First: she doesn't have to explain why did she write those lyrics. Second: she said about it this: ”the baby line is supposed to be facetious”. can y’ll stop being annoying! Just listen and shut up. that’s her music and she can write ANYTHING without explaining to us. All respect for Halsey.
I actually said the same to my ex boyfriend after my laparoscopic surgery 2 weeks ago when I heard mine is stage 4 and apparently I'm going to be infertile.
@Harden Thicke It isn't mainly because it doesn't show up on any scans (unless you have cysts big enough to see, and not everyone with endometriosis gets cysts) so the only way to truly diagnose it is to go in and do surgery. And unfortunately doctors can be quite dismissive, I had an OB/GYN tell me that it was just painful periods, and that I would "grow out of it at 18" (obviously not the case). So it can be frustrating trying to find a diagnosis, especially if you happen to get doctors who aren't willing to do surgery because their patient is "too young" or think they're doing their patients a favor by not going in and looking around.
I admire Halsey so much for speaking up about endometriosis. I’ve been to so many doctors who think I’m over exaggerating or they don’t wanna do anything about my endo pain. It’s frustrating
Ashlee Rose I HAVE ENDOMETRIOSIS , AND I ALWAYS CRAVE ICE WHEN IM ON MY PERIOD. I HAVE BEEN TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM ONCE, AND I'VE BEEN TO THE DOCTOR ALOT. THEY ALWAYS PRESCRIBE ME DIFFERENT MEDICINE WHEN I WOULD GO AND GIVE ME THESE HORRIBLE AS WELL AS BASIC TIPS THAT YOU CAN FIND ON GOOGLE THAT DON'T AND DIDN'T WORK . BUT ANYWAYS THE CURE IS TAKING. ONE TABLESPOON. OF ORGANIC MOLASSES EVERYDAY MIXED WITH TEA. EVERYDAY AND WITHIN BUT YOU CAN WATCH UA-cam VIDS ABOUT IT. HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!!!!
Keep trying. Get a second opinion. Log all of your pain every day. Bring someone to your appointment that can vouch for you. I had severe endo and adenomyosis for years and nobody ever believed me till hospital visits and an MRI scan. Had a hysterectomy at age 30 to get my life back. Pain free for 2 years....it's amazing. I'm so sorry to hear you've been in pain. Don't give up.
My daughter has PCOS and suspected Endo. They did surgery to find out if she had it, but we were told it was "Inconclusive". She has missed so much school this year that they almost didn't let her graduate. When I explained to her school principal what was going on and how much pain these two issues cause he told me "Well I mean, its just female issues. She should toughen up" That's when I sent him a 16 page document explaining these diseases from a doctors stand point. Ladies listen to your bodies and listen to your little girls when they say they are hurting. Do NOT put it off to having "Bad periods" MAKE YOUR DOCTORS LISTEN TO YOU. You know your bodies.
Lisa Clevenger I have Endo and it sounds like she definitely has it. I have been studying this disease for the last 10 years. Just so you know, there is NO treatment aside from excision surgery. No BC or IUD can help. They seem to but it’s a bandaid and it makes the Endometriosis worse. Your daughter needs to be diagnosed via diagnostic laparoscopic surgery.
She had surgery, they didn't find any evidence of her having it, however she also had multiple ultra sounds to prove she had/didnt have PCOS and they never found anything until the surgery. The doctor did tell me that just because he didn't see any evidence of it, doesn't mean she don't have it. So I have very little faith in the doctors here in our town. Right now we have her in a chemically induced menopause. I am trying very hard to get her into see a specialist or a different doctor.
Lisa Clevenger oh no. Don’t tell me they put her on Lupron?! That doesn’t DO anything except make you feel sick! If it does provide pain relief, it’s only temporary because you can’t take that shot longer than 6 months. Then it comes all back full force. You need NEED to see an actual Endometriosis excison specialist. Mine is Dr Dulemba. He is one of the best in the country. Also Dr Cook. They use the Robotic Laproscopic technique which gives them better view of the peritoneal area in the pelvic area including the cul de sac. I’m going to Med school to specialize in Endometriosis because women need to be taken seriously with this. Especially when they are 16!! I had mine since 13 and I’m 38 and just recently got it all excised. I feel like a different woman. There are zero drugs to help this disease. Just excision. I’m so sorry. I sympathize your pain and frustration.
I've been struggling with my endo for 9 years and I feel like it gets worse after every laproscopy... Nothing helps, it often feels like it controls my life... It's crippling sometimes. But the worst thing is how no one understands how serious this pain is... How broken it can make you feel... And having years and years of Dr.s telling you it's not as bad as you make it out to be, that you're being dramatic, that it's all in your head can damage your mentally..
Cecia Dobrev Pain areas: in the lower abdomen, lower back, pelvis, rectum, or vagina Pain circumstances: can occur during sexual intercourse or while defecating Menstrual: abnormal menstruation, heavy menstruation, irregular menstruation, painful menstruation, or spotting Gastrointestinal: constipation or nausea Abdominal: abdominal fullness or cramping Also common: infertility Sweetheart I have most of these symptoms besides Sex and infertility they're unknown because I never had sex .
Ms.Nicole Waters ok but why are you copy and pasting it everywhere in caps like it’s a bit much. Do you wanna help people or just want attention. I’m not accusing you of anything just wondering.
Here after her pregnancy announcement today!! I could not be happier for her and her rainbow baby!! CONGRATS HALSEY!!! Sending love and the best vibes to you and your baby! Also sending love to everyone/anyone currently going through fertility issues, any issue, or just pregnant and trying to get by every day. We're all doing the best we can and are not alone. Love you all
@Elizabeth Ray well yes but I'm a huge fan of halsey and I'm pretty sure I've watched everything shes done..interviews, shows, UA-cam, podcast etc...never heard her say that... she could say it but I've just never heard it.
@Elizabeth Ray right. Who knows...she could have. She is technically black... lol but yea. It dosen't really sound like something she would say...not that there is anything wrong with it...
@Elizabeth Ray oh I agree. I have a very mixed family. Black and Hispanic. I think I'm the only one that married a white person 🤣 but yea... it's like you have to be whiter than the whites and blacker then the blacks. It's how it is. But technically I did hear that your race is your father's race. So on her birth certificate, its says black female.
I thought I would have never been able to have a child because of my Endometriosis, my period used to be clots of blood just flowing out of me and my legs felt like they wanted to give out....but since I met my gynecologist he examined me and basically told me anything is possible so I tried and Dec 2018 my pumpkin was born healthy and I’m doing fine...have faith that it will work out 😊😊
I love that story Everton...I had endometriosis when I was 21 and my gyno said I may have to have a time in my life when I would have to try for kids...it broke my heart knowing I may not have kids which I've always dreamed of...7 years later I have 2 handsome boys and the same gyno that told me that just delivered my last born. It goes to show you God has plans for everyone and he is real.
I don’t have endometriosis but I do have a chronic condition. Nothing is worse then visiting different doctors for months or years and having them tell you you are just making it up. I wish that on no one, it’s so heartbreaking and frustrating.
Same, I have Chronic Lyme Disease and it's been so great to finally have an answer after having less accurate tests say negative. The pain of having to fight with yourself because everyone and the doctors is saying your pain is basically in your head, I will never be able to get out of my mind. I've had a doctor tell me it was anxiety and depression and that I had to tell myself I was okay and I would be. And that my mother had to be my cheerleader when I didn't feel good. I've been told I was making it up. It's a battle people with chronic illnesses have to deal with, on top of trying to keep all your broken pieces together when your condition starts flaring up.
Legendofpickle387 I’m going through the same thing right now. May I ask what your symptoms are? Doctors keep telling me nothing is wrong even though I feel horrible
Yeah I know the feel. I remember the feeling I got after hundreds of analyses which came back negative, but my symptoms still there..where one doctor saw the results but said that she believes me. Ohmygosh what a weight lifted off me, these words were already healing. I got diagnosed with chronic fatigue. I don't have it now this much but still struggling with various stuff, adhd etc. :) But it's essential to find the doctor who you can trust, be honest with and who believes you!
It's the same for me. For a long time my parents didn't believe me and I had to learn to deal with it on my own at age 9. Finally we got a good female PA who was able to diagnose me with a chronic illness two years later. 2 years of tearful pain and no one believed me. It's difficult for anyone going through this. No matter what other people say, YOU KNOW YOUR BODY. You do. If something feels wrong, something is wrong. That's it.
Too many doctors dismiss women when we go to them for these issues. I haven’t been back to my OB because I sat in her office crying about my pain and she told me “You’re normal here’s BC”. I refuse to be dismissed in terms of my health. Don’t put up with it ladies!
The same happened to me. Finally I found the courage to go to the ob/gyn (have severe anxiety and am off work for about a year now dealing with 'life'), as I was telling her about my extremely painful periods, the cramps in a full blown panic attack, she tells me 'but you should start working, it'll do you good'. I got up and left. I was sooo angry. This was also a female doctor......
Vicky Manson I am so sorry that, that happened to you! Is this what our healthcare has come to? Doctors are too busy seeing a high volume of patients and would rather write a prescription or rush you out of the office than really figure out *why* the symptoms are happening. I hope you’re able to find a good doctor that will take time and listen to what you have to say!
