Hello Y'all, here is my reflection on month two and three of taking Orilissa for my medication. If you have not already I highly recommend watching my one-month video (linked below) because I cover some symptoms that I don't in this video. As I said in the video. Months two and three were filled with a lot of nausea and some breakthrough pain. Nausea could be explained partially from the liver ...

    I’ve been on it for about 3 weeks. I’ve had hot flashes a couple of times. My pain is down significantly. I haven’t had any bad side effects yet (hopefully won’t get them) but my libido has been a lot higher and it wasn’t low before I started.

    This was really helpful. I think i have endo but on the lower side. I have always had painful periods since 11/12 years old. I have always had bad cramps and heavy bleeding. I got on birth control at 18 because of my periods. My body hates hormonal birth control , so i switched to a low hormonal birth control pill. It has helped but i still get very bloated, cramping all month, painful pains after sex sometimes, and heavy bleeding the first few days of my period. I am getting tested for it soon.

    As someone with endo, I've occasionally thought about recording myself when I'm in massive amounts of pain. Not for pity points of course, but to capture the reality of the condition. I'm 26 and still dependent on my parents, and trying to figure out how I can work because I can't sit for more than 20 minutes at a time (if that) and being on my feet is also often really painful. I spend most of my time in my bedroom, lying down with my heating pads, and I'm definitely guilty of hiding my pain from others. I don't even allow my own family to see what I'm like at my worst...because frankly when I feel like shit, I want to be left alone, and there's really nothing anyone can do to help anyhow...and I don't want the people I love to beat themselves up for not being able to help. I commend your playful/positive energy, despite having to walk to your appointment, sit and wait for the bus, work, go to the grocery store, then cook when you finally get home. It's really difficult to stay positive or even resembling 'sane' when you feel like your body is sabotaging your functionality.

    Oh man your story is just like me ! Kept going to doctors and everything same !!! Omg ! Now I’m 49. I went in and demanded surgery so in three months I get one . I had to tell them no I want surgery took 3 different doctors to say ok ! I just hope I make it before then ! The pain and issues is so debilitating! For me it stops me from doing a lot of things . I missed so much work because I thought it was all GI . Thanks for doing video.

  • @debbielynnsmellowminutesme7909

    Thanks for doing these videos. I have this pain it’s so bad and I have surgery planned for 3 months out . Doctor wants me to take Orilissa or she gave me the progesterone mini pill . So which is worse ? Is it better just to take nothing just wait ? I get a lot of pain with endometriosis normally with nausea and some constipation and all over place and I eat good and changed my diet too . This is so frustrating. A lot of cramps and pain . Thanks !

  • @ChrisMhiclochlainn
    @ChrisMhiclochlainn Рік тому

    Thank you for making these videos on your experience with Orilissa. I'm 34 now and I had my first surgery at 23 to confirm I had stage 3 endometriosis and to remove all the growths and cysts. I was put on Lupron at first and that drug was making down right insane so I eventually got off of it. I was able to get pregnant with my daughter soon after and for 8 years I've been on an injection of Depo Prevera. My body started getting used to the Depo shot so my endo has been growing back slowly over the past couple years and now it doesn't work at all. I've been dealing with some pretty bad pain for the past 9-10 months, and it feels exactly like it did 11 years ago before my first surgery. My OBGYN put me on Orilissa a month ago and I found videos like yours of women who have actually been on it. The Orilissa has help to take the edge off of my pain but it's still there and some days it feels just as bad as it did before. I am getting the same symptoms with my liver already along with muscle tremors (especially in my lip and hands) which Orilissa is the only new medication I've been on in years. I feel like I am hungover, very nauseous, thirsty, cloudily brain, and I quit drinking 6 years ago. I've had hot flashes, insomnia, feeling fatigued and thinning of my bones for 11 years now with all the hormone drugs I've been on so that wasn't new, but the liver damage is a new thing. Thank you again for these videos, just confirms I need to get my liver tested at my next appt. My next step is finally getting a hysterotomy, I am so done with the pain and all the hormone drugs I've been on.

    Hi there Greer. I am so happy I came across your channel. I am an endo survivor dealing with the same symptoms you have, at the age of 21. I got diagnosed with endo in September, 2022. I had chronic pelvic pain, chronic back pain to the chronic fatigue. Living with this condition is horrible and I honestly don't wish it on anyone. For so long, I was trying to find a youtuber or someone on UA-cam that can discuss living with their condition as I have never heard many stories on this condition. I am glad to hear you have been diagnosed with many new symptoms and that way it can help with treatement. You are very brave and courageous to discuss this with your subscribers as many are dealing with the same symptoms almost everyday. Thank you for sharing your updates Greer, It really helps and I am praying for your health to improve and for to continue with getting the right treatement as this is important. I pray we all find a treatment that works very well for all of us dealing with this condition.

  • @Quit3Cut3
    @Quit3Cut3 Рік тому

    I’m on day 6 of this medicine I don’t think it’s really helping to be honest. I’m still having a lot of pain, constant spotting, hot flashes, nausea. Also the joint pain makes me feel like I got run over by a truck. It’s so unfair what we have to go through.

  • @Quit3Cut3
    @Quit3Cut3 Рік тому

    I started orlissa yesterday. After the first dose I was curled up into a ball on the floor. The joint pain was all over and excruciating. I also felt like I wasn’t in my own body. I’m on day 2 and I still have the joint pain, but my stabbing endo pain is all gone. I can’t believe how fast this medication works. I’m having surgery in 2 months for severe deep endo.

    Thank you so much for these videos. My dr prescribed this, and quickly went through the side effects, I had to do the research on my own, and I was terrified to start this med! I sent her several messages wanting clarification on things, such as would I need a bone scan, should I take calcium and vitamin D, should I have my liver tested periodically, and the response was just reiterating side effects and I felt as though my concern was being minimized. I did start taking it, out of desperation, and I’m very nervous about the potential side effects. 😬

  • @charmbrown1389
    @charmbrown1389 2 роки тому

    I started this med 9 days ago, after a hysterectomy a year ago. I have severe endometriosis and the pill, or mini pill causes mental side effects for me. My dr suggested I try Orilissa, they got it pre approved before I went to the pharmacy. I picked it up and let it sit on my kitchen table for 2 weeks. I finally decided to bite the bullet and start taking it, I had to do something or I wasn’t going to be able to continue working! So far I haven’t noticed any weirdness, but it’s only day 9. Thank you for posting this.
