Oh gosh honey, I'm so sorry you have to deal with dermoid cysts as well as bad doctors!

I've had one dermoid cyst in my life (so far), and since then I've tried to read up on them as much as possible, but there's really not much known about them. I know that men can get them as well, from an osteology class I had to take (this man had one in the bone of his forehead!). I hope that you are able to find a better doctor who can help with these.

Thanks, I hope something can be figured out, too. Though for now anyway, I don't have more dermoid cysts, which isn't exactly comforting, given the amount of pain I'm in a lot of the time lately. I can't imagine having a dermoid attached to the bone in your forehead!!! OMG!!! Ouch, ouch, ouch!! It would be nice to get some better doctors too, though I don't know where to even start with that.
Thanks for your comment,

Something I learned after my 3rd lap to look for endo, and them not finding any for the 2nd time in a row, my PCP decided to take the bull by the horns and put me on hyoscyamine sulfate. Her reasoning was that I was having bowel and bladder spasms, and these were triggering my uterus to spasm as well, leading to the 7 out of 10 pain I was having on a daily basis. I hardly ever have pain anymore now that I'm on it, so for what it's worth, you may want to check into that. I know it isn't always the case for everyone, but if it helps in any way, it just might be worth taking.

Thank you. I'll ask my OBGYN about it, when I see her on the 20th of next month. How do you pronounce the first word of that med? I've looked at it several times, spelling it out with my screen reader, and I can't figure it out. If I can pronounce it, I'll ask her about it. That's very interesting. Would Endo show up on an Ultrasound? I don't think it does, right? Just checking. I'm soooo glad that something worked for you and you're finally pretty much pain free!! The last couple months of really crazy pain has almost made me forget what it's like to not have pain and to not feel absolutely exhausted all the time. This is all compounded by the fact that I'm blind and live alone. I have to spend hours standing waiting at bus stops, hauling my groceries home myself, taking care of my pets myself, making lunches for work by myself, having to do everything myself. Sometimes, I skip a meal during the day/night anymore, cause I can't do everything.
Thank you very much!!
