My go-to self-care products that help me feel my best, even on tough days.

Beauty items, med/pain items, and just things that I actually use and recommend in my every day life.

I was dx 10 years ago. Stage III. Three surgeries. Last excision led to complications, snowball events, and now I’m disabled. Short version is endometriosis is the reason. Please refer to Nancy’s Nook for accurate endometriosis education. Nook surgeon’s are based on patient opinions however and not necessarily skillset. Please be mindful of that. Choose a high/volume surgeon who did an AAGL MIGS fellowship.

I developed PN immediately after my third endometriosis excision. These are things that I have used or still use to help me. Plus some awareness merch!

My usuals :)

My nutrition markers are just now normal. These snacks don’t have to be good for me, because they are calories and protein, and that’s better than nothing. After prolonged starvation, whatever you want is pretty fair game.

Some yoga items that I use! I’ve been doing yoga for over 15 years. I have abandoned and come back to it many times, sometimes years. I was going to three classes a week before I got sick. My yoga looks very different than before. It’s mostly gentle stretches, like PT. I require a lot of help. A lot of modifications. I mostly stay on the floor. My body ate through my muscle, so it’s a very slow process to be able to do things again.

Apps I use to make and save money!
