Hi there! I recently came across your website and story after doing some searching about endometriosis and the autoimmune protocol. I had surgery 3 weeks ago to remove a large cyst on my left ovary, which was detectable on an ultrasound. I had the painful periods, bladder problems, bowel problems, feeling faint from pain during my period, and spiking a fever as well! Not fun, as you know. When they did the surgery they found I had adhesions all over the place, even my appendix, which they removed. The doctor suspected a cyst had burst, spreading all the yuckiness.
I also have hashimoto’s as well, and your story sounds very similar to mine! I’ve been doing the AIP diet since discovering my hashimotos last year, and I do think that helped my inflammation with the endo. My doctor said he couldn’t believe I wasn’t in more pain. I credit my diet and lifestyle changes to that!
Thank you for sharing your journey, it really made me feel better to find someone with such a similar story to mine.
