thank you Stephanie..just to bring some hope-i was diagnosed with endo 4 and lived with it for 20 years and i managed to put it into remission.Now i am 4th-year endo and pain-free thanks God for that so getting better IS possible regardless of what gurus tell you. Fight back. Endo is an inflammatory illness-make an anti-inflammatory diet a lifestyle and heal this trauma because it's all connected.Good luckSending love.xx
I have followed you on Instagram for a while now and have just realised you are on CZcams and have just binge watched all your videos and stumbled across this one. I am 21 and was diagnosed a year ago with endometriosis and have similar symptoms as well. This video is amazing for girls living with endometriosis so they know that they aren’t alone. Whenever I hear about girls talking about how they were diagnosed it is always the same story - the doctors aren’t well enough educated about endometriosis and it is always misdiagnosed which is awful for girls living with excruciating endo pain. Thank you so much stef for using your platform to tell your story 💗
Thank you for making this, I’m having the surgery on September 12th and I’m sort of nervous about it but this made me feel so much better. Stay strong ❤️
Hi Stef. Not being a sufferer I cannot imagine how difficult this has been. Even more so to be brave enough to tell your journey despite the fact that your journey is ongoing. I followed your profile from TikTok over to here and imagined a life of this very pretty very strong young woman to be very precise and just so. It is always good to remember that we are all human and we are all dealing with things. I think you are wonderful to have shared in order to help others and I can see from the comments that you are doing just that and I wish you well 🧡
Thank you so much for this, I’m currently going through the whole process of waiting to be diagnosed with whatever is causing my pain and this video was really useful and comforting🤍 You’re a star🌟💫
Great video and well done for sharing your story, I shared my recently and it was a huge encouragement to me so I hope it was to you xxx it was really encouraging hearing your honesty, I've suffered for years and still am and it's a journey that is definitely a battle! Especially for your loved ones xxx
Really loved this video! I’ve just been through something similar with a fibroid and went onto have surgery wishing i could have found more info on what to expect. Thank you for sharing 💕
I believe I’m going through the same thing my doctors couldn’t find out what was wrong with me and they want me to have a surgery as well to see what the issue is but I believe it is that cause the symptoms sound the same but also I do have PCOS as well and I was thinking it was probably a fibroid too but I will be having this surgery soon it made me feel comfortable knowing that you shared your story it made me cry 😭 but it also is good to know that there are other women out there with the same issues as myself so I know that I am not alone THANK YOU SO MUCH STEF! for sharing your story and being brave for doing that I applaud you and I won’t forget your story you definitely left an impact in my life MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU! 🥰😘🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Hello! This is amazingly helpful and inspiring! Would you be willing to make a video about what you eat? I think that is what I struggle with the most and I love hearing about what works for other people so I can try it!
Thank you so much for bringing awareness to this!! I can really relate to so many of your symptoms. I realize this video is from a few years ago now so I hope you're in a good place with this :) ! Do you have any experience of being on the pill to manage symptoms at the beginning of your journey? I want the op but my gynae is insisting I take the pill (I previously wasn't on any contraception) and it's been months now and they keep telling me to try a few more months to see if it helps. Maybe because of the pandemic? But they also said I'm too young to have the op, but I'm the same age as you! So I was wondering if you came across this at all?
I believe my wife had this. It got so bad she was using 32 sachets of movicol per day with a 30ml bottle of liquid laxative blended in, bleeding out of her arse, skin looked like dermatitis sometimes, massive abdominal pain, constipation from hell, but her doctor didn’t diagnose anything. She ended up not being able to eat, any solid food set off enormous pains, stomach swelling up like a football. She took her own life also due to back and joint pain, if anyone gets these pains then tell your doctor what you believe it is, insist they do something about it rather than prescribe you movicol etc, I wish I knew about this condition a looonnng time ago. Thanks for the info.
I loe how open you are about this ! You are trully so strong for sharing and talking about this , a strong ,bold, beautiful woman .. Thank you so much Stef you are helping a lot of people with just your story . Loads of love from Greece
Thank you for bringing awareness. Currently going through the pain and GP just refers painkillers. But I know I have it because the pain is just abnormal, I know my body. I have a few of the symptoms incl the same painful sex.
Where, there or there maybe here. Or when I make the up move the down is the pain more intense left or right. Deep in stumike or dous it go together with the move
I can't tell you how thankful I am to have come across your channel. I have been suffering with endometriosis since I was a teen and I'm now 30. I have a cyst that has to be removed. I'm nervous as hell because they said it's large. Anyway though, does anyone know of any alternatives to birth control that's the doctors cure for everything. I was on birth control for a few years and I absolutely hated it. Also wondering if key hole surgeries are what's used to remove cyst as well?
I️ was formally diagnosed with endometriosis at the age of 14 but I️ had symptoms starting at 11. I️ tried 5 different birth control pills and a triple dose for two weeks to stop my extreme (40 days non stop changing products every two hours or so) bleeding nothing worked. I️ was going to a gynecologist who ended up telling me to go to a children’s obgyn because she does not work with kids. It took three recommendation letters and five months to even get a single appointment. At this point I️ was missing so much school that I️ did all of my work from home Fourth quarter and was in the Er around 3-4 times a month screaming and crying panicking because I️ couldn’t handle the pain. When I️ finally met the doctor she talked to me and told me I️ most likely had endometriosis, because of this she put me on northindrone a progesterone only pill that does a lot for the blood (haven’t bled since June) and my hemoglobin and ferritin which should be at be around 100 were at 8 yes 8 I️ had depleted all of my iron long term and short in a matter of months. I had my diagnostic laparoscopic surgery which confirmed I do indeed have endometriosis. My pain did return though and I️ started a new drug called elagolx or Orlissa meant for endometriosis pain that made it way worse I️ recently stopped that and got a depolutron shot which is very different from the Depo-Provera shot because it is not estrogen or progesterone it is a hormone that mimics menopause causing hot flashes and night sweats, that has worked wonderfully so far no pain day rising above a 6 in the last couple weeks. I told you all this so that you know that there is hope and it may not ever go away but it can be better. 💗💞💓
Omg i know you said this a few months ago but i can’t imagine what you’re going through girl😩 i hope eventually you’re no longer in pain and no bleeding ❤️❤️
i'm 15, and i was diagnosed after getting a ovarian cyst. there isn't anything they can do except birth control and it doesn't work. i get major migraines and i'm on a daily migraine meds but i still get them. i wish there was something the dr could to for minors. everyone in my family has is except one of my grandmas. my mom and my other gma had to have hysterectomies because of it. i hurt.
a bit late to this video but I've just been told I have endometriosis after having symptoms since I was 13 and I am now 18 , I've been pushing the doctors for help to find out why I have been in pain and nothing came from it until last week. so unfortunate I have been left to find out what it consists of eat and its all beginning to make sense
i’ve been having symptoms since i was 13 and i’m almost 18 and i just had my second surgery within 8 months. this journey is horrible and i wish you luck❤️.
Im so fucking sick of my symptoms :( i'm always bloated AF and exhausted. i can not lose weight and i honestly don't understand how women like yourself can look so thin and fit whilst having this horrible thing ... but good for you, cause this body i'm in looks like a sack of potatoes lol.