It feels great to see someone like Halsey speak out about it. I've been dealing with endo sines I was 11. I'd be having extreme pain to the point where I'd faint, throw up or get a really bad upset stomach. But I also have anxiety so everyone would just say "oh it's just a bad stomach pain" or "oh you're just anxious" and since I was so young they didn't want to look into it straight away. Fast forward till I was 14-15 and I went back to my doctors where my pain had gotten increasingly worse, I was pretty much have a period that could go for months at a time and they pretty much went yep. You have it. And gave me some stuff to help. But I related to this so much especially when she said they said she was just anxious because yeah of course you are. You are in so much pain to the point where you can't even cry or move. I sometimes can't to to school for a week or two when it gets bad. So yeah you become a little scared of it cause it hurts like hell. I have never experienced a worse pain. And that's saying something especially because let's just say my stomach pain tolerance has become pretty high from dealing with it for so long. But I'm so sorry that Halsey had to go through that but also thank you for speaking out about it because it's more common then you think xx
Damn, you were even younger than me. I started having symptoms at 14, one year after my period started. It started as bad nausea (as you already understand, it legitimately feels like the stomach flu) a day or two before my period, and bad cramps the day before/the day of. Symptoms gradually got worse and for years I had no idea what was wrong with me. I hate the "I literally can't deal with this anymore" breakdowns that leave you feeling worse.
Sometimes just having someone acknowledge our pain helps. The emotional pain of being dismissed when you are in physical pain makes it almost unbearable at times. Thank you for your kind words.
My sister has STRUGGLED with this condition. I remember being scared when I was younger because my sister would be crying in so much pain at times. My sister had one particularly bad night and woke me up from her painful moans and whimpering. I went in her room and asked if she was okay. I was 9 she was 14 anyhow her bed was bad bloody and mom took her to the hospital and they finally diagnosed her. I feel for any woman going through this.
I know how she felt. It took them 5yrs to figured it out that is had endmo. They keep telling me I was crazy. I also was passing out from so much pain. They also told me I had less then 30% chance of having children and thanks to God I had two wonderful boys.
The same exact thing happened with me, i recently made a video speaking on my own story. I'm 20 now and likely will never be able to have kids of my own. I'm happy to hear you have children despite your endo, thats awesome!
Doctors dismiss endometriosis on purpose because they don't know how to help us. we are often called "heart sink" patients, because their hearts sink as we walk in the room. I had one doctor literally say to me " well what do you want me to do about it ? you are very difficult to treat you know that right?" acting as though it was my fault, that I was ruining his day. For a doctor we can ruin their whole day so in return instead of working out how to help, lots prefer to take what is an easy option for their day, but in turn can ruin our lives. its so good shes speaking out, so many ladies are now ditching crap doctors who don't listen and pushing for better help and finally getting the guts to press charges against abusive doctors thanks to people speaking out like this!
@- - yeah the shot and the mini pill didnt work...i wanted to stop mine completely too. No such luck. I can't have estrogen due to clots so there wasn't any other options left . Thank you I'm glad you are having some relief and i hope you continue having that 💜
Girls, women, fuck western medicine, go to Chinese doctors! Five years ago I was diagnose endometriosis 2 stage after the surgery, I had endo cyst removed, I drank hormones but cyst came back again only half year later. Our doctors only suggested surgery again and more hormones, they dont give a shit and have no idea why endometriosis happen and they dont even care too much. Unlike Chinese medicine doctors, they do understand how endometriosis and infertility happens, they do observe your body. In my case I had too much dampness in my body, liver was not so well and I had bad blood circulation so Chinese doctor prescribed special mix of herbs to drink everyday 3-4 months and do acupuncture. Strictly no coffee, diary products, no cold drinks/foods, more dark red vegetables to increase blood quality and it helped alot! It reduced cyst, pain, I had no pain at all during period because blood was light and flow was easy = no cramps. I went to few other doctors and according to them i dont even have endometriosis anymore. Im not sure Chinese medicine cured it but it can help alot! Important thing is avoind pesticides, becouse chemicals in it disbalance hormone levels in your body and cysts happen
Im so frustrated that I ha to literary read all google pages about endometriosis in two languages to finally know what to do , I can easilly tell that now I know more about endometriosis than my gynecologist who doesnt give a fuck and only tells what her books taught
I’m so glad she talked about this. It helped me so much. I started with the symptoms at age 10 when I started my period, and it took them 2 years to figure it out. I’ve had two surgeries and the second one it had spread worse throughout my body. I’m 13 now and it’s been the worst years of my life. I wish the best to anybody who has this disease or any, because it really sucks.

I’m SO THANKFUL that she & other famous women are speaking up & out about this awful disease. I went TWENTY FIVE years undiagnosed & I am still suffering at 41 years old. I pray the next generation of girls & women will not suffer as badly as I have. 💛💛💛
She is a resilient woman. To deal with and overcome the struggles of mental disorder (bipolar) and physical disease with such strength and grace is inspiring to say the least. Peace and power to her.
In 2010 I went in to check on my birth control and doctor found a huge mass on my ovary. I was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis. The doctor was surprised I wasn't hunched over when I came in. I was one of those people that never had pain and never would have found out. I had to have laproscopic surgery. The mass was too hard so they had to cut my pelvic area. Didnt find out till after I woke up that they had to remove my left ovary because it was so badly damaged from the endometriosis. Thankfully I never had a problem with fertility. One ovary and all. God is good!
Oh bless her heart! I was misdiagnosed with ibs for several years, until finally, the right dr. Suspected endometriosis and did surgery. It was so bad I had to have a full hysterectomy. Endometriosis pain is no joke and kept me out of work constantly. It was so hard to hold down a job due the excruciating pain and almost lost my life in 2005 from it.
I have so much respect for Halsey and hearing what she went though absolutely breaks my heart. You can really hear the pain in her voice, especially when she was talking about her miscarriage and every aspect of that is so heartbreaking. No one deserves to go through that or anything close, and the fact that she spoke out about it makes me so proud of her, because you can see how hard it is for her to tell that story.
I have PCOS and endometriosis stage 4. Always was in pain and all doctors kept ignoring it failing to tell me I had a cyst the size of a fist. Lost my right ovary at age 17. My periods were normal except heavy bleeding, I’d pass out, and would cry in pain skipping majority of my senior year of high school. Currently it’s been 4 years since surgery and non stop hormone therapy. Wonder if I can ever have kids but I hated that this could of been prevented if the doctors didn’t just say it was just in my head and it was all just “PMS”
Moongoddessmystica Nikki Restrepo A friend of mine was in the exact same state as you ,but in her case she had to remove a part of her other ovary as well. Even with one ovary you can still have children. My friend had a child even with the one problematic ovary she had. Be strong and be positive!
I had started going to the GYN for my serious pain and heavy bleeding at the age of 13. By the time I was 16 I was failing school, and by 17 the Dr. decided to see if i had endo via laparoscopy. Well, turns out the pain was so increadibly bad because my endo was growing near a nerve and was close to growing over it. He couldn't remove it because he would likely damage my nerve. Had it not taken years to diagnose me it likely would never have gotten to that point, and now I have to continue to have surgeries to minimize my endo knowing they can never fully remove it.
Im so sad to read this and see how many girls doesnt know how to deal with :/ Fuck western medicine, go to Chinese doctors! Five years ago I was diagnose endometriosis 2 stage after the surgery, I had endo cyst removed, I drank hormones but cyst came back again only half year later. Our doctors only suggested surgery again and more hormones, they dont give a shit and have no idea why endometriosis happen and they dont even care too much.

My mom had to go to 5 OB's to get them to ultrasound her. She had periods that wouldn't stop and in constant pain in her abdomen. Turns out she had a bunch of tumors, one of which was the size of a 6 month fetus would be. There were some attached to her tubes and one of overies. She ended up having surgery within the month for a hysterectomy. This lady is right saying some doctor's undermine some women's symptoms. Normal paps doesn't mean it's always normal.
Unfinished Business wow sorry I didn't see this. That may explain something my mom is brown. She is half native American. So it's a possibility. I however always thought it could be due to so many men being in the field. Unfortunately even though they can be great doctors they don't always understand what that pain is. With that being said I have had some amazing male GYN doctors. Very sympathetic.
I'm literally recovering at home from having endo cysts removed from an ovary and my uterus for the second time. We have also been trying to get pregnant for six years, with no luck. This has been Hell and the cysts will come back, but with hope and luck, we'll get pregnant before they do. Stay strong and lean on your loved ones. They have been my rocks.
I HAVE ENDOMETRIOSIS , AND I ALWAYS CRAVE ICE WHEN IM ON MY PERIOD. I HAVE BEEN TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM ONCE, AND I'VE BEEN TO THE DOCTOR ALOT. THEY ALWAYS PRESCRIBE ME DIFFERENT MEDICINE WHEN I WOULD GO AND GIVE ME THESE HORRIBLE AS WELL AS BASIC TIPS THAT YOU CAN FIND ON GOOGLE THAT DON'T AND DIDN'T WORK . BUT ANYWAYS THE CURE IS TAKING. ONE TABLESPOON. OF ORGANIC MOLASSES EVERYDAY MIXED WITH TEA. EVERYDAY AND WITHIN BUT YOU CAN WATCH UA-cam VIDS ABOUT IT. HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!!!!
Man, I have so much respect for this woman...I too suffer from this and it needs to be brought to light, discussed way more and funding needs to go into researching this disease!!!
At 37 years old I made the decision to have my womb and then some months later ovaries removed. I have not looked back since. I am now 52 this years end and I finally have a life. I have been blessed to have found a job I like. And God bless McDonald's for giving me that chance.
I am so happy Halsey finally got the help. So many women suffer with this disease and can't. It's time for it to be made known and for women to finally get the help that they deserve. Halsey is so beautiful inside and out. Love her
Halsey been through the worst luck. Her struggles with health, money, and homelessness is what makes her so real and her successes so sweet. She is doing a lot to help others cope with her same situation and background, it's inspiring and humbling. If she comes tour near by I gotta support her, she's such a role model.
