What is Endometriosis? (March 2018)

Stand up for yourself. You have 176 million Sister's with you in this. Don't allow anyone to take your control away or kick out at your comfort zone. 

If you can't do something right now because of this invisible illness then tell the person/people who are expecting too much from you.

Knowledge is our best weapon. Ignorance breeds intolerance to our situation.

I'm grateful to have my person, the one I can talk to about my limitations and she doesn't guilt trip me because she two went through it. But touch wood she was able to carry two pregnancies full term before having a hysterectomy at 32. @firequeen7 

I've had to resort to an endometrial ablation, Dec 2017,of my uterus to try control the clots and haemorrhaging. This now means I will never carry my own child. 

Without the unconditional support for the past 21 almost 22 years  I honestly don't know where I'd be. I've gone through some really dark times due to this illness and as we know there is no cure.

We need to do our part now matter how big or small in order to educate others as much as we can about Endo & Adeno, PCOS, FBD, Fibroids, cysts... Keep a diary and if something looks out of the ordinary such as bleeding longer than a week please contact your primary health care.

Apologies for the late rant. It's been a tough few months. 

Big hugs and love you you guys. If anyone needs/wants to discuss this further DM me please.

Are you participating in your city? My country 🇮🇪 doesn't march for Endo which is disappointing. Although to my knowledge the national charity EAI have turned up to the women's mini marathon and wear their shirts to promote themselves/endo. 

Research shows 1 in 10 women have some form of Endo. I don't have stats for Adeno. That 176 million women worldwide and no cure. Shocking, in 2018 to still be fighting this.
