Endometriosis

Endometriosis—the struggle is real.  Killer cramps are NOT normal.  Periods that last longer than 7 days are NOT normal. Heavy bleeding that soaks through a tampon every 2 hours is NOT normal; pain during sex is NOT normal. Bouts of diarrhea and vomiting that accompany every menstrual cycle are NOT normal. No, no, and no!  For many people, this reality is just endometriosis at work.

Sad truth: Many of us are taught to downplay these symptoms. Our pain is diminished by parents, siblings, friends and even health care professionals who convince us that everyone goes through this.

Maybe that is why, according to the Endometriosis Foundation of America, it takes 10 years on average to receive an accurate endometriosis diagnosis. That’s a decade, people! That’s 130 periods of agony, 912 days of someone asking you to take Advil and suck it up.  That…is not okay.

Endometriosis is pervasive.  It affects 1 in 20 Americans of reproductive age and an estimated 176 million people worldwide. It occurs when tissue similar to the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) is found outside the uterus on other parts of the body.  

There are lots of symptoms that can vary among patients.  Pelvic pain is most common, as well as pain that coincides with menstruation.  Other symptoms include heavy cramps, long-lasting bleeding, nausea or vomiting, pain during sex and, unfortunately, infertility.  Some people may even experience symptoms throughout their entire cycle—a real drag.

In addition to these physical symptoms, endometriosis takes a toll on someone’s personal and professional life. Chronic pain can severely affect quality of life day-to-day; medical care can be extremely costly. Furthermore, absenteeism can alter relationships in the workplace and at home.

Despite the intense discomfort, many people do not realize they have endometriosis until they try to get pregnant. And because the disease tends to get progressively worse over time, approximately 30-40% of people who have endometriosis experience fertility challenges.

There is no simple diagnostic test for endometriosis—no blood, urine, or saliva testing can confirm the condition. The only way to verify endometriosis is to undergo a diagnostic laparoscopy with pathology confirmation of biopsy specimens.  

On the bright side, many endometriosis symptoms— including infertility—can be addressed after diagnosis. The gold standard for endometriosis treatment is laparoscopic excision surgery. This involves a careful removal of the entire endometrial lesion from wherever it grows.

The first step to getting there is recognizing that your pain is not normal and seeking timely intervention. The earlier endometriosis is detected and treated, the better the results. Tracking your symptoms will make you better informed for your next doctor’s visit, and set you on a path to better (and less painful!) menstrual health.

oh shit.

Can’t stress enough the early diagnosis part. My mum recently had to have a hysterectomy due to endometriosis and the doctors were like “well, if we’d known about this sooner, a much smaller operation would have been fine and we could have kept the uterus”. Get this shit checked early, guys

[jumpingjacktrash]

beeps, idk who you are on tumblr but if you’re following me, THIS THIS THIS

[songofages]

Yo! Went on the pill for period pain when I was 14 but it wasn’t till I was 23 that I was diagnosed with endo. And only then because I’d had such bad period pain, worse than ever (id have gone to the ER if it wasn’t that time of the month) Follow this with a gyno visit, ultrasounds and a CT Scan that didn’t go well. (Apparently I’m allergic to the dye, nice to know.) They finally decided that I had ovarian cysts and that they could be as a result of endo but can’t tell until they removed them with a lapeoscopy. (i say finally, was quite quick actually) In the end when they got inside they were endomitromas and that I did have endo and the removed as much as they could. Been fine since, not allowed a period so thats a bonus! It was go permenently on the pill till I get pregnant (if thats what I want and if I even can) or go through menopause in my mid twenties. Kinda… didn’t want that. But as above, get checked. Seriously this stuff can mess up your insides, all your insides, this shit gets everywhere. See a GP, see a gynocologist, get checked!

XERNEAS, YVELTAL AND ZYGARDE FROM GENERATION 6

Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde are based around Yggdrasil of Norse mythology. Xerneas is Eikþyrnir who lives under the life tree, Yveltal is Hraesvelgr who represents death, and Zygarde is the underground Nidhogg. Xerneas shares its life, Yveltal takes the lives of others to replenish its own, and Zygarde works to maintain the natural balance of the life-death cycle.

