I believe it's because people are no longer being quiet about their suffering, whatever it may be. Also, another part may be that we understand these problems better so we know they are problems. Not really related, but similar. My grandfather is red/green colorblind but didn't put it on his military enlistment paperwork because he didn't know it was classified as a medical condition. That happened a lot during that time period and not just with medical conditions.

I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 20. In 2018, my husband and I tried for a baby and I had a miscarriage the following year. I was 28. We still kept trying though. I even had myself checked and the doctors said my eggs weren’t the optimal size. They gave me a prescription to help get them to the right size but still no luck. We decided to keep trying until I turned 35 and if nothing happens then we’ll still have each other. In January 2023, I changed my diet and became more active. No more processed food. Hardly any sweets. No junk food. No sodas. My periods started coming regularly but we already made peace that we were never getting pregnant. Then in September that same year, I had a positive pregnancy test! We were so fearful that I would miscarry again. Our baby is now 7 months old ❤

Reminder to make sure to also check your home for mold and regularly clean dust. Even if you dont get allergies often or at all, mold can cause or contribute to these things especially depression, headaches, sinus problems, brain fog. Mold toxicity is rare but underdiagnosed.

[@rebeccablair9626]

I think my apartment has mold. I told my landlord about it. Her maintenance guy told me to take bleach or vinegar & apply it to the ceiling where I think it looks moldy. He didn't exactly tell me it was mold. And I read bleach & vinegar won't kill it if it is mold. My partner has debilitating headaches every single day. He can barely leave the house. My daughter & I thankfully haven't had any symptoms, but she's not even 2 yet & I'm scared this will affect her life later. I live in a shit low income apartment & I'm afraid if I complain too much, they'll want to get us out & find someone who won't complain. I feel stuck between a rock & a hard place. I've applied for better housing, but there is such a housing crisis that I doubt I'll be considered bc I have a roof over my head... even if it is moldy & unsafe. 😢

[@Maradarling]

@rebeccablair9626 I hope things get better for you 😭 I use brand mold killers specifically for the job and make sure you wear a mask (I also wear glasses) and keep out of the freshly cleaned room for the day, with the window wide open so it can air out the chemicals. I keep my window cracked open a bit now, as if the room is cold with the window closed, your breath can cause condensation, esp in the night when you're asleep. The problem is people don't seem to take mold as seriously if they haven't had these problems with it.

In case it's useful to y'all. I've had many of these issues for more than a decade. Most symptoms disappeared in like two weeks after I cut off a toxic childhood friend that I felt hugely responsible for because she was very emotionally dependent on me. Consider that this may be a possibility. These toxic relationships where you are always overworking, having to emotionally regulate another person because you feel emotionally blackmailed, cause stress, and that increases cortisol levels. High cortisol can cause many autoimmune issues and imbalances. I had never considered she was behind my bad health until I magically felt healthy again after going NC. It's been months and my health overall keeps improving. I can eat all the gluten and lactose I want without any issues whatsoever, no issues going nº2 AT ALL, no headaches, no fatigue, no trouble sleeping, no hair loss, etc. My skin completely cleared up, and it sounds like a joke, but even my keratosis capilaris disappeared. Cut off that toxic friend, no matter how old the relationship is.

I think that we’re now free SAY we’re not ok is huge. I think a lot of women suffered with severe PMS, depression, anxiety, etc. prior to the 2000’s. First off, we were discouraged from talking about things so personal, and also considered “offensive” to men (and the public at large). But secondly, we have SM to talk it out to strangers and find others who suffer with similar issues. Yeah, our diets I think play a huge part. Same with our environment in general. I’ve seen that men are “now” having more depression and anxiety - but I think it’s always been there. It just wasn’t considered “manly” to talk about. In general, I feel like we’re much more aware of personal issues not being the taboo they used to be. And yes, COVID played a huge part in much of this.

I NEVER had acne as a teen. However, at 25 I started having acne/closed comedones ALL OVER my face. Also, my armpits started to stink like onions constantly. No matter what deo/anti-perspirant, glycolic acid/benzoyl peroxide, antibacterial wash.. they would start to smell! And nothing at all worked for my face. I couldn’t understand why my body was doing this, and I felt like crap ALWAYS. Anyway, I learned that my levels were ok. The only thing that changed before the bad body stuff started? My diet! I started eating literally only sugar. Like sugary snacks/candies/pastries once or twice the day. No real food. I figured it was fine because I wasn’t gaining weight, but all that sugar was ruining my skin and making my body odor bad! As well as being tired all the time. Another pro tip: don’t hold your pee too much or else you’ll mess up your pelvic floor muscles and then you’ll become incontinent and won’t be able to hold your pee at all anymore. Also being constipated can cause you to be incontinent and pee yourself. So eat healthy fiber! And go pee!

