The reality of Endometriosis

The ups, the downs & the downright uglys

The decision to fight or give in.

When I was diagnosed with Endometriosis, I felt like somebody had given me the biggest slap in the face ever.

I spent many an hour crying over it. I wasn't the only one. Endometriosis doesn't just affect the patient but also their loved ones who have to watch them suffer.

While one half of me thought, it could be worse, I could be dying of Cancer or HIV. Part of me still thought but on average 10% of women have this. Why me? What did I ever do so wrong to deserve this?

I spent a few days curled away feeling sorry for myself. Then I realised that while I have this and even though it will never go away, why should I stop living my life?

Whether you have a cold, are diagnosed with a serious disease such as Endometriosis or have something even worse such as Cancer, you still have the right to enjoy living.

This blog is going to report on my good days, my bad days and the downright dreadful days! No matter what kind of day it's been though, I will NEVER give in.
