Been lying in bed for 5 hours after a colposcopy and biopsy. My obgyn is wonderful, but there’s only so much you can do to ease the pain of 4 samples in someone who’s resistant to local anesthetic. Also, the oral tranexamic acid didn’t help much. Plus it took 5 attempts to get my blood pressure, and I had such a hard time convincing the poor nurse that it wasn’t her fault; it happens to me all the time. So all in all, not the best day.

New strategy- just sleep through as much of the next few days as possible. Trying to give that good ol’ “poor wound healing” as much help as possible.

@kburnard Exactly my strategy. I feel so fortunate to be able to sleep when I don't want to lay about in pain. Snooze well! #EDS 😴 🛌