Omg. I know exactly where she is coming from when she says, that doctors can make you feel like you are being dramatic. And they downplay or minimize what or how you feel. And it leaves me feeling like, well damn.. AM I BEING over dramatic ? AM I BEING sensitive or is this all in my head ? Because most of the time they come back with nothing to show for your symptoms. And it sucks because its like.. I KNOW i have these pains, know how i feel. I remember going to my "primary care doctor" and i told him about my severe back pain.. And i remember telling him a long time ago, at one visit previous.. No pain pills.. Im a recovering addict. So, being 27 years old, having told him my personal back story.. I felt he had a attitude about helping me with my back pain. Received or barely recieved no help or relief. I go to a chiropractor and she took an x ray and from there i learned and very clearly seen that my spine is crooked. I was relieved to know that this wasnt all in my head. Which, is the reason i do not go to the doctors and i do ignore things bc they do make you feel that way sometimes. And its frustrating. I wanted to fax that xray to him so bad and tell him FUCK YOU.
I have chronic pains in my legs and once it got so bad that my stomach, diaphragm and my lower body from waist down hurt so much I couldn’t walk and I could barely breathe because moving my stomach up and down hurt so I spent some weeks in hospital and I went to see a therapist and then a doctor, and that doctor is, to this day, the soul reason I will graduate from medical school and become a doctor or nurse because, he really had the audacity to say to me after I got out of hospital for the level of pain (I’m talking ambulance and putting me in a medically-induced coma and other pain killers) I was in, he said “it’s all of the stress and the anxiety in your head” I swear I was ready to push his medical degree down his oesophagus..
I admire halsey for speaking out, since being diagnosed with endometriosis I've been determined to raise awareness so no woman goes through what I went through
I remember the absolute mental gymnastics I had to do to reconcile what I was feeling physically with what every doctor was saying (I saw 13 specialists before receiving my diagnosis at age 17). I was in the ER at 16, being told that it was all in my head, and being humiliated by a pediatric gynecologist who told me that she was certain I was faking. For drugs or attention, or both. I was so relieved when a doctor finally said, “let’s do an exploratory lap.” I was diagnosed with Stage 4 endo. It was all over my ovary, bladder, and colon. It caused me to drop out of college, and the pain is so bad on some days that I can’t get out of bed. But I know what it is, and I know I’m not faking. I know I’m not crazy. I implore all women to keep fighting for themselves when it comes to their health. Don’t let someone tell you it’s all in your head.
I'm happy that more celebrities are coming out with their stories on endometriosis. It's a highly over looked disease and more awareness definitely needs to be spread worldwide and among doctors .
Halsey is beyond beautiful and I always knew she was a fighter. She's definitely right about it being bittersweet. I was diagnosed with type one diabetes a year ago and my symptoms kept getting brushed off and I was told it's just part of being a kid. My blood sugar was 431 when I had to be rushed to the hospital and they checked it there. I was 14 at the time and at that level I should've been in a coma. The struggle really is real. I'm glad she's not giving up and she's getting the right treatments and everything nobody deserves to go through any type of disease. I love Halsey and her music so much💙💙
"they can make you think it's all in your head" this was so true for me. I am glad I am not the only one or that I am not going crazy ... Problem is even after having surgery it could be that you still have don't a clear solution. So little research on this. It's crazy
A few days ago I made a video on my endometriosis because i'm struggling with it alot right now, and I've been scared to share my story for so long... The fact that what Halsey says and what I say are so so similar is crazy... I truely hope more people open up to listening to these stories. It's important to know your illness, and not to belittle your own pain or anyone elses...
I had cramping pain in between periods and nobody mentioned endo to me. My gyno just put me on BC and it went away. But I was surprised she didn’t even mention it. Seems like doctors don’t know shit and just don’t care.
BC isn't always the answer or cure...and I've tried pills, ring, IUD...none helped and I had bad side effects or new side effects. Had a laparoscopy at 25 to remove multiple golf ball size cysts. Took Naproxen for about a decade. Then it stopped working. Now I can't take it because not only it doesn't work, it rips up my stomach. Consulted top OBGYNs for a total hysterectomy at 24. And the government Health and Human Services Women's Studies confirmed what they all said...cysts can still grow back and your pain isn't guaranteed to be reduced at all. So that's no helpful. I've had periods for years that sound like I'm giving birth because I'm screaming bloody murder. Doesn't help both sides of family has this history. And OBGYNs refuse to prescribe opioid pain meds, which is the only thing that works. I've landed in ER in past where I needed IV morphine it was so horrible. Heating pads or heat patches do nothing for years now. My TENS unit for my painful upper body muscles now started to aggravate my pain. Tried Livia TENS and it's okay in conjunction with Vicodin. Doesn't help I have autoimmune and inflammatory diseases which make my endo worse. And it doesn't matter if the Dr is male or female. Both are uncaring and unwilling to prescribe opioid pain meds despite trying all the aforementioned, as well as acupuncture and natural supplements. Damn CDC who admitted lying about the numbers of false opioid epidemic where legitimate decades long chronic pain sufferers are now cut off and many committing suicide.
I remember the relief of them telling me I have endometriosis, it was like weight lifted off of my shoulders knowing that I wasn’t crazy, but also kind of sad.
I was just diagnosed with endometriosis 2 days ago. I had surgery a week ago to remove a mass that appeared on an ultrasound and for suspected endometriosis. They found so much scar tissue from endometriosis that my doctors assumed I had previous surgeries I didn’t disclose. Getting the lab results back, confirming endometriosis, is the most bittersweet experience. I relate to Halsey on so many levels. Just hearing that it’s not all in my head, that I haven’t been over dramatic, that my pain has a reason has brought so much relief. I cried watching this video. Endometriosis is so minimized. I hope more women fight for help and treatment. I hope more doctors stop and listen like mine did. Thank you, Halsey, for sharing your story.
Bruhhh. So thankful for this person laying it all out for our benefit. And its so true about doctors not taking women seriously! Noone knows your body better than you
Sarah Nicole you might want to look into adeneomyosis. It's a common misconception that endometrosis causes heavy bleeding, more times than not it's adeneomyosis (if you have endo it's very likley you have both)
Bethany Goldsack well that sucks. After my excision surgery for endometriosis my doctor said my uterus was healthy now. I wonder how you know if you have this other issue if it's inside the lining.
I'm so glad they are speaking up about this issue. My period have never been a problem for me, like it's just blood and no tears, so I always found it scary and definitely weird that some of my friends would encounter such pain!
Since I was 12 I’ve suffered very painful and very heavy periods to the point that I would miss days of school every month. It got to the point that I was so weak I couldn’t even walk for the two weeks after without feeling like I was going to collapse. I went to the doctor recently as it has started to get worse. So now I’m waiting for the results and I really hope they have a diagnosis for me. I think it’s really good that Halsey has come out to talk about her endometriosis because there are many people who can relate to her story yet there is a lot of secrecy around the topic
I have Endometriosis too. In 2011 my gynecologist found a 6 cm cyst in my left ovary and I had surgery. I've been afraid to go off birth control pills ever since. Haven't gotten a period in seven years.
I watched someone struggle with this, as I carried them to dr after dr after dr, and they pushed so many pain meds, before I ever realized, this person had a whole different life altering problem that brought sooo much destruction. I love that she is speaking up about this. I hope this shines light in dark places, so that even if only one person doesn't get forced into this same path. You are truly awesome Hasley! Thank you!
I've been living with endometriosis for 25 years and I can honestly say it's a very painful disease. Before I was diagnosed with it I was in excruciating pain during the months of my cycle..so much pain that I could barely get out of bed and walk. But even after being diagnosed my doctor made it seem like it wasn't a big deal and put me on naproxen for the pain. NO it was a big DEAL and I'm still dealing with the pain monthly! Nobody should live with that kind of pain every month but I just push through it...
After reading your comment I had to send you a message! I’ve dealt with endometriosis for years as well and doctors just pushing me onto the next doctor until I found Dr. Martin robbins once again… I say that because he actually delivered one of my babies 20 years ago almost but I just had surgery with Dr. Robbins this past year and it’s been a year to the day just about and my life has forever changed he is an angel in my eyes! Many doctors or OB doctors will go in and try to remove the endometriosis but they actually if you don’t get it all it will keep on growing and multiplying throughout your body and I actually got endometriosis all throughout my organs and it was the worst pain of my life… I can now honestly say that I live pretty much pain-free during my period times is pretty normal once again finally I mean I couldn’t even go to the bathroom without crying that’s how bad the endometriosis was! To anyone out there suffering I would urge you to contact Dr. Martin robbins in Maine… Scarborough Maine he’s absolutely incredible!!
People have actually come to him from all over the world to have their endometriosis treated it is a complete life-changing experience to go from being in so much pain every day of your life to a completely normal pain-free life once again… I owe him everything!
I had endometriosis for many years before I actually knew it. I first realized I had it when I went in for a hysterectomy. I suffered with severe cramps for years, but just thought it was normal. Because of how severe the endo was, it caused so much damage to my insides, causing me to have to have a full hysterectomy. The dr had to rebuild my bladder as well. So glad people are finally coming out about it..
Thankfully I’ve always had the opposite. I have bad periods but not endometriosis, and whenever I mention it to doctors, if it’s their first time hearing about my period problems they often then start asking me if I have any of the other symptoms of endometriosis, such as fainting and very heavy blood flows. The propensity for people to dismiss such things as “just a women’s problem” disgusts me. So because it’s a problem affecting women it’s not important?
