Questions & Answers

I'm not talking about recovery pain from the surgery. I mean has anyone still had the same awful pain they were having prior to surgery after? I'm 3 months out from my surgery and I'm getting the same stabbing pain I had before. I guess I was under the impression that if I had surgery it would talk care of the pain for a little while. And I guess 3 months is a "little while" but I was hoping it would be for a lot longer.

Did anyone go crazy, say weird things, or just act wild, or any other out of character behaviour after they woke up from a laparoscopy due to the anesthesia?

I had shingles at age 28 and was diagnosed with endometriosis shortly before turning 30. I now recognise that I possibly had endo symptoms for most of my 20s.

Testing?

I have had debilitating chronic fatigue for 3.5 years. We have explored multiple avenues of my health through various physicians to get answers, with little success. I have been diagnosed with Endo (after gallbladder removal). However, we have not explored it more. I am hoping that getting laparoscopic endo surgery could help improve/eliminate my chronic fatigue.

I've been dealing with this itchy skin condition on my hands (both palms and backs) since November (ish)
It starts out as these incredibly itchy, tiny, skin coloured bumps that do or don't get red but fill with fluid, sometimes that's where it stays, but if it's scratched at all the bumps weep and then it spreads more. Other times it flares out and the skin becomes red and inflamed and looks like an eczema flare (which is what I was told in 2020 that it was the only other time I ever dealt with… read more
