumatayo ako nakabaluktot ako sa sakit din ng sikmura ko. Tapos sa diet naman, hindi na ako ganun kumakain ng fast food, mamantika, more on gulay na. Sana makatulong sa inyo kasi alam ko kung gano kahirap may ganitong sakit. Sa Dec pa uli next ultrasound ko sana may magandang result. Hinde muna ako magtake ng pills, try ko muna yung mga supplements kasi effective naman sakin.

Hi po, kkalogged in ko lang po dito. Ask ko lang po kung may naka try na po kay Dr. Esther Ongkeko dito? Gusto ko na po kasi talaga mabuntis, hindi kasi ako satisfied sa last OB ko, wala sya ginawa kundi magreseta [textspeak!] ng gamot tuwieng check up ko.. How much din po ang fee ngayon. Salamat po.

I took Visanne for a year and 4 months, gumaling na ang adenomyosis (endo inside uterus) and adenomyomas (endo na nagbuo like cyst inside uterus) ko nawala so my OB said gumana naman sa akin. Side effects yes, fatigue, depression(am not sure how malala it is kasi di ko masyado pinapansin pag malungkot, just another day) occasional headache, medyo may weight gain din. So last ultrasound ko wala na lahat kaya my OB prescribed me with a lower dose na, birth control pills nalang na high in progesterone to prevent recurrence, basta i-take ko lang until such time mag-asawa ako and plan magka baby.

For endo sufferers, stop taking SOY, (tofu, soy milk) which produces more estrogen. This is according to my OB.

I Went to a naturopathy doctor din and sa kanya naman, stop drinking coffee (messes up with the hormones), stop cold drinks (nalalamigan ang katawan resulting to poor blood circulation), sleep early (for hormones), no stress (hormones), exercise (for blood circulation).

Pray din pala, kasi last time nahawakan ko gloves ni Padre Pio pinatong ko sa tiyan ko. Sabi ko ayoko maggamot nang matagal and magastos din kasi but i have no choice because I want to be healthy kaya sabi ko ipag pray nya ako kay God, samahan nya ako sa pagdasal. Ayun, 2 mos after nun nag ultrasound na ako, maganda naman results.

who is your OB sis?

Hello, may naka experience na po ba dito ng endometriosis na hindi cyst? Sabi kasi ng OB ko possible endometriosis daw to kasi everytime mag regla ako ang sumasakit sakin ay hindi sa puson kundi feeling ko sa loob ng muscles sa pwet ko. Walang menstrual cramps sa normal places na dapat masakit pag may regla. Sa TVS PCOS lang wlang mga cyst.

Nag search din ako sa google ng endometriosis ang pagkaka intindi ko [textspeak!] endometrial lining na nagseshed pag may regla is tumutubo sa ibang parts so kapag nag memens kapag nag cocontract sumasakit sa part na pinagtubuan.

Hello.

I have been diagnosed with Endometriosis since 2014. Now I am 30y/o and feeling ko nandito parin yung mga cysts ko. I still have dysmenorrhea monthly but di na ganun kalala unlike nung college ako and during my early years as a working professional.

Nagpalipat lipat din ako ng OB until nag stick na ako sa iisang OB. She's an OB from Asian Hospital.
And she's the only OB na natapos ko yung medication ko. I took Yaz for 6 months and natapos ko siya by May 2020. Nakakapanghinayang lang kasi di na ako ulit nakapag follow up check for trans v kasi di madalas mag clinic nun yung OB ko sa Asian Hospital. So I think nawalan lang din ng sense yung 6 months medication ko.

I personally requested din sa OB ko na ibigay saken yung pills na di nakakagain ng weight, hence, the brand I guess. But I had palpitations nung first 2 months kong tinitake yung pills.

Now, binabalak ko ulit magpacheck sakanya since balik clinic na ulit siya. Before nasa 5cm na yung cyst ko sa left ovary. Sana this time lumiit ng konte. *cross fingers*

Hi sisses. You might want to join Endometriosis Philippines Discussion Group sa facebook. Mas marami kasi dun active at baka makahanap din kayo ng same case nyo. Member kasi ako rito, though hindi rin ako madalas makapag facebook, pero maraming nagpopost at nag aadvice.

Hey there,

I understand your journey with endometriosis has been quite a ride since 2014. It's great to hear that your symptoms have improved over the years, especially your dysmenorrhea. I also commend you for finding an OB you're comfortable with at Asian Hospital and sticking with the prescribed medication.
By the way I am also a teacher and I have to say a life hack that a student showed me, this source https://edusson.com/apa-paper-writing-service helps me to make research papers for sale in apa format, with the help of this source I manage to order a writing that later I manage to sell to more students and make money on it, actually it is quite convenient and brilliant.
However, I'd like to point out that not following up on your treatment and missing the transvaginal checks might have indeed impacted the effectiveness of your previous 6-month medication. It's good that you're planning to reconnect with your OB and get back on track with your health. Let's hope the cyst has shrunk since your last measurement.

Take care and stay proactive about your health!