I love halsey with all my heart. She is an inspiration to me on every level, I am glad she is getting professional diagnosis and maybe even help. As her fan, I wish her luck and health
A miscarriage itself is sad, waiting to see the heartbeat of your baby and hearing that there's no heartbeat. Some women have to pass the cleaning procedure after miscarrying, which is quite painful too, so pain is both physical and emotional
I remember that I also struggled with a lot of these pains, but also in my bladder. I was peeing blood and even though I knew it wasn't my uterus, still it took the doctors a *year* to finally diagnose me right cause they thought it indeed was all 'in my head'. Just like halsey said, it was a relieve that I knew I wasn't making this up. But still. I wasn't taken serious for a very long time, until one very nice female doctor found out I had bladder cancer. I feel like nowadays the doctors are just so easy with diagnosing, I wish it were different. Poor her, poor us. - I got a surgery immediately after doctors realised they had to get this tumor out, also because of my age. Bladder tumors are rare for people with age 20. I'm gonna get a checkup 25 october to see if it has grown back. And then every year a check-up for 5 years.
I suffer from severe endometriosis and I ALWAYS have Doctors just minimizing my pain...I have my appendix burst back in 2008..and Because I was soo used to having such excrutiating periods, I legit thought I had just pulled amuscle or something...little did I know, ..I faint a lot too ( well used to more Before finding the right pain treatment), I have been accused of beeing a Drug Addict...that it"s all in my head...that my body is just dependant on pain pills that it isn't taking care of the pain anymore..blah blah! I have had to call the ambulance on myself several times cuz I couldn"t even Get out of bed..I physicaly could not WALK I was in Sooo much pain...and then I got to the ER...and they drop me at the regulae triage and told me to wait like everyone else cuz pain is not considered an "emergency" ... ! It's Brutal what I have gone through and CONTINUE to go through! I had surgery and after my surgeon came to see me and said to me " You were so overdue for a cleanup that your intestins were glued together from all the dried up blood inside you! I have never seen a case as bad as yours before!" ... Yet..it"s apparently all in my head..
Fuck western medicine, go to Chinese doctors! Five years ago I was diagnose endometriosis 2 stage after the surgery, I had endo cyst removed, I drank hormones but cyst came back again only half year later. Our doctors only suggested surgery again and more hormones, they dont give a shit and have no idea why endometriosis happen and they dont even care too much. Unlike Chinese medicine doctors, they do understand how endometriosis and infertility happens, they do observe your body. In my case I had too much dampness in my body, liver was not so well and I had bad blood circulation so Chinese doctor prescribed special mix of herbs to drink everyday 3-4 months and do acupuncture. Strictly no coffee, diary products, no cold drinks/foods, more dark red vegetables to increase blood quality and it helped alot! It reduced cyst, pain, I had no pain at all during period because blood was light and flow was easy = no cramps. I went to few other doctors and according to them i dont even have endometriosis anymore. Im not sure Chinese medicine cured it but it can help alot! Important thing is avoiding pesticides, becouse chemicals in it disbalance hormone levels in your body and cysts happen and even worse
If you suspect or have Endometriosis, find an Excision specialist. I had stage 4, along with Adenomyosis( often a co-morbid condition). I had surgery 2 yrs ago and I'm now pain free. Ablation, Lupron, and hysterectomies are not long term treatments for this disease.
Yesterday I got diagnosed with endometriosis and became upset. But my doctor assured me and gave me medication and exercises to do. This video really made me cry because I can relate to what she's saying. I hope I'm able to recover from the painful periods I had been experiencing.
Wow I never really thought much of Halsey before watching this, now after seeing the video I feel for her so much and have such a deep respect for her and for sharing her story. Bless her 💙
baole58 you don’t have to be a bitch. She was frustrated about the hotel not having shampoo for people of colour, you’re telling me that she isn’t allowed to tweet about how annoying it is to not be able to wash her hair? Mate, I would be pissed too so go get some background info before you slap something into the comments, just saying.
baole58 yeah I understand that she could’ve been a little lighter on the situation but she was in Australia at the time(Brisbane in particular, which is where I live) and you aren’t allowed to bring shampoo with you on an international flight and on a national flight you can only have like 50ml which in case you don’t use metric is like two or three handfuls of shampoo, that’s why she was so frustrated bc Brisbane was her last show and she would’ve used it already if she had brought/bought some. Also I think the reason she was talking about it and being annoyed about it is because people don’t talk about it and she has the platform to talk about it on. And yes people who are different colour then white need different hair care and shampoo etc. so I don’t really get why people are so upset about her saying this.
Wow I feel so bad for her, having suffered from this disease I know her pain all too well. My mom got headaches with her period never cramps, so she didn't understand what I was experiencing nor take you to the doctor that quick. But as a teenager I knew something serious was wrong, you shouldn't have to be balled up in the fetal position, throwing up all day, and about to pass out the first day of your period EVERY month. My severe cramps went away from 10th grade(I started in 6th grade) until I was 21 or 22 then they came back with a vengeance. I would hurt the week before, during, and after my period. I began research myself and figured it out along with the help of an OB-GYN I ran into on the elevator in the building where I was a dental assistant. I didn't realize at the time this would be a life long disease I would have to endure until menopause or having a hysterectomy. Well unfortunately I had to have the latter at age 31, which I asked for after 10 yrs of pain and having a son 3 yrs prior. At this point the endometriosis had my bowel fused to my left ovary, intestines, and appendix. It was spreading upward and I wasn't taking any chances of it damaging anymore of my organs. I didn't intend on a full hysterectomy at 31 but the disease had damaged my ovaries so badly that they had to come out. I'm so glad this painful disease is finally being talked about and now even there's a commercial on it. I had just gotten engaged when I got my diagnosis and was so lost as to what it meant for my future and thought I was cured after my first round of Lupron injections. Boy was I wrong. But women please don't hurt in silence or ignore your daughters and just think this is what's suppose to come with a period. Talk to your doctor in detail about your pain.
Hey I have a question. Was it only on the first day of every month that you had that pain? Because for me, if i don't take advil the first day i'm literally going to have an anxiety attack and possibly pass out... I start sweating, then i get super weak and my vision starts going but luckily i've never completely passed out. However, after the first day I usually don't need medicine and everything is fine. Is that possible for someone with endo? And thanks for sharing~
Lala Definitely the first day and sometimes the second. I don't know how long you have been experiencing your pain, but after a year or so Advil did nothing for me. I started on NSAID's, then the lowest dose of prescription pain meds, and worked my way up to the higher strengths. So now my body is so immune to them that I barely get drowsy unless I lay down. But it does sound like your symptoms may be endo or some other issues with your ovaries thst you need to discuss with your gynecologist.
The lyrics "I'm so glad I never ever had a baby with you" hit a lot harder after hearing this.
Rg Butler that’s so fucking disrespectful
@@dubakoo wtf are you talking about?
First: she doesn't have to explain why did she write those lyrics.
Second: she said about it this: ”the baby line is supposed to be facetious”.
can y’ll stop being annoying! Just listen and shut up. that’s her music and she can write ANYTHING without explaining to us.
All respect for Halsey.
@@rachelmurphy7329 I think their talking to someone that’s a g-eazy stan
I actually said the same to my ex boyfriend after my laparoscopic surgery 2 weeks ago when I heard mine is stage 4 and apparently I'm going to be infertile.
I’m glad she ended up having a proper diagnosis. It’s hard when no one understands. I wish her health and happiness
Why did you write 'know one" instead of "no one" ?
Abdelhak B because I’m human and people make fucking typos
Don't get mad at me, I was just confused, I thought it was some sort of joke...

@Harden Thicke It isn't mainly because it doesn't show up on any scans (unless you have cysts big enough to see, and not everyone with endometriosis gets cysts) so the only way to truly diagnose it is to go in and do surgery. And unfortunately doctors can be quite dismissive, I had an OB/GYN tell me that it was just painful periods, and that I would "grow out of it at 18" (obviously not the case). So it can be frustrating trying to find a diagnosis, especially if you happen to get doctors who aren't willing to do surgery because their patient is "too young" or think they're doing their patients a favor by not going in and looking around.
I admire Halsey so much for speaking up about endometriosis. I’ve been to so many doctors who think I’m over exaggerating or they don’t wanna do anything about my endo pain. It’s frustrating
Ashlee Rose I HAVE ENDOMETRIOSIS , AND I ALWAYS CRAVE ICE WHEN IM ON MY PERIOD. I HAVE BEEN TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM ONCE, AND I'VE BEEN TO THE DOCTOR ALOT. THEY ALWAYS PRESCRIBE ME DIFFERENT MEDICINE WHEN I WOULD GO AND GIVE ME THESE HORRIBLE AS WELL AS BASIC TIPS THAT YOU CAN FIND ON GOOGLE THAT DON'T AND DIDN'T WORK . BUT ANYWAYS THE CURE IS TAKING. ONE TABLESPOON. OF ORGANIC MOLASSES EVERYDAY MIXED WITH TEA. EVERYDAY AND WITHIN BUT YOU CAN WATCH UA-cam VIDS ABOUT IT. HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!!!!
Ms.Nicole Waters why the caps chill
Cecia Dobrev WHY NOT HAVE CAPS, SHES SHARING AN EXPERIENCE. NOW SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LET HER DO WHAT SHE WANTS. K, COOL.
Ashlee Rose m
Keep trying. Get a second opinion. Log all of your pain every day. Bring someone to your appointment that can vouch for you. I had severe endo and adenomyosis for years and nobody ever believed me till hospital visits and an MRI scan. Had a hysterectomy at age 30 to get my life back. Pain free for 2 years....it's amazing. I'm so sorry to hear you've been in pain. Don't give up.
My daughter has PCOS and suspected Endo. They did surgery to find out if she had it, but we were told it was "Inconclusive". She has missed so much school this year that they almost didn't let her graduate. When I explained to her school principal what was going on and how much pain these two issues cause he told me "Well I mean, its just female issues. She should toughen up" That's when I sent him a 16 page document explaining these diseases from a doctors stand point. Ladies listen to your bodies and listen to your little girls when they say they are hurting. Do NOT put it off to having "Bad periods" MAKE YOUR DOCTORS LISTEN TO YOU. You know your bodies.
