Chronic Ama

Currently waiting at a new OBGYNs office for a HRT consultation. Maybe I won't get told that it's impossible for me to have endometriosis or that there's nothing he can do for me. I'm nervous. I don't usually get nervous with doctors, but today I am. Update: OMG, I love my new OBGYN! He agreed that I very likely have endometriosis lesions and definitely at least have adhesions again. He agreed to start me on progesterone to see if it helps curb the symptoms I'm having.  I haven't really paid too much attention lately just because of everything in my life, but nausea has been quite a big symptom for me. I was actually surprised to see that I've lost some weight in the last few weeks, despite not being on my low carb, healthy eating path. I am not a breakfast person, but a lot of days even lunch is hard to get down. Hell, today I got an order of cheese curds and I wasn't the least bit upset about sharing them with my hungry offspring. I ev

I had a really good day today. I think my doctors appointments on Friday and Saturday really helped put things in perspective. Currently, I'm looking for a new OBGYN still because I have two options right now... I can either go back on estrogen and then the pain and endo come back faster and sooner than I want them to. Or, I can stay off the estrogen and manage my migraines and other symptoms until I can find a doctor who will try other HRT, like progesterone.

And I've already started a new medication to prevent the migraines. I also have started taking a few extra supplements to help with my overall health. The one thing that is always going to be in my mind going forward is "nothing's impossible." Which

Today I begin the daunting task of finding a new OBGYN as well as scheduling all my follow ups for the rest of the year. I barely have the energy to do this, but it's gotta get done. Seeing my primary today so I can hopefully get a B12 shot and a shiny new referral to follow up with my endo specialist in Phoenix. I also need to create a document with all my previous surgeries, doctors, medications, etc. I am so not in the mood for this today. I don't think I'm ever in the mood to look back on all this. My to-do list isn't all medical records and appointments, though. I will be putting an application in to be a contributing writer to a digital health community that I have been following for some time. I figure another writing project won't hurt. It's been great for me these last few weeks and I intend to keep up on it, as well as keeping up on my health routines despite this week's set back. I really should be used to these flare ups as I know the s
