- This is one of the most vulnerable videos I have made, and I am terrified, to be honest. I wanted to share my story about some health issues I have dealt with for years now and how I am going to deal with it on my thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail. To anyone who wants to reach out to me for whatever reason, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do so. You can reach me by e-mail, Instagram, Facebook, or in the comments of this video. All accounts are linked below. Your support means the world.
Also, please share this video. My hope is that we can create a community of openness and support across various topics, especially ones like this that can be embarrassing and sometimes overwhelming to talk about.
Where else can you find me?

Already, THANK YOU to everyone for the support. For all of the comments below, the private messages, and sharing this video. It means the world.
The Whimsical Woman what will you do if this happens on the trail?
The Whimsical Woman I meant as if you need help. Will anyone be with you hiking also? Sorry I sent the other message accidentally
I just watched this, for the first time, after following you since the beginning, can I just just say, wow, you are so much more of a badass than I already thought! Just one of those things may have scared off most people, you are awesome!
What a wonderful brave video. I am a 53 old male with a 14 year old daughter. I think that playing this video for her will be so helpful for her in so many ways. Knowledge about female issues, self esteem, self worth and determination. I will be following you on your PCT journey. I personally feel that you met your goal and succeeded on day 1 of your PCT adventure. The rest is just gaining knowledge and enjoying your adventure no matter when or where you decide to end this particular hike. Why stop at Canada? :) Just enjoy and stay in the moment.
Wow girl! You are a ROCK! It must have been really tough putting that clip together as well as being a big decision to walk the PCT. Glad to see that there are people out there like yourself who are willing to make the world aware of these problems and that it is possible to go out there and endure them!
Love your channel by the way, very inspirational!
Keep up the good work X
Wow. Such a brave, strong person. Not woman. Person. You have total respect from this guy. I never knew all the details of what you addressed, but I am now a lot more informed. My ex dealt with fibromyalgia before people knew what it was. Boy, that was a thrill. Now she is so much more understood because of people like YOU.... people who shared and made others aware of their condition even if it meant baring their souls to strangers. I can only pray Karma is kind to you. When you find someone who understands what you are dealing with and sees the person behind all that and loves the YOU inside, that will be a good day for humans in general.
Hello! I wanted to let you know that this video brought me to tears because of how inspiring and relatable it is. I live with endometriosis and I was scared of going on a six mile hike during a flare up so I was trying to find if anyone else does it. This gave me the courage to go anyways. I was able to work through the pain, and now I feel like I am capable of going on longer hikes. I've finally started to accept that this disease is not my fault. Thank you thank you thank you!
All I see in this vid is a strong woman. Not just bringing up the physical side of things but the mental and emotional stuff we all have rolling around in our heads. Powerful and raw is all I can say. That's pretty rare. 👍👍👍,
That is so kind of you to say. THANK YOU for being so supportive. It goes such a long ways.
My wife of 39 years suffered from Endometriosis. I know the pain caused. I cared for her for the last 10 years of her life as she also suffered from kidney failure until her death in 2016. I am enjoying your adventure.
Open, honest and sincere commentary. The world needs more of this. ✌🏻
You are so brave sweetheart. I started watching your hiking videos I didn’t go back and start watching all these things you’ve been through until now the fact that you’re hiking up the trail like it’s no big deal you really are a hero. A fellow would be lucky to have you as a girlfriend or wife. Big hugs to you! Stay awesome Starburst 🌟❤️
My biggest fear on the trail is also my personal issues. I've got clinical anxiety/depression and a sleep disorder that I haven't been able to figure out. I wonder if these will send me home, or maybe the "ecotherapy" of the trail will do me some good. My wife has ovarian cysts which sometimes rupture. Very debilitating when they happen. So I can certainly sympathize. We weren't able to have kids due to her cysts and some other issues. But you're totally right though that your worth as a person has nothing to do with your reproductive ability. My wife has been an awesome mom to a boy we adopted a while back. He'll be graduating high school this June. So I'm off to start the PCT on Tuesday! If I see you on the trail, you'll get nothing but support and encouragement from me. :)
This is the most amazing comment! Thank you for sharing with me. I think it is wonderful you two adopted and I am sure your boy is so so thankful for both of your hearts. Good luck!!! I can't believe it all starts so soon! I hope to see you out there!!