Lisa Clevenger I have Endo and it sounds like she definitely has it. I have been studying this disease for the last 10 years. Just so you know, there is NO treatment aside from excision surgery. No BC or IUD can help. They seem to but it’s a bandaid and it makes the Endometriosis worse. Your daughter needs to be diagnosed via diagnostic laparoscopic surgery.
She had surgery, they didn't find any evidence of her having it, however she also had multiple ultra sounds to prove she had/didnt have PCOS and they never found anything until the surgery. The doctor did tell me that just because he didn't see any evidence of it, doesn't mean she don't have it. So I have very little faith in the doctors here in our town. Right now we have her in a chemically induced menopause. I am trying very hard to get her into see a specialist or a different doctor.
Lisa Clevenger oh no. Don’t tell me they put her on Lupron?! That doesn’t DO anything except make you feel sick! If it does provide pain relief, it’s only temporary because you can’t take that shot longer than 6 months. Then it comes all back full force. You need NEED to see an actual Endometriosis excison specialist. Mine is Dr Dulemba. He is one of the best in the country. Also Dr Cook. They use the Robotic Laproscopic technique which gives them better view of the peritoneal area in the pelvic area including the cul de sac. I’m going to Med school to specialize in Endometriosis because women need to be taken seriously with this. Especially when they are 16!! I had mine since 13 and I’m 38 and just recently got it all excised. I feel like a different woman. There are zero drugs to help this disease. Just excision. I’m so sorry. I sympathize your pain and frustration.
Lisa Clevenger you're an amazing mum for listening to your daughter and trying to get help for her.
Lisa Clevenger amen
She had a miscarriage on stage!! Oh my gosh poor thing.
she had before going on stage, but her management told her to perform anyway, and wear diapers
Eloise Bean oh my gosh. They really made her wear diapers!
The whole thing is recorded. It's her Vevo performance for Badlands
Nessa Horan/Malik omg I’m gonna have to watch
no, she actually chose to perform after her miscarriage
Her voice when she’s talking much pain 💔
Now she’s pregnant ❤️
Yay!
Yesss
And now she gave birth ❤
Whaaaaaa
Endometriosis is no joke it's a debilitating disease and everyday doctors brush it under the rug 😩
Endo Mom annoying emoji
I've been struggling with my endo for 9 years and I feel like it gets worse after every laproscopy... Nothing helps, it often feels like it controls my life... It's crippling sometimes. But the worst thing is how no one understands how serious this pain is... How broken it can make you feel... And having years and years of Dr.s telling you it's not as bad as you make it out to be, that you're being dramatic, that it's all in your head can damage your mentally..
Ms.Nicole Waters bitch stop copying and pasting this it’s annoying you probably don’t even have it
Cecia Dobrev Pain areas: in the lower abdomen, lower back, pelvis, rectum, or vagina
Pain circumstances: can occur during sexual intercourse or while defecating
Menstrual: abnormal menstruation, heavy menstruation, irregular menstruation, painful menstruation, or spotting
Gastrointestinal: constipation or nausea
Abdominal: abdominal fullness or cramping
Also common: infertility
Sweetheart I have most of these symptoms besides Sex and infertility they're unknown because I never had sex .
Ms.Nicole Waters ok but why are you copy and pasting it everywhere in caps like it’s a bit much. Do you wanna help people or just want attention. I’m not accusing you of anything just wondering.
I didn't know about this. My poor baby, I just want to give her a hug.
BangtanMyBangtan army 🥺💗

Here after her pregnancy announcement today!! I could not be happier for her and her rainbow baby!! CONGRATS HALSEY!!! Sending love and the best vibes to you and your baby! Also sending love to everyone/anyone currently going through fertility issues, any issue, or just pregnant and trying to get by every day. We're all doing the best we can and are not alone. Love you all
She’s looks like a mix of Pink and Kristen Stewart
She looks like Kate Beckinsale to me.
@mrgeorge118 who? I've never heard her say that shes black.
@Elizabeth Ray well yes but I'm a huge fan of halsey and I'm pretty sure I've watched everything shes done..interviews, shows, UA-cam, podcast etc...never heard her say that... she could say it but I've just never heard it.
@Elizabeth Ray right. Who knows...she could have. She is technically black... lol but yea. It dosen't really sound like something she would say...not that there is anything wrong with it...
@Elizabeth Ray oh I agree. I have a very mixed family. Black and Hispanic. I think I'm the only one that married a white person 🤣 but yea... it's like you have to be whiter than the whites and blacker then the blacks. It's how it is. But technically I did hear that your race is your father's race. So on her birth certificate, its says black female.
I thought I would have never been able to have a child because of my Endometriosis, my period used to be clots of blood just flowing out of me and my legs felt like they wanted to give out....but since I met my gynecologist he examined me and basically told me anything is possible so I tried and Dec 2018 my pumpkin was born healthy and I’m doing fine...have faith that it will work out 😊😊
Awww congratulations!
I love that story Everton...I had endometriosis when I was 21 and my gyno said I may have to have a time in my life when I would have to try for kids...it broke my heart knowing I may not have kids which I've always dreamed of...7 years later I have 2 handsome boys and the same gyno that told me that just delivered my last born. It goes to show you God has plans for everyone and he is real.
Congrats 😊
I'm the father I love my wife and kids wish you could have been sweet and mentioned my name

Hi
Who came back after she annouced her pregnancy ?
I don’t have endometriosis but I do have a chronic condition. Nothing is worse then visiting different doctors for months or years and having them tell you you are just making it up. I wish that on no one, it’s so heartbreaking and frustrating.
Same, I have Chronic Lyme Disease and it's been so great to finally have an answer after having less accurate tests say negative. The pain of having to fight with yourself because everyone and the doctors is saying your pain is basically in your head, I will never be able to get out of my mind. I've had a doctor tell me it was anxiety and depression and that I had to tell myself I was okay and I would be. And that my mother had to be my cheerleader when I didn't feel good. I've been told I was making it up. It's a battle people with chronic illnesses have to deal with, on top of trying to keep all your broken pieces together when your condition starts flaring up.
Legendofpickle387 I’m going through the same thing right now. May I ask what your symptoms are? Doctors keep telling me nothing is wrong even though I feel horrible
Yeah I know the feel. I remember the feeling I got after hundreds of analyses which came back negative, but my symptoms still there..where one doctor saw the results but said that she believes me. Ohmygosh what a weight lifted off me, these words were already healing. I got diagnosed with chronic fatigue. I don't have it now this much but still struggling with various stuff, adhd etc. :)
But it's essential to find the doctor who you can trust, be honest with and who believes you!
is it just an american problem?
It's the same for me. For a long time my parents didn't believe me and I had to learn to deal with it on my own at age 9. Finally we got a good female PA who was able to diagnose me with a chronic illness two years later. 2 years of tearful pain and no one believed me. It's difficult for anyone going through this. No matter what other people say, YOU KNOW YOUR BODY. You do. If something feels wrong, something is wrong. That's it.
Her voice is so soothing. Also I love her honesty. Her vulnerability is admirable.
One of the most powerful lady I have ever seen in my life. Truly inspirational.
She is really pretty
TitansCards28 no
its not the lashes you soulless human she is just very pretty
Bunny_yx really she has a disease fuck off
she is way more pretty than you stupid ass bunny
Bunny_yx how old are you and I actually have a heart and don't shit on people
Too many doctors dismiss women when we go to them for these issues.
I haven’t been back to my OB because I sat in her office crying about my pain and she told me “You’re normal here’s BC”.
I refuse to be dismissed in terms of my health. Don’t put up with it ladies!
Danielle M the fact that it was a female doctor who told you that is disgusting.
The same happened to me. Finally I found the courage to go to the ob/gyn (have severe anxiety and am off work for about a year now dealing with 'life'), as I was telling her about my extremely painful periods, the cramps in a full blown panic attack, she tells me 'but you should start working, it'll do you good'. I got up and left. I was sooo angry. This was also a female doctor......
Vicky Manson I am so sorry that, that happened to you! Is this what our healthcare has come to? Doctors are too busy seeing a high volume of patients and would rather write a prescription or rush you out of the office than really figure out *why* the symptoms are happening. I hope you’re able to find a good doctor that will take time and listen to what you have to say!
La la la Right?
doctors are not as smart as people think so you have to keep seeking out a good one. there are good doctors but they are hard to find.
I never thought Endo was THAT painful until mine developed recently that I was in THE worse pain of my life. Endo is no joke
gosh im so happy for her now, she is finally having the baby she has wished for
It feels great to see someone like Halsey speak out about it. I've been dealing with endo sines I was 11. I'd be having extreme pain to the point where I'd faint, throw up or get a really bad upset stomach. But I also have anxiety so everyone would just say "oh it's just a bad stomach pain" or "oh you're just anxious" and since I was so young they didn't want to look into it straight away. Fast forward till I was 14-15 and I went back to my doctors where my pain had gotten increasingly worse, I was pretty much have a period that could go for months at a time and they pretty much went yep. You have it. And gave me some stuff to help. But I related to this so much especially when she said they said she was just anxious because yeah of course you are. You are in so much pain to the point where you can't even cry or move. I sometimes can't to to school for a week or two when it gets bad. So yeah you become a little scared of it cause it hurts like hell. I have never experienced a worse pain. And that's saying something especially because let's just say my stomach pain tolerance has become pretty high from dealing with it for so long. But I'm so sorry that Halsey had to go through that but also thank you for speaking out about it because it's more common then you think xx
Exactly what you said "you can't even cry or move" someone finally understood me.
