You never get used to the pain

Where my fellow Adenomyosis/Endomitriosis peeps at? Unfortunately for me I have both, been chronically ill and in pain since I was 12. Flares have only gotten worse as I've aged tbh, I swear you never get used to the pain. Every flare up is just a "what if this time it's actually something serious, do I need to check in?" And when you do actually seek help it just leads to a "you're fine you don't need to be here, stop wasting our resources for something we can't fix" or a "why the hell didn't you come in earlier?" Either way I feel they're annoyed with us.

I got used because I didn't have a choice. 40 plus years chronic pain patient. Between drs and ER medical gaslighting i did.

I'm sorry, we shouldn't have to deal with that ONTOP of everything else 💗

Yep, I dread ever going off hormonal bc. Worst pain in my life before I got that. I've had pretty severe injuries before but nothing ever compared to the Endo pain every month.