Mike Gray I've found that the extreme exercise calms my mind. I'm just too tired to be anxious or depressed at the end of a 10-15 mile hike.
Let us know how the trail treats you Mike. Best of luck to everyone.
it's so cool that you adopted .I know I was for ordained to come here out of City lights to see these star wittnesses .if I had children they would be below 10years old.and it would not have been fair to them to not have thier father .this place out side of City lights is not a good job milleu for an engineer .I great full he supports me to go thru this saboth year for the stars Abraham in Egypt.so God came first in my life not kids not husband not a thru hike this year.i miss them very much those parts of my life .it's a weak point .but I so blessed to be so anxiously engaged that I get by I get thru with out noticing so much.loli so testify in the name of God Jesus Christ Divine woman amen
This puts a whole new light on your PCT videos, I can’t imagine how you were just able to post your 16th day! As if it’s not hard enough without all the things you are going through.
Yet, you just said:
“I am still going to hike the Pacific Crest Trail”
It’s inspirational that you are not letting these ailments own you.
I have huge respect for you Jen!
-Mike.
I can't imagine what it took for you to make this video but I am glad you did. My wife suffers from ovarian cysts and I see how bad that is so I can only imagine what you are going through with all that you have, my prayers are with through your hike good luck
Thank you for making this video. I have endo too and am a hiker trying to get into backpacking. Fear of flares is one of the biggest hurdles for me.
Thank You for inviting the men into this conversation. I've been included in many of my female friends health issues over the years & it's given me an appreciation of the problems women deal with everyday. Most guys haven't a clue & don't stop to think of the unique problems so common to so many women. I hope it gets men to have some empathy for your situation. Love your attitude & enjoy your smiles. Happy Trails Star Burst.
Thank you for your honesty and sharing this with us. Would love to get an update on how you are dealing with your condition now that you are on the trail.
Thanks for sharing your struggle and story. You're an inspiration to those that have your same issues and those who have other issues that are debilitating.
I admire your strength and candor in sharing what you have been through. You are awesome.
I'm sorry proud of you sharing about something so personal. you are very courageous.
Wow! You are so inspiring. I’m 61 and I’ve wanted to do a through hike for a long time. last summer I had to have both my ankles operated on because a I pronate so bad, and have flat feet and so all I’ve been able to do is going to sit around and just shuffle around I’ve gained 35 pounds I’m totally out of shape. I’ve been scared that I wouldn’t be able to get back in good enough shape to even do it. You are a major inspiration to all of us! I will be praying for you and watching your progress. God bless you keep up the good work. John
This is the most honest and beautifully impactful video I have seen on pct preparation. So many people have no clue about any of this and how much it does alter women's daily lives. I hope to hear a follow up on how you handled this on trail. I have been following your journey and frankly you inspire me with your transparency. Much love to you. You go Jen!
Keep kicking ass. Never give up. Your strength is inspiring.
Jen, you are incredible. Forthright, frank, brave. This video will help many men and women and young girls and boys too. Go for it! You will succeed. Even if you can't hike the whole thing at once, you can do it in parts if some health thing stops you temporarily.
I'm insanely grateful for you making this video. I don't suffer from the same conditions, but I (as I believe many women in our day) have struggled with my worth as a woman (for whatever reason). Listening to this made me feel better about myself. You are very brave and I wish you a great hike!
After watching so many of your videos..... You defiantly are a bad ass! Congratulations and I hope you're doing well.
This takes a lot of guts. I praise you for your courage. Best wishes from Iceland. I am hiking the JMT this August and watch your UA-cam v.logs every time you have a new one. Stay healthy and keep hiking. Olli Thorsson
I just found your channel today and my god I applaud you so so much for making this video. I wish more women would be as open and honest about health issues as you. I don’t know one female that doesn’t have a health issue or “weird ailment” so I don’t know why women don’t talk about it. Opening a dialog like you have,helps others see it’s not just them. I’m so excited to watch more of your videos and support you on your journey of the PCT. you’re amazing and truly inspirational. I love your can do,don’t make excuses attitude. Hope you’re doing well!! Hike on:)
Hello Starburst, please keep the faith dear. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I am really enjoying your beautiful videos. Always take good care of yourself.
You are strong! It is obvious to me that your strength comes from above. Remember you are never walking alone. He is always with you!!
THANK YOU! I agree with you.