Damn, you were even younger than me. I started having symptoms at 14, one year after my period started. It started as bad nausea (as you already understand, it legitimately feels like the stomach flu) a day or two before my period, and bad cramps the day before/the day of. Symptoms gradually got worse and for years I had no idea what was wrong with me. I hate the "I literally can't deal with this anymore" breakdowns that leave you feeling worse.
Hats off to you ladies I couldn't even imagine all the things you ladies go through!!
Aw, thank you for your kind comment.
Simp
Sometimes just having someone acknowledge our pain helps. The emotional pain of being dismissed when you are in physical pain makes it almost unbearable at times. Thank you for your kind words.
thank you sir. good man
My sister has STRUGGLED with this condition. I remember being scared when I was younger because my sister would be crying in so much pain at times. My sister had one particularly bad night and woke me up from her painful moans and whimpering. I went in her room and asked if she was okay. I was 9 she was 14 anyhow her bed was bad bloody and mom took her to the hospital and they finally diagnosed her. I feel for any woman going through this.
I know how she felt. It took them 5yrs to figured it out that is had endmo. They keep telling me I was crazy. I also was passing out from so much pain. They also told me I had less then 30% chance of having children and thanks to God I had two wonderful boys.
The same exact thing happened with me, i recently made a video speaking on my own story. I'm 20 now and likely will never be able to have kids of my own. I'm happy to hear you have children despite your endo, thats awesome!
Literally took 5 years for me to get diagnosed. I was told IBS, lactose intolerance, all sorts. Eventually, after a proper mri scam I was diagnosed
Doctors dismiss endometriosis on purpose because they don't know how to help us. we are often called "heart sink" patients, because their hearts sink as we walk in the room. I had one doctor literally say to me " well what do you want me to do about it ? you are very difficult to treat you know that right?" acting as though it was my fault, that I was ruining his day. For a doctor we can ruin their whole day so in return instead of working out how to help, lots prefer to take what is an easy option for their day, but in turn can ruin our lives. its so good shes speaking out, so many ladies are now ditching crap doctors who don't listen and pushing for better help and finally getting the guts to press charges against abusive doctors thanks to people speaking out like this!
@- - amen. Pill made me bleed worse and the depo shot. So they say surgery only option next
@- - yeah the shot and the mini pill didnt work...i wanted to stop mine completely too. No such luck. I can't have estrogen due to clots so there wasn't any other options left . Thank you I'm glad you are having some relief and i hope you continue having that 💜
I want to be a doctor.
I swear upon every star that I will take your thoughts and engrain them into motivations. Thank you.
Girls, women, fuck western medicine, go to Chinese doctors!

Im so frustrated that I ha to literary read all google pages about endometriosis in two languages to finally know what to do , I can easilly tell that now I know more about endometriosis than my gynecologist who doesnt give a fuck and only tells what her books taught
I’m so glad she talked about this. It helped me so much. I started with the symptoms at age 10 when I started my period, and it took them 2 years to figure it out. I’ve had two surgeries and the second one it had spread worse throughout my body. I’m 13 now and it’s been the worst years of my life. I wish the best to anybody who has this disease or any, because it really sucks.

Oh my god, shes been through so much and still continues to do what she loves . She’s such a strong woman, well done Halsey
I’m SO THANKFUL that she & other famous women are speaking up & out about this awful disease. I went TWENTY FIVE years undiagnosed & I am still suffering at 41 years old. I pray the next generation of girls & women will not suffer as badly as I have.
💛💛💛
I have endometriosis too and never would have thought she had it! She’s so inspiring showing what you can do even when suffering
She is a resilient woman. To deal with and overcome the struggles of mental disorder (bipolar) and physical disease with such strength and grace is inspiring to say the least. Peace and power to her.

I have endometriosis and I’m so happy to see someone famous speak out!
In 2010 I went in to check on my birth control and doctor found a huge mass on my ovary. I was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis. The doctor was surprised I wasn't hunched over when I came in. I was one of those people that never had pain and never would have found out. I had to have laproscopic surgery. The mass was too hard so they had to cut my pelvic area. Didnt find out till after I woke up that they had to remove my left ovary because it was so badly damaged from the endometriosis. Thankfully I never had a problem with fertility. One ovary and all. God is good!
they found a chocolate cyst for me meaning i might have endometriosis and immediately i got scared i would not be able to conceive
I seriously don't know how Hasley managed so much . I can hardly get out of bed with Endo
Poor girl glad she was diagnosed and getting the treatment she needs
Oh bless her heart! I was misdiagnosed with ibs for several years, until finally, the right dr. Suspected endometriosis and did surgery. It was so bad I had to have a full hysterectomy. Endometriosis pain is no joke and kept me out of work constantly. It was so hard to hold down a job due the excruciating pain and almost lost my life in 2005 from it.
Omg, I didn’t know she was suffering from endometriosis & I have the same condition & I feel her on another level
Look at Halsey sporting that off white on the doctors my girlll
She loves off-white, she wore an oversized men's t-shirt paired with only boots to her festival performance in the Netherlands, and she was Slaying!
I have so much respect for Halsey and hearing what she went though absolutely breaks my heart. You can really hear the pain in her voice, especially when she was talking about her miscarriage and every aspect of that is so heartbreaking. No one deserves to go through that or anything close, and the fact that she spoke out about it makes me so proud of her, because you can see how hard it is for her to tell that story.
I have PCOS and endometriosis stage 4. Always was in pain and all doctors kept ignoring it failing to tell me I had a cyst the size of a fist. Lost my right ovary at age 17.
My periods were normal except heavy bleeding, I’d pass out, and would cry in pain skipping majority of my senior year of high school. Currently it’s been 4 years since surgery and non stop hormone therapy. Wonder if I can ever have kids but I hated that this could of been prevented if the doctors didn’t just say it was just in my head and it was all just “PMS”
Moongoddessmystica Nikki Restrepo A friend of mine was in the exact same state as you ,but in her case she had to remove a part of her other ovary as well. Even with one ovary you can still have children. My friend had a child even with the one problematic ovary she had. Be strong and be positive!
I had started going to the GYN for my serious pain and heavy bleeding at the age of 13. By the time I was 16 I was failing school, and by 17 the Dr. decided to see if i had endo via laparoscopy. Well, turns out the pain was so increadibly bad because my endo was growing near a nerve and was close to growing over it. He couldn't remove it because he would likely damage my nerve. Had it not taken years to diagnose me it likely would never have gotten to that point, and now I have to continue to have surgeries to minimize my endo knowing they can never fully remove it.
Im so sad to read this and see how many girls doesnt know how to deal with :/ Fuck western medicine, go to Chinese doctors! Five years ago I was diagnose endometriosis 2 stage after the surgery, I had endo cyst removed, I drank hormones but cyst came back again only half year later. Our doctors only suggested surgery again and more hormones, they dont give a shit and have no idea why endometriosis happen and they dont even care too much. Unlike Chinese medicine doctors, they do understand how endometriosis and infertility happens, they do observe your body. In my case I had too much dampness in my body, liver was not so well and I had bad blood circulation so Chinese doctor prescribed special mix of herbs to drink everyday 3-4 months and do acupuncture. Strictly no coffee, diary products, no cold drinks/foods, more dark red vegetables to increase blood quality and it helped alot! It reduced cyst, pain, I had no pain at all during period because blood was light and flow was easy = no cramps. I went to few other doctors and according to them i dont even have endometriosis anymore. Im not sure Chinese medicine cured it but it can help alot! Important thing is avoiding pesticides, becouse chemicals in it disbalance hormone levels in your body and cysts happen and even worse
My mom had to go to 5 OB's to get them to ultrasound her. She had periods that wouldn't stop and in constant pain in her abdomen. Turns out she had a bunch of tumors, one of which was the size of a 6 month fetus would be. There were some attached to her tubes and one of overies. She ended up having surgery within the month for a hysterectomy. This lady is right saying some doctor's undermine some women's symptoms. Normal paps doesn't mean it's always normal.
consciously trying I wonder if this is what's wrong with my sister... I'm gonna tell her to ask for an ultrasound.. thank you
Mallorie Erin possibly. I mean with odds at one in ten experience this. Either way she needs to trust her instincts.
LovingJesus 98 my mom is awesome. This was a few years ago that she had the surgery. Total 180.
LovingJesus 98 thank you and thanks for asking.
Unfinished Business wow sorry I didn't see this. That may explain something my mom is brown. She is half native American. So it's a possibility. I however always thought it could be due to so many men being in the field. Unfortunately even though they can be great doctors they don't always understand what that pain is. With that being said I have had some amazing male GYN doctors. Very sympathetic.
I'm literally recovering at home from having endo cysts removed from an ovary and my uterus for the second time. We have also been trying to get pregnant for six years, with no luck. This has been Hell and the cysts will come back, but with hope and luck, we'll get pregnant before they do.
Stay strong and lean on your loved ones. They have been my rocks.
Two Trick Pony wish u the best
I HAVE ENDOMETRIOSIS , AND I ALWAYS CRAVE ICE WHEN IM ON MY PERIOD. I HAVE BEEN TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM ONCE, AND I'VE BEEN TO THE DOCTOR ALOT. THEY ALWAYS PRESCRIBE ME DIFFERENT MEDICINE WHEN I WOULD GO AND GIVE ME THESE HORRIBLE AS WELL AS BASIC TIPS THAT YOU CAN FIND ON GOOGLE THAT DON'T AND DIDN'T WORK . BUT ANYWAYS THE CURE IS TAKING. ONE TABLESPOON. OF ORGANIC MOLASSES EVERYDAY MIXED WITH TEA. EVERYDAY AND WITHIN BUT YOU CAN WATCH UA-cam VIDS ABOUT IT. HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!!!!
