Go get diagnosed! Don’t allow them to just do ultrasounds and dismiss you when they don’t see it. You NEED to get the laparoscopic procedure (exploratory surgery) to actually see it in most cases. Don’t allow anyone to tell you no. I was told no from my first doctor and she just wanted to stick me on birth control and pretend that would solve it. I found a new doctor and told them that I will NOT bother trying birth control or anything until I got that procedure done, he agreed and I have now had 2 of them (which the second one helped more than the first, so don’t be deterred if the first time doesn’t seem to do too much) and I’ve never felt better! Will actually be scheduling a 3rd soon more than likely. Which do not worry that you’ll always have to have them cause it’s not the case for everyone, it could be a one and done or multiple. I’m good every 2-3 years but I also get it on my bladder, so it does change the frequency for me. But please, go and advocate for yourself and have it looked at! Best decision of my life and I’ve even been blessed to have a baby through it all. ❤

@@NattyByNature- they do! I had both an external and internal ultrasound done and they were like “nope can’t see it, you don’t have it.” Like 90% of the time you CANNOT see it that way, only times you can is if it is so bad and thick that it overpowers everything. You need to get the exploratory procedure done. It’s very simple: a cut in the belly button, a cut above the pubic area (generally at the c-section area, and if they need to get a look around or there is more in other areas they will make 1 more (or more if it’s severe) by your hip area. They are no bigger than an inch and recovery was fine both times. Only issue I had was not even with the cuts, I had air trapped in my chest the first time which hurt.

I was just diagnosed with Lupus a couple weeks ago. It's been a 4 year journey trying to figure out what's wrong. My previous docs telling me, when I brought up autoimmune diseases, that "we don't think it's that", and when I asked them to test my blood just in case, they said no. So I went elsewhere and in less than a month got diagnosed. Joint pain, skin inflammation, tiredness, always sick/not feeling well, hair falling out, rapid weight loss (I lost 22lbs in about a month) and I've since lost more. Halsey coming out and talking about her Lupus diagnosis is what pushed me to seek help and advocate harder for myself. I was at the point of not wanting to be on this Earth anymore. It's so validating to hear, so I wanted to come back and say THANK YOU for this interview and her talking about her symptoms which made me push harder for the help.

I love how Halsey is so open about her journey. It's a blessing to have women with a platform speak about their experiences in the hope that it can help others. I had severe endometriosis and lived with excruciating pain for years. I was dismissed and treated poorly by doctors. I dealt with unsupportive teachers and managers while I was dealing with this chronic issue for about 15 years. I was told by many doctors that I should take birth control or get an IUD and that I probably had PCOS. When I finally decided I couldn't handle the pain anymore, I had a laparoscopy. My left ovary and fallopian tube had to be removed because they were glued together. I had been to several doctors and gone to the ER twice and knew something wasn't right. Always listen to yourself, trust your gut, always fight for yourself, and get answers!

Just as Halsey says that butterflies are a red flag because you shouldn't have to worry that someone who loves you will be nice to you, it's the same about seeing doctors- you shouldn't have to have someone call ahead and tell them to listen to you and believe you when you tell them about what's happening to your body.

We agree - it's so important to find a doctor that listens and advocates for you! Wishing you the best

Same my mom would just say her aunt had periods and she was even passing out from the pain and calling ambulance that same lady miscarried in the past too apparently I found out late( now she’s 70) but basically it was considered normal Or whatever

I've been diagnosed with hashimoto's for 4 years, and what Halsey said made me realize my face skin issues are because of hashimoto's. I know my dry and sensistive skin all over my body was from that, but i didn't know my "rosacea" and "acne" flareups were hashimoto's flares. The only two doctors to take my issues seriously were gynecologists. Other doctors had all said my labs were in range and we'd monitor, but the one gyno said even if it's in the range, it's not where a 20 year old should be. She also pointed out that many of the issues i had then (acne and rosacea, endometriosis, allergies, ibs, etc) were all inflamatory conditions and that something had to be causing the inflammation. A gynecologist obviously diagnosed my endometriosis and the same one years later found my pituitary brain tumors. My male endocrinologist had dismissed my concerns about breast discharge, but she took me seriously. Struggling now with getting doctors to take my joint pain seriously, but still coming up against the "your labs are in range"

i am so grateful to halsey and their transparency on their health and wellbeing journey. I've been a fan since room 93 days (even met her at a music festival years ago, coolest sweetest celeb I've encountered hands down) and when they talked about their endometriosis I looked it up and realized I fit the description to a T. So here we are 5 years and two surgeries later with a third one on the books for later this year, which would make three surgeries under 30 yrs old for me. I just hope now that endo is a more known and recognized condition young women can go to doctors and be taken seriously and not just told they'll grow out of it or just put on pain treatments without investigating or addressing the cause. I hope research can find new ways to diagnose endo without surgery because right now thats the only 100% for sure way to know. It is weirdly gratifying though to put a name to and see other people with the same thing that felt and was treated like it was all in my head for most of my life. My best wishes to Halsey and all the endo girls out there

Just got an ultrasound to see if I have endometriosis. Bc I’ve been dealing with these symptoms for almost a decade. ALWAYS ADVOCATE FOR YOURSELF. Thank you all for talking about this and all the work you three do. Definitely do not feel alone and will take it day by day once I hear the results. Shoutout to the nurse practitioner who ordered me that ultrasound and listened to me. My gyno that I used to go to DID NOT.

