dunno why nobody talks about this but post surgery recovery for endo is a whole thing. i’ve had a few surgeries and each time it’s like, the doc is all ‘you’ll be fine’ but nobody tells you what to actually expect. i’ve been tracking my glucose and symptom flares and it’s been a game changer for me. my cycles are still all over the place but at least i can see patterns now. idk, has anyone else noticed that their recovery is way harder than expected? like, the first few weeks are a breeze but then you hit this wall and it’s just exhaustion and pain. i’ve been trying to figure out if it’s related to my lean pcos or just the surgery itself. anyone have any insight? anyway.
the exhaustion wall is real
the way you describe hitting a wall after the first few weeks, like the exhaustion and pain come later, that’s what makes tracking so tricky for me too. did the surgery cause it or was it just waiting to flare anyway?
that second wave of exhaustion hits different, right?
edit: clarifying
