Today's been a bit meh.
I woke up REALLY tired. I say woke up I didn't feel awake AT ALL.
It didn't really get much better.
I worked through my lunch but did eat lunch. I felt like I was cramming it in. I had half a bottle of coke, a sub roll with chicken Mayo and salad & a bag of crisps. Not a massive amount.
Then after work I went to tesco. I picked up some bread that was so fresh it was really warm! The lady at the checkout said 'your bread...is fresh' careful love with intellect like that you could be a rocket scientist.
I then made my favourite dinner but only managed to eat half of it. I dont know where my appetite has gone!
Matt came round tonight as a surprise we had a lovely time.
Sadly my aunties cat was put down today :'(
Off to bed as I'm tired and have to be up at 6:45. Killer!

Bank holiday weekend.
Friday: not too bad actually work stressed me out in the morning but that wasn't effected by the endo. Didnt drink alcohol watched the inbetweeners movie which is brill! I'd never seen inbetweeners before cos I thought they were shite. That movie isn't. I would urge you to go see it if you haven't!!
Saturday: I felt a bit iffy. I got quite tired and didn't want much to eat or drink. I had half a sandwich a chicken burger and some chips. I had one cocktail when out and some water. I did however get back into my size ten jeans!
Sunday: I was tired again and it really got to me in the night. I didn't want anything to drink not even water. I was tired and really just not good.
Today has been really good I've not been tired had a nice day out. Had a lovely night in. Not felt ill. Ready for my pit now though!
Sorry there's no italics or colour sent from my iPhone and has taken me an age to type!

I need to grow a pair.
I'm quite miffed and TBH even I think i'm out of order.
Today had been such a good day aswell. I've had no side effects today. I've been normal me today.
I've not really got much to say. I'm sure i'll snap out of this mood.
I guess this is what a good day looks like?
Doesn't say much - literally.

Wednesday 24th August 2011
Today's been a pretty good day too, had a couple of horrible effects today but not too bad. It seems that a couple of actual effects like physical ones don't phase me but one psychological one and it feels like the worst day ever.
I woke up this morning incredibly tired. It was unreal, I could barely keep my eyes open. It eased a bit throughout the day but i've been tired all day really.
This afternoon I had a very bad pain in my stomach, like I get when its my period. Except it's not my period. It was soo sore and I had to take ten minutes off the 'floor' at work. Ouchies!
Then I got home and had bled, the tiniest amount but still, it was blood. Fab. I've had this before but not very often, this is probably the third time this has happened.
Tonight I've had a stomach pain still and its on my hip now, it's horrible to move. I've had to take a Co-codamol, Mr Fayle won't be happy!
I'm off to bed because i'm cream crackered!

Today has been a really good day!
I was so tired getting up this morning, it made me think it was going to be a bad day, however I was quite excited that it was the day of my appointment.
My dad was late picking me up to take me to the hospital, which meant I was late getting to my appointment. I was FUMING!
I saw Mr Fayle. It was so nice to put a name to a face! He really is a lovely man, he made me laugh, not sure whether it was intentional but he did anyhow. It was the first time that I could say 'I have Endometriosis', and smile. I wouldn't say i'm happy about having Endo, I don't think I ever will be but I don't fill up inside anymore.
He asked what I would like to do and I told him I want to carry on with no treatment to relieve the side effects. I have Co-Codamol and Tramadol for the pain, I can manage with them for now. It's when they stop working I need to be treated.
He said that Tramadol is very much a drug that medics aren't sure whether it should be controlled or not. If it turns out to be controlled then I will need to have it administered when I need it. I have had Tramadol for a while now (months) and I have only needed it once. I can usually muddle through on Co-Codamol. He says while I have the Tramadol tablets, should I need to take one then I need to call him and if its at an unsociable hour then I need to call A&E explaining I have Endometriosis and have needed to take Tramadol and they will decide whether I need to be seen. For what I'm not quite sure.
He then said that he would not like a young member of his family to be on Co-Codamol on a monthly basis and doesn't understand why he should be happy about his patients being in that position, however for now, he will leave me on it as I seem to be OK with it and after only just coming to terms with having Endometriosis he doesn't want to make changes yet that i'm not comfortable with.
I was asked how I felt about having Endometriosis. I was honest and said that at first it felt like a big slap in the face. Mr Fayle was very empathetic. He advised that telling young people, especially those under 25 that they have it is one of the parts of his job he hates the most. He asked if I'd told anyone and when I said apart from parents, best friend, boyfriend, auntie and boss (all people im close to or need to know) then no. We live in a world where everyone feels the right to know everything.
The truth is though - Endometriosis is NOT something to be ashamed of, it will scare people, but if they can't handle the answer, they shouldn't ask the question.
My care is in his hands, but my appointment frequency is in mine (within reason) I just have to call when I want/think I need another appointment. When I go onto have a child I will need to have regular appointments with him during pregnancy and he will need to be there when I go into labour.
I have felt so much calmer since my appointment.
All in all a good day!

:)
That sums me up right now.
I've had a naff day at work but meh that was earlier on.
Matt came round tonight even though he said he wasn't, it was such a nice surprise. He knocked on the door and everything so I had no idea who it was.
He makes me so happy.
In regards to the endo, its not really been noticable today have to say im sleepy now though! I have an appointment with the gynaecologist tomorrow. It will be the first time I've met him. I'm quite excited (not really the right word) that I'm finally going to be able to put a face to the name of the person who will be in charge of my care for as long as he continues to practice as a gynaecologist. This man is very important in my life. No offence I wish I didn't need him but hey ho he seems nice enough!
For now I am one happy bunny! I have the best boyfriend ever and I've not been too ill today either.

Satyrday 20th August & Sunday 21st August 2011
Saturday -
I watched Bridget Jones' Diary haha love those films. Had a crap night sleep last night with my cold so you can imagine how tired I am, two pillows and a honey and lemon drink will see me right. Due to being ill, I have done naff all as I feel twice as drained.
Sunday -
We went to the wildlife park today with friends, it was tiring walking round.
I've not really been hungry today and have felt a bit 'off', I'm not too sure if its the endo or the cold, or both.
I had a really good nights sleep last night! That honey and lemon did the trick. Just hope I can get a good nights sleep tonight!
