Eventually it becomes like scar tissue and will grow on its own. Incidentally, women with east or west African genetic backgrounds often have a higher propensity to grow scar tissue internally (it seems to be correlated to the risk of sickle-cell though I don’t think that has been proven) so PLEASE, to any Black…

Yeah, I think my course is not quite as awful as yours and Pipper’s friend - I usually miss work on the first day of my period, but not always and not through the whole thing, for example - so I’m grateful for that. But after my laparoscopy last year showed no visible adhesions, we realized that my treatment options…

The have a baby, calm it down thing has been refuted. It will calm down while you are pregnant but my endo pain started back in full by 4 weeks postpartum. My first postpartum period was brutal and lasted 6 weeks even with my IUD which I got 8 weeks postpartum.

I speak from experience on this one. I had a hysterectomy due to endometriosis and my doctor was able to save one ovary (the other was too much of a mess from the cysts) to prevent immediate menopause at 30, but knowing there would be a chance I might need surgery again. One year almost to the day of the hysterectomy,…

It can also be microscopic in form - some women get large chunks of it that build up together, and for others it’s only a few cells that stick together. The big messy kind can be removed surgically (though it will come back eventually, you get a period of relief because you’re at least starting from zero rather than…

I hope something works for her soon.

Her surgeon thinks there’s some tissue wrapped around her bowels, but she’s not sure and doesn’t want to go digging due to the high risk of sepsis, but since it’s JUST uterine tissue, it can grow literally anywhere. While having children can help as well as hysterectomies, nothing’s a guarantee. Then it becomes a…

from the story:

My Sister-From-Another-Mister has endo, that even a hysterectomy hasn’t been able to help. Even without the equipment it STILL comes back and it’s a never ending struggle to be taken seriously by insurers (who think she’s an addict from all the meds her doctors prescribe) and even pain management specialists, most of…

Thats the Chicago mob’s new hit man.

Last year in Chicago, an alderman proposed new garbage cans that would keep squirrels from chewing through them and warned about the potential of them attacking people. Well, they got him. The mother fucking squirrels suicide attacked him while he was out riding his bike.

Thaaaat’s also ALL sorts of copyright and possibly trademark infringement and use of likeness /representation violations that should be slapped down with a few injunctions and possibly punitive damages, isn’t it …?

But when all is said and all is done

To be fair the argument that the Democratic party has not fully valued and has not lived up to promises made to black voters for decades is valid. Black voters haven’t abandoned the party because the other party is full of vile bigots and has made no attempt to step away from that. The Progressive push inside the…

They’ve been trying this one for years. “The other party says they’ll help you, and then doesn’t follow up. So, vote for us, the assholes who say up front that we won’t do shit for you! That’s a campaign promise you can count on.”

Get some duct tape and a baseball glove. Tape the glove to your head. Then you may be able to catch this joke whizzing over your head.

I have been 100% put in my place. I don’t know shit about boats. Sorry everyone. Ignore me.

No telling, but I had an ex who was a sonar tech on one of the 2 ships that collided off the coast of Jacksonville and she was telling me that it was just like one minute everything is good and then all of a sudden it wasn’t.

Fun Fact: Destroyers get their name because they were designed to destroy boats, not ships. Thus, fighting anything bigger than them is a job well above their pay-grade.