True, most people have become so self-absorbed or buried in their phones now, that nobody even looks at you to notice what you look like while out and about anymore. 10 years ago+, people weren't like that at all, but now you can be completely invisible to others when you go out. No-one cares what you look like.

As a suffering endo girlie now on the Mirena IUD, that shit can destroy you completely if it's bad enough.

[@sarahjane4908]

How’s it going with the IUD? I’m getting so tired of the monthly debilitating pain (I take 800 mg ibuprofen days 1 and 2 of my period). I also get vomiting and diarrhea from my period. It’s just horrible. 😞

[@multifandomharlot]

@@sarahjane4908 Your current situation was the exact same as mine. I also took a lot of Ibuprofen to deal with it. Getting the Mirena IUD has helped so much: I no longer vomit, I have very little pain manageable with the lowest form of basic painkillers, I can actually function on my period, it's been a blessing.

[@e11e04_ü]

does iud even work for endometriosis

[@hotpotts]

Mirena is awful. It created a progesterone imbalance (b/c of the development of a dependency to the synthetic hormone from the IUD) that has taken YEARS of detoxing to _mostly_ balance out. Not exactly an innocent "girlie" thing. It's not really a solution either; especially if it's only helping you cope, not make you better and has the potential to make things worse.

[@multifandomharlot]

@hotpotts there is no current cure for endometriosis, none that I know of at least, so at the very least, I'm managing better with the Mirena IUD. It's not full proof, but it helps.

[@GiannaStoltz]

I'm so glad someone's finally addressing this. So many women are gaslit into believing that they're being dramatic and that the pain they experience (for example their period) is normal. ANY amount of pain you feel on your period in not normal, and birth control should not be the solution.

Try doing Intermittent Fasting, if you don't do that already, eat a more ketogenic diet (meat, fish, eggs, cheese, real butter, olive oil, etc.), and only eating during daylight hours. You can still eat well, be in balance and enjoy food while doing all that. 💜

[@samm4158]

vitamin D is also sooooo important, if you’re not basically equatorial and outside constantly then you’re almost guaranteed deficient. even if you drink fortified milk! even if you’re assigned male at birth! low vit d can contribute to or trigger the onset of autoimmune disorders (Hashimoto’s, multiple sclerosis, lupus, Addison’s, Sjogren’s, type one diabetes, Crohn’s… anything where your immune system decides it’s going to eat some important organ or type of cell in your body) which afab people are also at higher risk for. but i believe the root of so much of this is stress. even my dad is constantly dealing with stomach issues from the stress of a family member’s current health situation. stress means you don’t sleep well, eat well, unwind, have quality social time… it takes away from what makes us human. stress keeps your body in fight-or-flight instead of rest-and-digest. society needs to change; the grindset mindset, exorbitant healthcare prices/shitty insurance coverage, and wealth disparity are killing the American people.

I am a doctor (neurologist) and I want to say that things listed in the video a very sad indeed, but don't forget that people usually don't share good things about their health. I don't think that you'll find many posts/video where someone will say: "Ah, what a beautiful morning after refreshing sleep, it's so good that my testicles/ovaries are not messed up". When people feel themselves good they take it for granted, and it should be like that, you just can't admire your proper body functions every second, you just have better things to do. I want to say that when videos like this show up in your feed you need to remind yourself that it's very small fraction of people who have problem like these, and they surely need proper treatment and support, but it's not everyone problem.

Did your doctor indicate that the test results were indicative of an actual imbalance?

16:03 Careful, this study is quoted a lot, and they rarely mention that the tampons have been boiled and only then they found those toxins. That concludes that we should not cook the tampons before inserting them. But when using a tampon as intended (without cooking them) there are no toxins to be afraid of. Best wishes from Germany, a highly regulated country when it comes to those things :)

[@ciarakristos111]

But, logically, you would assume that those toxins must be present in the tampons to begin with, for them to be detectable after boiling the tampons? The toxins didn't come from nowhere. They must be present all along.
