How about posting pics of weird cat behavior online?
A tortoiseshell kitty rolling in the floor with her catnip carrot is shaped like a crescent moon and has wide eyes.Another tortoiseshell kitty rolling on the floor with her catnip carrot reaches toward the camera like an upside-down Superman.

I gave up owning cars, but I always had compact cars. Somebody tried to tell me my Honda Civic was okay for driving around the city, but that it shouldn’t be allowed on the highway because it was too dangerous to drive around larger vehicles. 🙄 Maybe you’re too large, bro.

3) Endometriomas (chocolate cysts) almost always indicate severe disease. A general gyn surgeon won’t be able to handle complex endometriosis cases. Find expert help. Some surgeons will even do free case reviews to help you find your treatment path forward.

Your sister’s story sounds a lot like mine. 1) Endometriosis has a very strong genetic component. 2) MRI can frequently miss endometriosis either due to the experience of the person reading the MRI, or because the MRI resolution misses the lesions.

Thank you for the work you do. Because of advocates like you, I learned to accept that I can’t just push through the pain and fatigue of endometriosis. I give myself grace when I need rest. 💛🌻💛 Merry Christmas and peace to you.

Refusing to help those in need is tantamount to rejecting God himself, says pontiff during Christmas Eve mass Pope Leo has told Christians that the Christmas story should remind them of their duty to help the poor and strangers. In his Christmas Eve sermon, the pope said the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn showed followers that refusing to help those in need was tantamount to rejecting God himself.