Wow! Thank you for sharing. I have had ovarian cysts rupture in the past, and I always feel pain when I ovulate. You are so strong to do what you love!
Thank you, girl! I am so sorry to hear that. It's not pleasant whatsoever lol
thank you for telling your story never fell ashamed. you are a very strong women and yes there are a lot of guys who would marry you i'm now a subscriber to your channel and it will be a pleasure to watch you conquer this trail. i'm following you and Dixie as she walks the CDT to finish her triple crown.stay safe have fun and we all pray for you on your journey.
Darlin.... thanks for sharing the good and the not so good. It's is my dream and on my bucket list to hike the PCT one day. I wish you all the luck in the world. I will be praying for you that the Good Lord will keep you under His wing and keep you healthy and safe all along the way. Thanks for sharing. You are a courageous young lady. Best wishes..... Ax
Thanks for sharing, that which don't kill you makes you stronger. Love your vids, hang in there.
i truly feel for you, physically i haven't a clue what you have to deal with, however i watched my wife suffer for years with the same issues, at age 25 she decided to have a full hysterectomy, said it was the best decision she made. good luck!
I don't think you will have any problem finding a man to share your life with. You are a incredible women! After watching you on the p.c.t. trail, I have gained so much respect for you. There are a lot of people that I have watched on UA-cam but very few ( including you) that have caught my attention. Your personality is what sets you apart from so many others! If I was only younger...😱 😉😁🍻
Damn you’re a generous woman sharing this with everyone! I’m already watching all of your videos of your PCT adventures...but now I even have more respect for your kickass efforts!
Anyway, keep on keepin’ on. You’re a huge inspiration!
I live in San Diego so if you ever need assistance then give me a shout and I can drive up. I’m a hiker too and looking forward to doing the JMT this year.
Anyway, keep it up and thanks for being you!
I am so proud of you! I hear you. I feel you. I am there with you. You have so many women backing you up! I have had at least one cyst rupture. You are awesome for doing the PCT. Definitely have an emergency plan (I'm sure you do) but you can do this!!!
GIRL, you rock. Thank you for the support.
You are so strong, gutsy, courageous, a true force. You're probably being safe, have a plan, etc., but be truthful with whomever you hike with so they can support you if/when needed. A couple of zeros filling water bottles and prepping a little food should be nbd for anyone considerate. Your hike will be a great journey, an odyssey, an expression that you will control your life when and how you can. I'm proud of you for your hike, your strength, and your honesty.
Thank you so much! I am sure the community out there is going to be so exceptional. We're all going through something!
You are a courageous person, glad to see you got a hat. Keep hiking! Enjoy your videos.
I just discovered your channel. Props for being so brave and talking about this. Your strength is beautiful! Looking forward to following along and learning from your journey!
bravo , young lady , what courage you have ...
Hands down one of the best vlogs I’ve seen....ever! I didn’t discover your vlog until today, but I’ve been binging, procrastinating on my couch. As a fellow backpacker with a small portion of the same health issues you have, I’ve been avoiding trips during those times. I hate that you’ve had to deal with all of that, but it’s made you you, and you do the voodoo that you do and it rocks. 🙌🏻Can’t wait to figure out what your trail name will be!
You are one tuff girl. I hope you hike is good. Everyone has hard times very few will open up about it. It is realy neat that your dad do the hike with you. Have Fun & Hike Safe.
Thanks for sharing with everyone and also thanks for remaining resilient about the things you want to do in life. I hear so many excuses from people daily who say they cant do x because of y but seldom do I hear someone with positivity about chasing what ever their dreams may be. Happy Trails, I am following people who already started the PCT and the excitement is building for sure!
Thank you, Chris! I am getting so excited! We are so close.
Thanks for the share. Kudos for your courage to hike the PCT with the possibility of such pain. Best wishes for your success.
Ouch! It's got to take a lot to face all that and to do it while taking on such a huge challenge. Thanks for sharing, it's very inspirational. Especially since this can be a difficult topic to talk about.
Thank you so very much!
Be strong! Keep going. We are watching your trip and wish we could be there. Guess what. We are at home and you are following your dreams.
I am a guy and watched the whole video and completely understand all of this even though I don't have any of it. 😁 Wife wife has suffered from both for 20+ years, multiple surgeries, endometriosis, cysts rupturing all the time! Hang in there 💪 we have three beautiful kids (although that has been a challenge) Wish you the best on the trail 👊👍👍
Thank you for the support! And your wife sounds like one tough lady!!
