Rachel, my heart goes out to you. I was just diagnosed with endo about a month ago, and my heart breaks that you deal with it too. And to have to deal with it on top of being a full-time caregiver. I hope you were able to find a moment of relief, however small. You deserve that. Sending good vibes to both you and Kyle.
I am so sorry you also have endometriosis but so glad you finally got answers! You kind words mean so much and thankfully I was able to have a long morning of caring for myself that made it slightly more manageable the rest of the day!
I had endometriosis/fibroid stage 4 for 15 years, I'm a nurse, very painful/hard... I had hysterectomy at age 47... I'm now 49.... I am pain free now... I will continue to pray for you... I used magnesium oil for rough painful days....
I am so sorry to hear you also have endometriosis and have been through this! What a gift you have found relief it also breaks my heart you’ve had to have a hysterectomy for that to be the case. Sending you love 💕
Hi Rachel, your video today hit home for me. I, too, deal with endometriosis. On days when I had to push through the pain, I would put hand warmers in my front pants pockets. It worked as a heating pad on the go. Minor relief, but relief is relief, right? You can also try the heat patches for your back, stick them on your front. A mild muscle relaxer may help too.
Thank you for your kindness and I am sorry you also experience this pain! This is such a good tip!!! I definitely want to try some heat patches my next cycle.
My heart goes out to you .. I used to be the same way... All I could do was curl up in a ball under a heating blanket or with a heating pad and cry... God be with you today...Hugs ✌️
Soo so sorry to hear this dreadful news. I really feel for you dealing with this awful pain and trying to be there for Kyle . Thinking of you try and take small steps at a time to get through. I wish I had a solution to help you . Best wishes and sending big hugs your way Stay strong and you will get through as hard as it will be ❤❤ Michelle Australia
Sweetheart, I had endometriosis, and the way I finally got relief was to have surgery. That is probably not an option for you, being, like you said, your husbands caregiver. I know what you are going through. The pain is unbearable. I remember having such pain from it, every month, there were times I could not sleep for days. Back then, I didn't even know what was wrong with me. I only found out, when I went to the emergency room one night(because of severe pain), and they let me know, that they had a feeling, that I was suffering from endometriosis, and they would do some testing(laparoscopy), and that is when they realized I actually had it. The surgery was the best thing that could have happened to me, but there was a 2-3 month healing period. Anyway, I am just so sorry, for all that you and your husband are going through. You two need a break. Sending some positive vibes your way... I will keep you both, in my thoughts! ❤
Thank you for your kind and heartfelt message. I am so sorry you have been touched my endometriosis and the horrific pain it comes with. I am so glad the surgery brought you relief. I had mine just over a year ago and sadly I am the percentage of women that do not experience relief after surgery. It was validating to know that it was Endo and that’s has help with the emotional burden but the pain sadly hasn’t changed 😭
Maybe see if you can find a small hot water bottle slip in a purse on you lap and no one will have a clue. Hot water bottle helped me many a times, back in the day! 😊
Some days can be overwhelming. You have had more than your fair share. I hear a gluten free diet helps some with endometriosis. I dont know If you have tried that, just mentioning it.
Truly it can be but one foot in front of the other! I have actually been gluten free for over a decade. It really helped with my IBS like symptoms and I cannot eat it now when I do have a horrid reaction where I almost feel drugged.
I am sorry it causes you so much pain. I myself had it as well. They found a cyst on my right ovary in 2013. My dr told me it was an endometrioma , that it was benign and common. I would get mild to moderate pelvic pain that would come and go. I didnt spend much time researching endometriosis i just lived with the mild discomfort. Fast faorward to 2018 i had another scan and the endometrioma on my ovary had acrually decreased in size a bit, so i put it out of my mind. Then, in june 2023 i was diagnosed with clear cell ovarian cancer. Only then did i learn that having endometeiosis significantly increases a womans chance of develooing the cancer. I dont know if you know that already, but my dear please get a scan once a year to make sure things are ok and norhing looks suspicious.
I am so sorry you also have endometriosis and I am glad you found what works for you. The pill isn’t something I personally wanna go back on but totally respect all those that choose that path. It really messed with my mental health sadly
Endometriosis is very painful indeed! I had a hysterectomy at age 35 and am so happy I had it done. No more pain. Hugs to you ~ hope you can rest later, maybe with a heating pad?
I too had this same condition and pain pills like motrin or asprin did not help the pain go away.I did find something that worked and it was diurex water pills.I took the non caffene ones. I took 2 and that was the only thing that worked. I still would bleed like a stuck pig but no pain. Thank God for Menopause. Please give it a try.😊😊
I had surgery a little over a year ago and sadly I didn’t find relief aside from the emotional weight of finally having my knowing validated. I wish my story was unique but so many woman get surgery and nothing changes and there is no cure and we need so much more research go understand why this happens and how to actually help Women who are suffering.
❤ How I wish I could help, but I can only listen and offer you a prayer. Wish you could find the right doc to help you. This is not good. My wife had this, then ovarian cancer, then brain cancer. Basically we’re screwed now but we are older so, so, I dunno. Did mention Dr Amy to you, but I’n no wizard on judgement, so pls pop her a question or two, it may surprise you. She is a very busy young doc who had ov cancer. God bless❤
I’m so sorry to hear this breaks my heart! I know endometriosis increases your risk of ovarian cancer and it’s such a real fear. Sending you all love and healing 🥰
@@SimplyRachelOBare oh thx, I am not sure it was correct to suggest Dr Amy here, I have since learned there is fine print to her channel. Anyway, you guys be good and as per usual, God bless……my apologies if it offends, but its my last stop ;)
I wonder if your doctor would prescribe narcotic painkillers to use several days a month. So sorry you are going through so much, Rachel. You seem like a wonderful person.
I am sure they would but not a fan of pharmaceuticals and especially heavy pain medication. Starting using Chinese medicine and herbs it’s really starting to help just takes time.
I sympathise. Given Kyle's situation and having to cope with yours too . Sometimes just getting through the day is tough😢 Have you considered TCM? Traditional Chinese Med? They have herbs that can help with this. A friend of mine testifies to this. If you can find a good practitioner, pls ask
@@SimplyRachelOBare am so glad you are on to this. Unfortunately many western patients arent open to this. In Singapore it is available alongside western med in hospitals and used as a complementary therapy
The best thing you can do is get a hysterectomy like I did. It will make your life so much better. I'm so sorry you're enduring it, but I completely understand it.