I love how real halsey is, Ive watched her music videos and listened since the beginning, also I connect with her about having endo(its brutal, I had surgery for it in 2009), bipolar, my step mum has lupus and I have so much sympathy for her also she's just such a inspiring woman and Ill always be a fan.

Ash’s story means so much to me as someone who has been misdiagnosed for 10 years. Less than a week ago I was diagnosed with chiari malformation, my cerebellum has grown into my spinal column. I have had headaches for 10 years, was told by a pediatric neurologist at 11 that it was psychological, (this doctor also put me on over 10 medications within a few month period. Never giving them enough time to work. Even amatriptaline (powerful antipsychotic) that gave me bloody nightmares) I’ve been misdiagnosed multiple times. Since it’s been a decade I was so hard on myself why I couldn’t do so many things without getting a headache and my body feeling weak. I thought “wow am I really this sensitive as a person? Am I that out of shape” it’s so reassuring to know that I really do have something wrong with me because I knew something was wrong. My headaches have almost always been brushed off as stress related, and I’m sure that plays a part, but I’m glad finally a doctor decided to look at my cervical spine along with my brain which showed chiari on the mri. Hopefully I can finally get some relief.

So much respect for halsey for being open about these struggles!! I have just started the process of trying to figure out my own health issues i've been having for half my life after i had been dismissed and misbelieved so heavily that i have extremely bad perception of my body now. Hearing them speak about their own body with so much understanding and knowledge is very inspiring!

I’ve had adenomyosis and had a hysterectomy and was also diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis. I’ve had 5 excision surgeries by world renowned endometriosis specialists and it’s come back again….and now I’m currently dealing with severe endometriosis pain and am currently being tested for RA and Lupus. It’s so debilitating and hearing her explain the extreme fatigue and hair loss that comes with the symptoms of lupus really resonated with me. I just got my blood test results that are all pointing to lupus and RA. Everything she said about what she’s experiencing is exactly what I’m currently going through. I hope there is light at the end of the tunnel for me as well.

I'm glad you are going thru all the testing. Our stories are so much alike, I had a full hysterectomy at 38 with the same issues. I also have lupus, RA, and fibromyagia with complications from each. The sooner you get in with good specialist the sooner you can feel relief. Prayers and good energy your way

My symptoms started getting more aggressive after I had my 3rd baby and I knew there had always been something wrong since I was young but my parents apparently didn't want to afford my illness they were always were trying to hide. And I am doing everything Halsey was doing. I can't sit down without falling asleep.

I've also have had psoriasis so but all rheumatology gave me at my first appointment was a steroid and said to take it stay off my feet so fluid goes down in leg until follow up which is coming up in a couple days and I still have fluid. So hopefully starting treatment will get rid of it.

I'm so glad I clicked on this video 27:21 || 29:50 This is exactly what I felt 3 years ago, the organ pain. It would start in one place and travel down through different parts of my body. It was very painful and just strange. I just kind of dealt with it up to this point, especially the fatigue and bone(?) pain/ stiffness. I had an mri, X-rays taken but nothing out of the ordinary, so I kind of lost hope in knowing what was going on. plus, it happened around the time I got COVID so it was just kind of lumped into maybe it was post covid symptoms, but I knew there was something different going on. To this day, I haven't been diagnosed with anything. Watching this video, gave me some sort of hope, I'm almost 29.

Thank y'all for sharing such imperative information & Ashley for always being so vulnerable. I pray that she finds a way to not be so hard on herself and give herself grace! She always utilizes her voice and experiences for good! This helps more than y'all realize! -xo

They didn't go into what Halsey said at the end about Ketamine therapy, but if you struggle with medication-resistant depression or addiction, PLEASE research it and find a clinic in your area to get on the waiting list (it's a multi-month therapy and clinics don't have alot of spots).

Halsey is such a beautiful soul and she's gone through so much s***... I have struggled with my health a lot too (6 surgeries, PCOS, ovarian removal, early menopause) so I can really relate to what she's gone through. Halsey really shows that being a musician and a pop star is just one facet of her life and she's a human with flaws and all. Many of us suffer the same illnesses without the fame, and it's not easier or harder. It just sucks and it can happen to anyone. And I admire her for being open about it, pop stars are not perfect, they are people, and they try to live their dreams and have their career just like us.

Holy smokes! I'm not the only one that does the, "Have you had your thyroid checked?" thing all the time. Researching medical terminology and diseases is so interesting. It's like putting a puzzle together about how each human body functions. Also, a hashis girl here. 👎 Autoimmune diseases suck. Not trying to be a "fan girl" but Halsey and I would definitely hit it off as friends irl. Maybe her aura and soul is why I've always been drawn to her and her music. 🤷♀️ A Halsey docu would be sweet, btw. Waiting patiently for the new album and hoping her health and strength continues to improve more each day!

Currently having intestin and kidney pain but I can't go to the doctor because I know I'm just gonna be told, take this and see if it works, and when it doesn't, I'll be sent to the next doc that says "you're fine". I don't have the money to be going to the doctor just for them to write me off to the next. I just went through this not too long ago with a tailbone issue. I saw 3 doctors! Months before that I had hand foot and mouth disease and I was misdiagnosed with strep throat. The felling of being helpless and hopeless never ends.
