The reality of Endometriosis

The ups, the downs & the downright uglys

Thursday 11 August 2011

It's nearly a week since I was diagnosed and today has been the worst day so far.

I woke up extremely tired, even more so than normal. I felt sick and had a sore belly.

I went to work and spent the first hour and a half nursing a coffee. I ended up being sick. Thats when I knew it was going to be a bad day. It's now almost time for bed and I have been sick four more times since this morning.

My belly has had a heavy feeling all day and my energy levels haven't improved.

I've suffered sickness days in the past but the sickness has always eased by lunch. It hasn't today. Being tired and working a seven hour day is hard enough without the added sickness.

It caused me to retreat into my own little bubble and appreciate being left alone.

I went to the pub last night for a pub quiz. I had two drinks so was nowhere near drunk and have a feeling that they contributed to my sickness. I had an app on my iPhone which said that women suffering with Endometriosis drink less to reduce the symptoms. It annoys me to think that in my teenage years i'm already having to watch my alcohol intake. Then again feeling the way I did today isn't worth it.