I get it! Lived 40 years with it. Birth control helped me. Then after menopause I have to deal with the pains of scar tissue from it. ❤️😢
I am so sorry you have been touched by endometriosis no one deserves to feel this pain. What a gift you found something that helped you!
I’m sorry hon…just what you need. Praying for the both of you…will continue to pray for you..
Thank you so much! It means a lot 🥹
Praying for you both! We love you ❤
Thank you thank you 🙏🏻
Praying for you Rachel. Take care. Praying for Kyle too😘🤗🙏
Thank you so so much 🥰
Maybe see if you can find a small hot water bottle slip in a purse on you lap and no one will have a clue. Hot water bottle helped me many a times, back in the day! 😊
That’s a great idea I’ve seen these patches recently and I wanna try them for my next cycle!
Prayers for U!

I’m so sorry to hear this! How are you doing today? I appreciate your reminder and I 100% need to schedule my annual asap!
I have endometriosis also. Believe me go on the birth control pill ! I stayed on it until I hit menopause. It's the only way I could survive.
I am so sorry you also have endometriosis and I am glad you found what works for you. The pill isn’t something I personally wanna go back on but totally respect all those that choose that path. It really messed with my mental health sadly
@@SimplyRachelOBare it did for me too, I went on antidepressants so I could be on it. Still worth it though, to not have the pain.
I am so glad you found what works for you!

Wow I am go glad you found something that works for you and you are feeling better these days!
Heck yeah, for me Menopause was a blessing not to have anymore periods from hell
Ahh I completely understand that!!
Have you tried accupuncture? Or surgery might be another option.
I had surgery a little over a year ago and sadly I didn’t find relief aside from the emotional weight of finally having my knowing validated. I wish my story was unique but so many woman get surgery and nothing changes and there is no cure and we need so much more research go understand why this happens and how to actually help
Women who are suffering.
I was so thankful to get a hysterectomy...Thats when my pain finally went away...🙏
I am so glad that worked but I am not in a place to want to get that yet. But so glad your pain went away!!
So sorry!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much ☺️🤍🤍

The best thing you can do is get a hysterectomy like I did. It will make your life so much better. I'm so sorry you're enduring it, but I completely understand it.