I hope that you Will get pregnant very soon❤️
Wishing you the best, I admire your spirit and hope you get pregnant and are a blessed with a little miracle soon.
You are not alone love. Stay strong!! ❣️
Omg miscarrying on stage 😭. So sad i have endo and its so hard to even get a dx.
Ms.Nicole Waters thanks for the tip!
Ms.Nicole Waters don’t shout
I love this so much ! I suffer from Endometriosis and PCOS and this really makes me feel better knowing I’m not the only one ❤️
Man, I have so much respect for this woman...I too suffer from this and it needs to be brought to light, discussed way more and funding needs to go into researching this disease!!!
At 37 years old I made the decision to have my womb and then some months later ovaries removed. I have not looked back since.
I am now 52 this years end and I finally have a life. I have been blessed to have found a job I like. And God bless McDonald's for giving me that chance.
Halsey is an incredible woman! Imagine someone telling you that you are exaggerating when they don’t know how it feels.
this made me bawl my eyes out, the cincert where she had a miscarriage you wouldn't even have known. she's so strong
I am so happy Halsey finally got the help. So many women suffer with this disease and can't. It's time for it to be made known and for women to finally get the help that they deserve. Halsey is so beautiful inside and out. Love her
Halsey is the most realest and raw person ever, I love her.
BeautyontheDL she problematic asf
Halsey been through the worst luck. Her struggles with health, money, and homelessness is what makes her so real and her successes so sweet. She is doing a lot to help others cope with her same situation and background, it's inspiring and humbling. If she comes tour near by I gotta support her, she's such a role model.
Omg. I know exactly where she is coming from when she says, that doctors can make you feel like you are being dramatic. And they downplay or minimize what or how you feel. And it leaves me feeling like, well damn.. AM I BEING over dramatic ? AM I BEING sensitive or is this all in my head ? Because most of the time they come back with nothing to show for your symptoms. And it sucks because its like.. I KNOW i have these pains, know how i feel. I remember going to my "primary care doctor" and i told him about my severe back pain.. And i remember telling him a long time ago, at one visit previous.. No pain pills.. Im a recovering addict. So, being 27 years old, having told him my personal back story.. I felt he had a attitude about helping me with my back pain. Received or barely recieved no help or relief. I go to a chiropractor and she took an x ray and from there i learned and very clearly seen that my spine is crooked. I was relieved to know that this wasnt all in my head. Which, is the reason i do not go to the doctors and i do ignore things bc they do make you feel that way sometimes. And its frustrating. I wanted to fax that xray to him so bad and tell him FUCK YOU.
I've struggled woth endometriosis and polycystic ovarian syndrome for over 6 years now.. I'm so glad to see influential women speaking out!!
I really don’t like Halsey’s personality at times but I really appreciate her doing this so people with endometriosis have someone to look up too.
I’m newly diagnosed at age 48. I’m glad to know she’s diagnosed so young.... and can access treatment.
The people who disliked had tears in their eyes and pressed the wrong button
she’s so strong. i love her so much. 💘
I have chronic pains in my legs and once it got so bad that my stomach, diaphragm and my lower body from waist down hurt so much I couldn’t walk and I could barely breathe because moving my stomach up and down hurt so I spent some weeks in hospital and I went to see a therapist and then a doctor, and that doctor is, to this day, the soul reason I will graduate from medical school and become a doctor or nurse because, he really had the audacity to say to me after I got out of hospital for the level of pain (I’m talking ambulance and putting me in a medically-induced coma and other pain killers) I was in, he said “it’s all of the stress and the anxiety in your head” I swear I was ready to push his medical degree down his oesophagus..
I admire halsey for speaking out, since being diagnosed with endometriosis I've been determined to raise awareness so no woman goes through what I went through
I remember the absolute mental gymnastics I had to do to reconcile what I was feeling physically with what every doctor was saying (I saw 13 specialists before receiving my diagnosis at age 17). I was in the ER at 16, being told that it was all in my head, and being humiliated by a pediatric gynecologist who told me that she was certain I was faking. For drugs or attention, or both. I was so relieved when a doctor finally said, “let’s do an exploratory lap.” I was diagnosed with Stage 4 endo. It was all over my ovary, bladder, and colon. It caused me to drop out of college, and the pain is so bad on some days that I can’t get out of bed. But I know what it is, and I know I’m not faking. I know I’m not crazy. I implore all women to keep fighting for themselves when it comes to their health. Don’t let someone tell you it’s all in your head.
I hope you're doing well ❤️ I'm struggling with endo too and had the same experience of being told it's all in my head
I'm happy that more celebrities are coming out with their stories on endometriosis. It's a highly over looked disease and more awareness definitely needs to be spread worldwide and among doctors .
Im really glad this condition is getting more recognition and hopefully girls in the future will not have to fight as hard for a diagnosis
Halsey is beyond beautiful and I always knew she was a fighter. She's definitely right about it being bittersweet. I was diagnosed with type one diabetes a year ago and my symptoms kept getting brushed off and I was told it's just part of being a kid. My blood sugar was 431 when I had to be rushed to the hospital and they checked it there. I was 14 at the time and at that level I should've been in a coma. The struggle really is real. I'm glad she's not giving up and she's getting the right treatments and everything nobody deserves to go through any type of disease. I love Halsey and her music so much💙💙
"they can make you think it's all in your head" this was so true for me. I am glad I am not the only one or that I am not going crazy ... Problem is even after having surgery it could be that you still have don't a clear solution. So little research on this. It's crazy
Halsey has been through so much. She deserves all the success, love and support.
A few days ago I made a video on my endometriosis because i'm struggling with it alot right now, and I've been scared to share my story for so long... The fact that what Halsey says and what I say are so so similar is crazy... I truely hope more people open up to listening to these stories. It's important to know your illness, and not to belittle your own pain or anyone elses...
This is my entire life. I’m so glad she’s speaking about this.
I had cramping pain in between periods and nobody mentioned endo to me. My gyno just put me on BC and it went away. But I was surprised she didn’t even mention it. Seems like doctors don’t know shit and just don’t care.
B Elise They know but don't care to tell us..
BC isn't always the answer or cure...and I've tried pills, ring, IUD...none helped and I had bad side effects or new side effects. Had a laparoscopy at 25 to remove multiple golf ball size cysts. Took Naproxen for about a decade. Then it stopped working. Now I can't take it because not only it doesn't work, it rips up my stomach. Consulted top OBGYNs for a total hysterectomy at 24. And the government Health and Human Services Women's Studies confirmed what they all said...cysts can still grow back and your pain isn't guaranteed to be reduced at all. So that's no helpful. I've had periods for years that sound like I'm giving birth because I'm screaming bloody murder. Doesn't help both sides of family has this history. And OBGYNs refuse to prescribe opioid pain meds, which is the only thing that works. I've landed in ER in past where I needed IV morphine it was so horrible. Heating pads or heat patches do nothing for years now. My TENS unit for my painful upper body muscles now started to aggravate my pain. Tried Livia TENS and it's okay in conjunction with Vicodin. Doesn't help I have autoimmune and inflammatory diseases which make my endo worse. And it doesn't matter if the Dr is male or female. Both are uncaring and unwilling to prescribe opioid pain meds despite trying all the aforementioned, as well as acupuncture and natural supplements. Damn CDC who admitted lying about the numbers of false opioid epidemic where legitimate decades long chronic pain sufferers are now cut off and many committing suicide.
I remember the relief of them telling me I have endometriosis, it was like weight lifted off of my shoulders knowing that I wasn’t crazy, but also kind of sad.
I was just diagnosed with endometriosis 2 days ago. I had surgery a week ago to remove a mass that appeared on an ultrasound and for suspected endometriosis. They found so much scar tissue from endometriosis that my doctors assumed I had previous surgeries I didn’t disclose.
Getting the lab results back, confirming endometriosis, is the most bittersweet experience. I relate to Halsey on so many levels. Just hearing that it’s not all in my head, that I haven’t been over dramatic, that my pain has a reason has brought so much relief. I cried watching this video. Endometriosis is so minimized. I hope more women fight for help and treatment. I hope more doctors stop and listen like mine did.
Thank you, Halsey, for sharing your story.
Bruhhh. So thankful for this person laying it all out for our benefit. And its so true about doctors not taking women seriously! Noone knows your body better than you
Bless her heart. I have it too and had surgery last year. Although my periods are still heavy the pain has dramatically decreased
Eating coconut oil makes it lighter and shorter
Sarah Nicole you might want to look into adeneomyosis. It's a common misconception that endometrosis causes heavy bleeding, more times than not it's adeneomyosis (if you have endo it's very likley you have both)
Bethany Goldsack well that sucks. After my excision surgery for endometriosis my doctor said my uterus was healthy now. I wonder how you know if you have this other issue if it's inside the lining.
I'm so glad they are speaking up about this issue. My period have never been a problem for me, like it's just blood and no tears, so I always found it scary and definitely weird that some of my friends would encounter such pain!
she's stunning!
Since I was 12 I’ve suffered very painful and very heavy periods to the point that I would miss days of school every month. It got to the point that I was so weak I couldn’t even walk for the two weeks after without feeling like I was going to collapse. I went to the doctor recently as it has started to get worse. So now I’m waiting for the results and I really hope they have a diagnosis for me. I think it’s really good that Halsey has come out to talk about her endometriosis because there are many people who can relate to her story yet there is a lot of secrecy around the topic
I have Endometriosis too. In 2011 my gynecologist found a 6 cm cyst in my left ovary and I had surgery. I've been afraid to go off birth control pills ever since. Haven't gotten a period in seven years.
I watched someone struggle with this, as I carried them to dr after dr after dr, and they pushed so many pain meds, before I ever realized, this person had a whole different life altering problem that brought sooo much destruction. I love that she is speaking up about this. I hope this shines light in dark places, so that even if only one person doesn't get forced into this same path. You are truly awesome Hasley! Thank you!