 RESHIRAM, ZEKROM, AND KYUREM FROM GENERATION 5 

Reshiram and Zekrom represent Truth vs Ideals, and the Tao philosophy of Yin/Yang. While Kyurem is the grey area in morality, a hollow shell left behind by the singular Dragon these three once used to be before humans tried using it for what they perceived to be “right”, when in reality it was just differing perspectives. 

 PALKIA, DIALGA, GIRATINA, AND ARCEUS FROM GENERATION 4 

Dialga and Palkia are the Shinto legend inspired, godlike entities responsible for guarding and creating space and time. They come from a more scientific approach to how the universe works/was created, whereas Arceus and Giratina are more spiritual as they are designed with inspirations from various versions of “God” and “Satan” in dozens of different religions around the world.  

GROUDON, KYOGRE, AND RAYQUAZA FROM GENERATION 3 

Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza are modelled after the biblical beasts; The Behemoth, Leviathan, and Ziz. Groudon created the land, Kyogre rules the seas, and Rayquaza guards the skies. Groudon and Kyogre helped shape the world (Alpha) and often nearly end the world in conflict with each other (Omega). Rayquaza acts as a neutralizing force to aid the world and its people. 

 HO-OH AND LUGIA FROM GENERATION 2 

Ho-Oh has clear inspirations from various fire-birds in different legends from various cultures like the Phoenix, Fenghuang, and the Huma Bird, as it is associated with the power to revive itself and others from ashes, bring eternal happiness, and rainbow iconography. Lugia could be considered similar to the sea-dwelling dragon, Ryujin of Shinto myth, and he has subtle elements that seem similar to a beluga whale. 

 MOLTRES, ARTICUNO, AND ZAPDOS FROM GENERATION 1 

Hot bird, cold bird, and zappy bird.

help a pakistani lesbian dodge an arranged marriage

hey guys, my time is slowly thinning, and I have been working many under-table jobs as my parents do not currently allow me to be employed, to keep me from gaining independence.

long story short: i love my partner (and best friend of 6 years) and want to be with them. coming out is not an option because it almost happened and ended poorly.

we plan on escaping soon but it’s hard. my parents have been more and more scary about getting married and the boy they have picked for me is THE WORST.

and i’m tired. we’re tired!!!!  

and i just want to be with my love!! the best most honest love of my life.

me and @inquisitcrlavellan, on whether Rion would be called Warden Rion or Warden Severan:

me: they call him “Warden Blackwall” which is his surname aeron: well. nobody is going to say “Warden Gordon”

WARDEN GORDON. I CAN’T STOP LAUGHING.

THE FACT THAT I CAN’T STOP THINKING ABOUT GORDON RAMSAY AS A GREY WARDEN ISN’T HELPING.

The reason depression is literally the worst is not because of the soul-crushing sadness or the wanting to kill yourself or the self harm or all the violent and extreme emotions that come with dealing with this particular mental handicap. It’s the long and painful stretches of days of weeks of months where you’re not really depressed, but you kind of just exist. The time you spend sitting in bed aimlessly browsing the Internet instead of finishing that video game you thought was fun or going out with a friend to see a movie or getting up and doing your laundry. You exist, and it’s okay, but you’re not really sure why. You’re not doing anything productive when you have all the time in the world to be doing it. You feel like you’re missing out on life, but at the same time you feel that it doesn’t really matter. That’s the worst kind of depression.

[darrencalvert]

People often say to me: “You draw like some kind of inhuman machine.  If I eat your brain, will I gain your power?”  The answer is yes, but there is another way. The key to precise drawing is building up muscle memory so that your arm/hand/fingers do the things you want them to do when you want them to do them.  Teaching yourself to draw a straight line or to make sweet curves is just a matter of practice and there are some exercises you can do to help improve. If you’re going to be doodling in class or during meetings anyway, why not put that time to good use?

[lycanboots]

This is so important to mention to all artists. The reason PRACTISE improves drawing ability over time is it increases the literal, technical movement in your hands and arms through /muscle memory/.

[gorillaprutt]

THIS IS VERY GOOD, to all the people that like my lines. I do similar but less constructed doodles like these in my sketchbook all the time, it basically just teaches your hand how to move
