Today's Endo face

I mentioned earlier I was having a flare up. Not only have I not been able to move with the pain but I'm shaky, my hands literally are shaking and I feel so wobbly.

It feels like there's an ovarian tug of war going on all day and it's really not enjoyable. My pain meds are not doing anything and I'm down to Belladonna as I'm out of everything else. The shops are all closed now so will get pain meds tomorrow and hopefully they'll help. I got off the Ponstan and Tramadol, difene and acupan as the side effects and dependency levels were ridiculous so it's homeopathic remedies now and rarely otc meds.

Just feeling miserable and it's times like this that I'm grateful I have such loving and supportive family and friends in my life.honestly would love a Bobi snuggle now. She always make me laugh and feel good and my Mum loves to snuggle and we talk random shite all of the time
 They're the best women I know and I am so proud of them each and every day.

Literally half been in bed most of this evening except to move to the couch where I had decaf and black forest with the bf's
Mother. She pulled blankets over me and we watched Salt. It was nice.  Treatment my Mum gives me but I would never expect it off anyone else. I think so far we're getting on ok although I still need to push the Brotber and find out about the Bf's wild stories haha.

But now I'm currently in bed again, in agony still. Feel as if I've been drained of all of my energy.

It's half past midnight here. I know, party animal or what? Going to try destress and hopefully get some sleep.

Love to you all

Be grateful for the good days

Yesterday I managed to stumble through without too much discomfort which was epic timing as it was the meeting of the Mother's day.

My Mum and Sister were coming over for dinner to meet the boyfriend's Mum and Brother for the first time as they are over from France on a visit. This was a first for me so the nerves were up a little.

The dinner was cooking away, table set all by his Mum and I went over to collect my people. Some Dutch courage was needed so into my local for a quick drink with Mum and Bobi before heading home.

Made the introductions, the alcohol came out and in true Irish style everyone immediately began talking over each other.
The dinner went down well and his Mum made a great effort even doing a gluten free dessert as my Sis is a coeliac.

There was a surprise guest in the form of the local priest which was a funny moment and for a second we thought there might be some kind of conspiracy but he was a lovely gentlemen and very easy going.

Everyone got on and bonded. The two families are very similar in some ways and I'm thrilled it all went well. There was no apocalypse, just a bit of rain.

Today I've woken to a beautiful Endo flare up. I'm currently curled up with my hot water bottle (need to get a new heatpad) and look like crap. Feel drained and my back is do achy. Shoulders, feet and of course my abdomen ate all sore. Just feel blah.

But I'm so grateful that if only for a little while I got to enjoy some normal family time.

Pop goes the cyst

Finally last night my cyst burst. It has been annoying me for weeks now and yesterday I could just feel this twisting, gnawing aggravating pain so I was extremly relieved when it went it's merry way. Today however I feel utterly exhausted, like I've climbed Everest without Oxygen. I feel completely drained of energy and I'm finding it hard to keep my eyes open.

I was doing some study earlier on and when I went to go get a cup of coffee I had another sharp pain followed by a pop on my right side this time. The pain was so intense that I collapsed on the floor. I've grazed my arm and hit my head. Yay another bruise! (said sarcastically)

So at the moment I'm feeling fairly crappy. I have heat on my abdomen in the form of a hot water bottle. I'm seriously thinking of getting a TENS machine and I can't wait to try a Castor Oil Pack.

I'm off to get some rest guys. Love to my Sister's

Pictures over the course of me writing this post. As you can see I'm not very glamorous today.

Also, notice the nice bruising that's appearing on my right cheekbone. Fun times.
