i (maybe naively) assumed that the lack of pain was due to post op pain, the 'period' a few days later was spotting due to disturbance and not actual painful cramping, and now her regular cycle has resumed her pain has returned due to her hormones. i'm not claiming her to be the only source of endo awareness to ever exist, but if it encourages someone to offer support to a person they know suffering, it's not exactly a bad thing.

I have had 3 laparoscopies cancelled due to the pandemic where my endometrial tissue has grown back . I can not pay for private surgery like she has

she was only suffering for 6 months with this when her viewings dropped and she neeed an excuse to be lazy

she has never mentioned once all the other things
That come with endometriosis it’s not just uterine pain

she is not girl who should sorry a women who should be ever spreading information about it
As I mention before I’m involved with a lot of endo groups and we are worried and disgusted at the info she posts is invalidating and false and dangerous

but I agree she does have munchausen

Catch up on the whole story then you will understand

I’ve suffered from endometriosis for the last 10 years numerous laparoscopies and all medication under the sun you are coming off quite offensive to me and the other women who suffering form this

i apologise immensely if I caused offense - i have a long family history of hormone and gynae related conditions. I haven't yet had a laparoscopy as i'm scared shitless of operations, but have PCOS based on bloodwork and symptoms regardless of medication that stops me from menstruating. my intention was simply to offer another perspective to her increased pain!
 
knivesnflowers said:
is that not what she's now clarifying by sharing that her period rn is super painful? if someone reading this thread had similar symptoms and experiences to gabbie, would they not now feel invalidated and paranoid based on these reactions? i was just trying to provide another perspective as to why it's flared again in line with her cycle.

Erm no? Because she said at first ‘my doctor said the first one would hurt and then they’ll be fine’ and now she’s saying ‘my doctor said 3-4 months will be bad’ so which is it? She hasn’t done a proper video explaining anything which you would assume someone who genuinely wanted to raise awareness would do, not drip feed false information as and when she fancies it. There are several people on this thread with endo so I would hope anyone reading would feel encouraged to seek out medical assistance. Both myself and someone else who actually have endo (no offence intended but it’s not the same as PCOS at all) are telling you we and others we know with endo are concerned about how Gabby is handling it, which is pretty invalidating in itself to be honest.
 
Where are we getting the 3 periods from? As far as I know this is her 2nd isn’t it?

I mentioned on the last thread that she has the same cycle as me so she should have definitely been due on (at the time). I was assuming it was about a week before her period was due (can’t remember what she said now to bring up the period talk again) so it works out about right that she would come on now (even though I’ve still not come on yet but should do soon, I just know she was claiming to have her period when I was last on mine). So that would be two periods since her op, unless I’ve missed something as I only go off what’s posted on here, I don’t follow her on anything.

to clarify, i have suspected endo but am being treated for PCOS as i've not had investigative or confirmatory surgery! I understand they're different but can, in early stages, have a crossover in symptoms. i would just urge people to question without gatekeeping!
 
OP said that it’s refreshing to see that Gabby shows there isn’t just a quick fix to endo but as someone with very little endew knowledge unlike some of the lovely people here who have helped me understand more. It does seem like Gabby creates the impression that her endo pain/endo problems are fixed after surgery and as if that was the quick fix 🤔
 
Remember the spark in her eyes when she said it was confirmed endo? It is offensive how much she enjoyed her "diagnosis"
Gabby is nowhere near refreshing in any area of her life whatsoever. SEW if you have any kind of illness do not take her word on this or any other illness she has claimed to have in the past.

Some of us have suffered more than enough because of this illness to take her as an example or as a posterchild for that matter. This all thing is exhausting.

Personally, if I was not yet diagnosed with a condition, I would listen to the opinion of those who do regarding someone raising good awareness for that condition or not. I find what you’re doing invalidating, and the other poster has said they also find it offensive. There are several posters who have endo on this thread and I can’t think of a single person of those people who thinks what Gabby is doing is good or right, or in any way helpful for sufferers of the condition we have. Most don’t believe she has it.
I don’t want to go too off topic so I will leave it there. Best of luck with seeking a diagnosis.
 
