Surgery Photos Included! Struggling To Understand Photos

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi All,

I have just received my laparoscopy pictures from when i was diagnosed with endometriosis. I am struggling to see where the endo is as the photos are so dark and blurry. Has anyone else had this problem? Or is anyone able to see anything in my photos?

Thanks🫶🏻

How Many Of Us Have Been Diagnosed With Hypermobility Or Suspect They Might Be?

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Chicago, IL

I was diagnosed with hypermobility Ehlers Danlos post 3 endo excisions which included: Stage 4 DIE, massive adhesions, hernia repair, and removal of ovaries, uterus, and appendix. I believe hEDS is highly under-diagnosed in women who experience chronic pelvic pain and have undergone multiple laprascopic surgeries, as the symptoms can overlap and be exacerbated by estrogen.

I Have Decided To Do A Research Project On Endometriosis, Would Anyone Be Interested In Completing My Survey?

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi all,
I have made a survey which is analysing if social media has an impact on the awareness of endometriosis. I will be using the data collected in this survey to write a research project on this topic. I hope some of you may be interested in completing this quick 5-10 minute survey as it's a topic i'm very interested in researching due to the fact that it is not spoken about as much as it should be.
Thanks in advance, Evie.

Anyone Else Getting Super Nauseous? (1 Year After Laparoscopy Recovery)

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Richmond, VA

So in October of '23, I had my laparoscopy and my recovery had gone quite well (but I get some gastritis pain here and there). However, my symptoms started coming back in July. Other than the abdominal pain, I have been getting super nauseous these days. My major triggers are smells such as incense and sights such as making scrambled eggs and ground beef. Am I the only one who's having this issue?

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member

No you’re never the only 1
That’s why I luv this forum
Similar but Different
I’ve had those symptoms related and unrelated to different meds which seemed to pile up the longer I suffered with Endo. … read more

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Joplin, MO

I have had several health related issues this year. I am being monitored every 3 months by my rheumatologists. Every test for systemic autoimmune diseases have came back normal. I had a really high Thyroglobulin antibody test. My thyroid has 3 nodules but they are benign and no signs of thyroid diseases. My rheumatoid factor was slightly elevated. But no signs of RA. I was having chronic kidney stones so I had CT scan. They discovered a fibroid on my uterus. This lead down the path of… read more