My aunt has endometriosis and we managed to finally find a way for her to have another child and she had a healthy baby boy, he’s turning 5 soon
She has such a melodic and beautiful voice...like it was music when she talks, it’s amazing.
I've been living with endometriosis for 25 years and I can honestly say it's a very painful disease. Before I was diagnosed with it I was in excruciating pain during the months of my cycle..so much pain that I could barely get out of bed and walk. But even after being diagnosed my doctor made it seem like it wasn't a big deal and put me on naproxen for the pain. NO it was a big DEAL and I'm still dealing with the pain monthly! Nobody should live with that kind of pain every month but I just push through it...
After reading your comment I had to send you a message! I’ve dealt with endometriosis for years as well and doctors just pushing me onto the next doctor until I found Dr. Martin robbins once again… I say that because he actually delivered one of my babies 20 years ago almost but I just had surgery with Dr. Robbins this past year and it’s been a year to the day just about and my life has forever changed he is an angel in my eyes! Many doctors or OB doctors will go in and try to remove the endometriosis but they actually if you don’t get it all it will keep on growing and multiplying throughout your body and I actually got endometriosis all throughout my organs and it was the worst pain of my life… I can now honestly say that I live pretty much pain-free during my period times is pretty normal once again finally I mean I couldn’t even go to the bathroom without crying that’s how bad the endometriosis was! To anyone out there suffering I would urge you to contact Dr. Martin robbins in Maine… Scarborough Maine he’s absolutely incredible!!
People have actually come to him from all over the world to have their endometriosis treated it is a complete life-changing experience to go from being in so much pain every day of your life to a completely normal pain-free life once again… I owe him everything!
I had endometriosis for many years before I actually knew it. I first realized I had it when I went in for a hysterectomy. I suffered with severe cramps for years, but just thought it was normal. Because of how severe the endo was, it caused so much damage to my insides, causing me to have to have a full hysterectomy. The dr had to rebuild my bladder as well. So glad people are finally coming out about it..
Thankfully I’ve always had the opposite. I have bad periods but not endometriosis, and whenever I mention it to doctors, if it’s their first time hearing about my period problems they often then start asking me if I have any of the other symptoms of endometriosis, such as fainting and very heavy blood flows. The propensity for people to dismiss such things as “just a women’s problem” disgusts me. So because it’s a problem affecting women it’s not important?
I have endo and I never fainted. I went through a lot of pain though and I still do too. My symptoms went undiagnosed for years.
@-- I went to the hospital once and the nurse was completely oblivious of what it was. It was very frustrating.
I love halsey with all my heart. She is an inspiration to me on every level, I am glad she is getting professional diagnosis and maybe even help. As her fan, I wish her luck and health
Imagine having a miscarriage in front of thousands of people. what a sad and embarrassing thing to have to live and deal with.
A miscarriage itself is sad, waiting to see the heartbeat of your baby and hearing that there's no heartbeat. Some women have to pass the cleaning procedure after miscarrying, which is quite painful too, so pain is both physical and emotional
it’s not embarrassing .
I did it at work in front of a whole bunch of drug addicts. I must confess I had a moment of anger flash through my mind.
I’m crying- so real, thank you for sharing Halsey
I remember that I also struggled with a lot of these pains, but also in my bladder. I was peeing blood and even though I knew it wasn't my uterus, still it took the doctors a *year* to finally diagnose me right cause they thought it indeed was all 'in my head'. Just like halsey said, it was a relieve that I knew I wasn't making this up. But still. I wasn't taken serious for a very long time, until one very nice female doctor found out I had bladder cancer.
I feel like nowadays the doctors are just so easy with diagnosing, I wish it were different. Poor her, poor us.
- I got a surgery immediately after doctors realised they had to get this tumor out, also because of my age. Bladder tumors are rare for people with age 20. I'm gonna get a checkup 25 october to see if it has grown back. And then every year a check-up for 5 years.
Ashley I'm so proud of you for your courage and determination
Halsey is so gorgeous talented& strong woman
I've heard this story before and it touches my heart every time 😭❤️❤️
I suffer from severe endometriosis and I ALWAYS have Doctors just minimizing my pain...I have my appendix burst back in 2008..and Because I was soo used to having such excrutiating periods, I legit thought I had just pulled amuscle or something...little did I know, ..I faint a lot too ( well used to more Before finding the right pain treatment), I have been accused of beeing a Drug Addict...that it"s all in my head...that my body is just dependant on pain pills that it isn't taking care of the pain anymore..blah blah! I have had to call the ambulance on myself several times cuz I couldn"t even Get out of bed..I physicaly could not WALK I was in Sooo much pain...and then I got to the ER...and they drop me at the regulae triage and told me to wait like everyone else cuz pain is not considered an "emergency" ... ! It's Brutal what I have gone through and CONTINUE to go through! I had surgery and after my surgeon came to see me and said to me " You were so overdue for a cleanup that your intestins were glued together from all the dried up blood inside you! I have never seen a case as bad as yours before!" ... Yet..it"s apparently all in my head..
Fuck western medicine, go to Chinese doctors! Five years ago I was diagnose endometriosis 2 stage after the surgery, I had endo cyst removed, I drank hormones but cyst came back again only half year later. Our doctors only suggested surgery again and more hormones, they dont give a shit and have no idea why endometriosis happen and they dont even care too much.

If you suspect or have Endometriosis, find an Excision specialist. I had stage 4, along with Adenomyosis( often a co-morbid condition). I had surgery 2 yrs ago and I'm now pain free. Ablation, Lupron, and hysterectomies are not long term treatments for this disease.
she's so so so strong gosh how does she do that? I love this woman so much
Yesterday I got diagnosed with endometriosis and became upset. But my doctor assured me and gave me medication and exercises to do. This video really made me cry because I can relate to what she's saying. I hope I'm able to recover from the painful periods I had been experiencing.
Tv is so unnatural and awkward.
Pseudo Dionysius american tv not any others
McNooby I wouldn't say not any others, but American TV came up with most of the worst ideas. "Reality" TV is an existential nightmare.
amanda Isn't that just work in general? I mean, the putting up with co-workers, not the fake smiles (towards customers maybe)
It's not just American TV, TV is just awkward.
Wow I never really thought much of Halsey before watching this, now after seeing the video I feel for her so much and have such a deep respect for her and for sharing her story. Bless her 💙
I appreciate her honesty 👍
Halsey is an inspiration
You are EVERYWHERE lol
you again?
baole58 you don’t have to be a bitch. She was frustrated about the hotel not having shampoo for people of colour, you’re telling me that she isn’t allowed to tweet about how annoying it is to not be able to wash her hair? Mate, I would be pissed too so go get some background info before you slap something into the comments, just saying.
baole58 yeah I understand that she could’ve been a little lighter on the situation but she was in Australia at the time(Brisbane in particular, which is where I live) and you aren’t allowed to bring shampoo with you on an international flight and on a national flight you can only have like 50ml which in case you don’t use metric is like two or three handfuls of shampoo, that’s why she was so frustrated bc Brisbane was her last show and she would’ve used it already if she had brought/bought some. Also I think the reason she was talking about it and being annoyed about it is because people don’t talk about it and she has the platform to talk about it on. And yes people who are different colour then white need different hair care and shampoo etc. so I don’t really get why people are so upset about her saying this.
Yes I’m dealing with an endometriosis just been diagnosed .
I look like I’m 10 weeks pregnant right now
She is so strong and such an amazing role model for women everywhere ❤❤❤
Wow I feel so bad for her, having suffered from this disease I know her pain all too well. My mom got headaches with her period never cramps, so she didn't understand what I was experiencing nor take you to the doctor that quick. But as a teenager I knew something serious was wrong, you shouldn't have to be balled up in the fetal position, throwing up all day, and about to pass out the first day of your period EVERY month. My severe cramps went away from 10th grade(I started in 6th grade) until I was 21 or 22 then they came back with a vengeance. I would hurt the week before, during, and after my period. I began research myself and figured it out along with the help of an OB-GYN I ran into on the elevator in the building where I was a dental assistant. I didn't realize at the time this would be a life long disease I would have to endure until menopause or having a hysterectomy. Well unfortunately I had to have the latter at age 31, which I asked for after 10 yrs of pain and having a son 3 yrs prior. At this point the endometriosis had my bowel fused to my left ovary, intestines, and appendix. It was spreading upward and I wasn't taking any chances of it damaging anymore of my organs. I didn't intend on a full hysterectomy at 31 but the disease had damaged my ovaries so badly that they had to come out.
I'm so glad this painful disease is finally being talked about and now even there's a commercial on it. I had just gotten engaged when I got my diagnosis and was so lost as to what it meant for my future and thought I was cured after my first round of Lupron injections. Boy was I wrong. But women please don't hurt in silence or ignore your daughters and just think this is what's suppose to come with a period. Talk to your doctor in detail about your pain.
Hey I have a question. Was it only on the first day of every month that you had that pain? Because for me, if i don't take advil the first day i'm literally going to have an anxiety attack and possibly pass out... I start sweating, then i get super weak and my vision starts going but luckily i've never completely passed out. However, after the first day I usually don't need medicine and everything is fine. Is that possible for someone with endo? And thanks for sharing~
Lala Definitely the first day and sometimes the second. I don't know how long you have been experiencing your pain, but after a year or so Advil did nothing for me. I started on NSAID's, then the lowest dose of prescription pain meds, and worked my way up to the higher strengths. So now my body is so immune to them that I barely get drowsy unless I lay down. But it does sound like your symptoms may be endo or some other issues with your ovaries thst you need to discuss with your gynecologist.
she is so brave to share her story with ppl
