Hi so I got diagnosed with endo last December. Up until that moment I had to look up at least once a month on which side the appendix is because I would have pain in that region and I would get scared. Now I know it is on the right (and my pain is about 80% of the time on the left) but I would look it up every single time regardless. Also my mum's grandpa had situs inversus so his insides were mirrored, so somewhere I am never a 100% reassured when I read where the appendix is lmao. (To my knowledge I dont have this, I know for certain my heart is in the correct spot but one never knows what the organs below the midriff are up to) Anyways so since the diagnosis ive been trying to tell myself it's "just an endo flare" and it works like half of the time mostly because the worst pain does go away after a few hours but still, does anyone have like a quick way to ease my mind when I feel it? Is there a distinctive way there is a difference between endo pain and appendicitis? I also have audhd and an ungodly high pain tolerance, and that combination somehow makes me not able to realise I am properly ill, like I can walk around with a fever for two days without noticing I have one until someone points it out to me or goes like you look ill :/   submitted by   /u/Agitated_Side3897 [link]   [comments]