Let me just say this, that being aggressively misinformed about things for the sake of being aware is a million times more damaging than having no knowledge at all. This is my personal opinion. I accidently came upon a video of Gabby's and coincidentaly it's one of the first ones where she first started mentioning her potential of having Endo. As one diagnosed with it, I decided to maybe follow up on her journey as fellow sufferers usually do to support each other. I quickly realized it was all a sham even before I came upon any of her threads, or at least that she's not the person to rely on for information regarding endo. I'm not invalidating her diagnosis, just expressing that she's more a danger to the community than anything. She's a cesspit of false information, contrived narratives and passive aggressive stupidity. To the person who I think does not know any better, you're better off following many other yters with endo/pcos who aren't offensive and respect their audience enough to relay facts and genuine possible scenarios to these complicated conditions.

personally, I cried with relief when getting each of my diagnoses, as after years of chronic pain, I was able to access specialist consultants and knew what and where to research to help myself in between appointments. it also made it easier when symptoms that couldn't be explained by conditions i knew i had now fell under a new, confirmed umbrella. to each their own though!

most don't *believe* she has it, which is ultimately my point. until i can access her medical records, i'm going to listen to her, try to understand, and as always with things said online, take it with a pinch of salt. there are multiple people in my life who are diagnosed with the condition, which is where my understanding comes from. apologies again for coming across as invalidating, this wasn't my intention! best of luck too in finding effective treatment and pain management!

I think this is true for all sufferers. I sobbed endlessly for my diagnoses as well. In my case i've had PCOS and Endo for years. It's very true that being diagnosed is a complete relief as it explains the countless unexplained symptoms across the years. However, Gabby really is far from a source of reliable information. She's been proven to lie and exagerrate everything from her eye color, several medical conditions to breaking lockdown policies. She's also made sweeping generalizations of not only Endo, but every other topic in general to match up her narrative. Again, i'm not invalidating her having Endo, she probably has it, but she brings more harm than good to the communtiy more than anything. Even the mere gorging on carb loaded and sugary food even after her diagnosis, which is a big, fat NO to any pcos or endo sufferer, is a harmful example to fans. To think her fans are mostly impressionable and young people, as well, that don't know any better. I don't know, i could go on with this, but I hope you get my point. I hope you find other yters who are more reliable and trustworthy to be giving out information about such complicated conditions.
 
Yeah the bit that makes me so cup upset and angry is how flippant she is. I’m way down the line with my endo now but what about
Young girls who are watching who are suffering may think this is normal

she’s made it seem you can walk-in into a doctors say you have endo have a few bad periods and have surgery a few months later

not thinking oh I don’t have 5400 plus pounds. a private doctor can diagnose you with anything and prescribe you anything as long as money is involved

she’s not explained the other mental and physical pain and problems that can come with it which can be invalidated by many doctors

which makes me question I don’t think she does have it if we go back to the old voice message what the doctor said didn’t screen endo there a many reasons for scar tissue around the uterine region but that’s not what endo is it’s so much more complicated

also the constant boasting about opiate pankilles such as tramadol that’s dangerous

did you know you are at risk of serotonin syndrome if you are on any prescriptions anti depressant ssris and take tramadol at the same time . It’s could cause death! Also
Opiates can cause addiction very quickly and they suck the life out of you

she’s just dangerous and sickening to me
And the fact she has young girls following her

What I don’t trust about it is that she started all this ‘mysterious abdomen pain’ episode saying it was gallstones (or kidney stones? One of the two) because ‘George had it and it sounds the same’. She very briefly floated the idea that she might have surgery related adhesions - then that idea was harpooned. Then she decided she had endo - this time because Jane had it. Not only can we not believe a thing she says, it really seems like she is just desperate to copy people around her. I fully believe she could easily have surgery related adhesions, and given that that’s the idea she rejected most quickly (probably because people may perceive this as something she brought on herself by having surgery and so won’t garner as much sympathy) it’s the one that seems the most likely to me 🤷🏻‍♀️
 
Another thing, which is one of the things that irritate me the most, is she uses her "Endo" or the symptoms of it as a crutch. She uses it to get out of situations. If that's not a being bad example, i don't know what is! In normalising and spreading awareness of such conditions, it should also be discussed how one can still be able to function as a happy, trustworthy, and positive member of society despite her condition. Fair enough if you've got it severe, as I understand that completely! I've had uterine/endometrial cancer so I know severe and I know better than to gatekeep. But she jumps from one situation to the next! She's happy and pain free, then she says rude things and gets backlash, then suddenly she's in pain and the victim! Her period pain is the worst, and aggravated due to having Endo but then she stuffs a truckload of junkfood down. What kind of sorcery is that, then? It's up to her if she wants to be scummy in other aspects in her life, but I just want her to stop using her condition as an escape card and poor me forever victim card. She does this all the time! It's endless! For every scandal she's had, she's had a condition to hide behind. Just makes me want do do my bald head in.

She probably comes on here, sees that someone has their period and then goes “alright I have my period too so I can justify eating everything I can get my grubby hands on”.
