@A MyEndometriosisTeam Member Thank you for your response and validating my feelings, really appreciate it. I never knew how hard this recovery would be.

Oh my I literally was at the doctors this week.

I don’t know if you’ve heard that before but I have for my internal doctor he’s been my doctors and I was 18. & has
Never steered me wrong so currently that is what I need to do as well. I don’t know if it works yet but knowing him it definitely does!!! Definitely in process of this currently!!🫶🙏🩵🩷🙏