You are an Amazing young beautiful lady. I'm proud of you for being so brave. Yes and cysts on your overys are very painful. I have polycystic ovary disease and I understand totally. You need all the support you can get. I'm really glad you have reached out on here. Just know that I will keep you in my prayers....and I wish you the Best with the PCT trail. Thaank you so much for sharing. And I look forward to seeing more of your videos. 😁
Much respect. I wish you the best on the trail!
sounds really a painful thing :( sorry to hear that
Your positive attitude, resilience and perseverance in the face of significant challenges is impressive and an example to all. I congratulate you on your decision to move forward with your plan to thru hike the PCT. I wish you an outstanding life experience and adventure. I will also be attempting a thru hike of the PCT starting in early May.

Your comment means a lot to me. Good luck to you on the trails! Maybe you will pass me and we can meet! Haha
I would be happy to meet you on the trail. I'm sure we would have a very good conversation.
So good of you to be sharing this! I'm sure it will help others, and as you say get some conversation going.
Thank you very much!
You are such a strong person! All the Best for you!
As a naturopath, I would suggest that you look into "hormone balancing" long before considering type of surgeries. Prob would suggest looking into some progesterone supplement.
Seems like I might be one of those guys that needed to hear what you're saying. Not that I'm entirely unfamiliar with this kind of stuff, my own sister died from flesh eating bacteria. Yeah, what other culture out there in America is so adamant about "embracing the suck" and if you can do do that I think you've found a new family and a much higher quality of life. In this community we are each other's heros and pain is something we laugh about. Welcome aboard.
SCARY . . . but what an inspiring message. Did you do a post-hike follow up on this topic? I remember you saying in one video on the trail that you had a cyst rupture but I did not know what it was because I had not seen this video yet.
Your even tougher than I thought.
Hi. Well you're already on the PCT and I love your videos. I'm presently a hospice nurse. I see a lot of these things. I go to peoples homes all over the place and many times the neighbors don't know about it. It's good that you talk about it. I'm preparing for the pct next year. Today is 6/10/18. I'll be 60. I have diabetes type 2. I have diverticulosis that when it flares up (diverticulitis) it so severe. I've taken care of women that say it's worse than child birth. If I get constipated for 2 days I'm in danger of having a flare up and the only thing that will fix it if it doesn't rupture are antibiotics, flagyl and cipro at the same time. I've been hiking for years now. It is my biggest fear of going to the pct (apart from my budget, lol). Thanks for sharing. It's an inspiration for me to get out there regardless of my health issues. God bless. I wish you the best.
Felipe Castellon do you eat gluten or dairy?
You are very courageous!
Thank you for sharing this!!!!
I understand about the ruptures and bleeding...i had ex that had issues with cysts and bad ruptures made alot of trips to emergency also made me feel helpless watching how much pain she was in...I never fully understood the gravity of the situations till I was informed about it more and on the note i do hope you have a plan or device to contact help if need be. (Like a spot or inreach for that worst case scenario) and just want to say you strike me as a strong and determined woman and I know you can and will make it work even if it takes extra zero days. Hike that Hike 😉🤘
I am sorry to hear about your ex's ruptures! But thank you for seeking to understand! I will have a Garmin InReach on the trail with me just in case for any emergency. :)
I can empathize with you when you discuss the level of pain you feel. The source of the pain is different than mine, but I can relate to all the "what-ifs" you ask yourself.
At 24, I was diagnosed with a auto-immune arthritic disease called Ankylosing Spondylitis. I was a normal, healthy man dealt a crappy genetic card. Right now I'm training for the AT 2019, but every day I experience intense inflammation in my lower back and hips. My immune system is attacking the tissues between my vertebra. I appear normal on the outside, but my insides are at war. I'm backpacking the AT then PCT the following year because I don't know how much time I have left to be physically able to attempt these thru hikes. I want to show people with my disease that we can do extraordinary things even while experiencing gut-wrenching pain.
So ... personally I made the decision not to be a biological father because there is a chance that I pass on this disease to a child.
Lastly I can train all I want, but there will always be a variable, my health, that I'm unable to control.
