Endometriosis

Yes, it has been a while since I last posted...

I've been suffering from severe pains for many years now. Finally, doctors decided it was time to perform an exploratory surgery. During this surgery I was actually diagnosed with a severe case of endometriosis. I had heard a little about this disease before, how uterine tissue begins to grow all over the reproductive parts like a cancer, but I didn't know all the facts.

I didn't realize that it is the leading cause of infertility, or that it usually takes an average of nine years of living with the crippling pain it presents before a woman is finally diagnosed. I was lucky, it only took six years in my case. Even so, there is no definitive cure to endometriosis, I am currently in remission and will hopefully remain in remission for the rest of my life.

Women with endometriosis are often misunderstood since there is so much ignorance about this disease, if I can help at least one person understand this disease better it would mean ever so much to me.