My daughter had a dermoid at 15 and had surgery. She had one ovary removed and most of the other one.
your a badass for doing this video! very awesome, keep the positive attitude. You will kill the PCT
I've never been diagnosed with endometriosis (and definitely don't think I have it) but i am literally on my hands and knees every month crawling around because I am in so much pain. All this, while other women seem to be completely fine i.e go exercising, wear tampons pain-free (the thought of it makes me vom) So that was actually one of my first thoughts when I started watching your videos, how do you deal when it's time of the month! I've watched near to a month of you out on trail now and it looks like you're handling things brilliantly. If you can do, I sure as hell can! xxx
I can't Rant and Rave enough about how good it is you made this video! I wish I could make all the people who came from the factory in perfect condition watch this! You have to play the game of life with the cards you're dealt... but it would be nice if people understood some people have more issues than others (I'm looking at you guys who act like jerks when their girlfriend/wife doesn't "feel good" today... And I'm a guy! You think you know pain, wait until you get a kidney stone... When you're crying like a baby, praying for death, all the women who've given birth will be laughing at you for being a wus!). You really hit on a lot of topics that are just a normal parts of life and that's GREAT! Remember, the destination (Canada) is only a line in the sand. There could be an early snowfall and you can't complete the hike... how is that less of a disappointment than having a few too many zero days due to health and not making the whole hike? Doing the adventure and enjoying the experience is what's important... Canada is just a planning parameter :>) Plus, just setting foot on the trail means you've already done more than 300 million other Americans!!! If you need more inspiration, look up the girl who got her pilots license and she was born without arms (she's only type rated for the Erocoupe... no rudder pedals...but still!!!) Sometimes a journey of a thousand miles starts with shorter steps and more breaks! And, before I forget, Cheap Thoughts: Maybe have an Emergency Alert Bracelet made with your conditions and Primary Care Doctor contact on it. It doesn't work like on TV, the Emergency Room really does need to know where to start looking. Also, check with your Doc to see if they have a travel awareness program. Some doctor's offices have a set-up where you notify them before you travel and they keep your records handy in case they get an emergency call. And, if you get a "Spot" or other device make sure it has a transmitting location beacon. Some (or maybe all) devices for hikers use satellites and in the deep valleys they can't hit all 4 satellites required for a precise location. I just watch a video from last year's PCT hike where the rescuers spent hours on the wrong side of the ridge looking for a lady that summoned help. They had to land and talk to other hikers to find her. Other than that, it's just one foot in front of the other. If there's something that impedes one foot going in front of the other then just sit down and come up with different ways to get one foot in front of the other! It's the hike that's the goal... if you want to see Canada that bad, take the Ferry :>) Thanks Again for the Great talk to remind us we're just humans...
I apologize for the Rant... You really did hit on some hot topics for me! I also meant to get out a couple more thoughts. Don't worry if you need to do some flip-flops so you'll have the extra time for bad day planning. When was the last time you ever heard of anybody calling a thru hiker a "loser" because they didn't walk all 2650 MILES in a continuous line? Or, how often do people shout "faker" to Sheryl Stayed because she only hiked 1200 miles? It isn't the size of the accomplishment as much as the greatness of the accomplishment. Everybody remembers Neil Armstrong and hardly anybody remembers the last guy on the moon. But, Neil was only walking on the moon for a couple hours, the last guy was walking and driving around for something like 11 hours. The only person you'll disappoint if it isn't the perfect hike is yourself! (Well.. the internet Trolls will give you crap. They're Level 7s in PCT Quest on-line so they know what it's like to be a real hiker! But, just tell them you'll tell their mommies what they said and they'll disappear!!)
Thank you very much for your support and sharing your thoughts! I will definitely be bringing a beacon with me because you never know! And if anyone gives me crap, I'll send them to you! Lol
You rock!!!!
Amen
Well...there is a 'cure', but its rather drastic. A hysterectomy would solve those probs. But who wants that if you want kids later??? Thank you for sharing this. I hope 'everything' behaves itself during your hike. Ugh. In my mid 30s I had a massive Endometriosis that had grown on my right ovary. It was rare because it was ONLY on the ovary. They thought it was apple sized and tried to shrink it using birth control. That didn't work and those side effect really, REALLY suck. My pain came on a few days before my period and would subside when I started. That pain though, OMG I've never felt that kind of pain before in my life. One of the last attacks I ended up in an emergency room. Ultimately, they opened me up to remove the cyst and discovered it was actually fruitcaked sized attached to my guts, bladder, etc too. So, they took the entire ovary. I still had problems after the surgery, but not that damn pain. The ONLY benefit...and I mean the only one is that it kicked me into perimenopause early. As a result, now I'm 49 and haven't had a period in a few years. Freaking AWESOME!!!! I don't think I could do a thru hike with one and I applaud you for doing this.

I'm just going to throw this out there: freeze as many eggs as can be harvested, then get rid if the ovaries and uterus, take replacement hormones, and save like hell to pay for a surrogate. Done and done!
lol that would have been a good idea. I'm well past child bearin' days. Something for Whimsical to think about though! I don't think I could have hiked with the problems I used to have. Now its alllll good. :)
A hysterectomy does not always solve the problems of endo. The endometrium can and does grow on your bladder, bowels, other parts of your pelvis. So, taking out the reproductive organs is not always a "cure."
No clue how many surgeries I've had, at least a dozen now. The fact your up and hiking ( which no matter what I find myself doing ) great explanation and gusts. Some guys get it that after a while you spend the majority of your life with a girl ( or guy depending ) so the subject matter should be of interest to both M/F, hopefully. Hike away.........Damn things can be a pain.
I agree! I am really pleasantly surprised how mature and supportive everyone has been, especially the men. So thank you!
Your Dad's a Beret cool. Ex Army. Work in ER in BOS climeband hike WH whites and APT a zillions times. I've lectured several times at different groups, different colleges on crisis prevention and outdoor ( kids for State of MA ) activities there's research out there. ST Liz just had a discussion in this subject ( as you know New England and New Hampshire/ Maine are hiking crazy ) in any case be glad to pass on links or any research, yours rot the acting. ) I deal with returning hopefully benigns all the time. Scary to say least. Like your stuff....good work.
Diva cups are great! Try it, it will be so helpful
If you want to try a cup try the femmy cycle. It is sooooo much softer than the diva cup and you can choose sizes based on the position of your cervix. Also try thinx period underwear. I was a skeptic but I got a pair and was blown away as to how awesome they are. Especially on days where inserting anything is painful (whether it be cup or tampon)... raising my hand about the shower thing btw
Your amazing
Listening just now. I realize that you have different conditions than other women. If I may say it really should be a concern when it comes to sections like the Mojave and the Sierras. If I were you and I insisted on doing a thru-hike, preparation is the key. I would have at the least carry the SPOT. Secondly, I would encourage you to figure out a way to hike with someone so if your are hunched over in pain they can take care of you in an emergency.
and finally is there a way to have a preventative surgery, I'm sure its to late in the game for such a thing. but maybe?
On a personal note my heart goes out to you for the issues you do deal with, and I want to encourage you that there are a lot of men out there that want to love the women that they do love and children for them isn't in their life plan. I knew that my wife was past that time and agreed to be hers when we got together. we have a happy life without our own children.
I will definitely be carrying a beacon for any kind of emergency! But I will be going as prepared as I possibly can for sure. :)Also, thank you for sharing! I am glad you and your wife figured things out together!!
While i don't have dermoids, i do have the other stuff. They are horrid.. I have had then for over 20something years. Refusing to take the birth control as it makes me sick I had to come up with another solution. The ONLY thing that made them go away for me was the following three things.. NO chocolate. NONE at all, NO alcohol, NO caffeine and beavy exercise. For me running was the key component. Eating healthier i.e. organic also helped.. Hang in there!
I have been watching your videos .you are so cool about how much you accomplish Ed so far .I just watched your day you almost quite and went back to the beginning video .you might watch it again to renew your purpose and thank strength Ihave not had children but always thought it was not me . when I was18i had a cyst that I thought was apendic had surgery they cleaned up a ovairin cyst

My daughter has PCOS and endometriosis. So does the young woman across the street and my dental hygienist. So maybe more of us men know than you give us credit for. I have a question. On the trail you don't seem to be eating low carb. I was under the impression that low carb eating was SOP for PCOS and Endo. I also think I heard you referring to having a beer. Does that mean you're not taking metaformin?

Totally unexpected, feeling how it began to shrink and eventually disappear within 2 months was so liberating. I followed the steps I mentioned, and within the first 2 weeks the bloating was gone. I simply go'ogled Tilly Strankten's Ovarian Cyst Guide and it's like I hit the feel-good reset button lol.
