My Story
This is my Endometriosis story. I will talk about how I was diagnosed and how it affects my everyday life and the lives of those I love. Like I have said previously that I have based this website on my diary that I started writing in 2013 after going through major surgery down to Endometriosis. I have shared my story with friends and colleagues and they have all told me that I should get my diary published so more people could hear my story. After a lot of thought and realising how writing what I had been through had helped me understand my illness better I decided to put it online so more people could read about Endometriosis.
Firstly a quick bit about myself. I was born in July 1986 and was diagnosed with Endometriosis on October 2009 after 7 years worth or hospital appointments and tests. In September 2011 I married the love of my life and we started to try for a family. We were aware that I may find it difficult to conceive but did not realise how hard it was going to be and what a journey that it has lead us through. As well as going through our journey with Endometriosis my story will also follow our journey trying for a family.
I would like to thank all of my friends and family for their support during my struggle with Endometriosis. I realise that I am so lucky to have the support that I do. Sadly some people do not have the support of their friends and family, this is mainly because they do not understand why they can not live a completely normal lift. I have heard a lot of people being told by those that do not understand Endometriosis "You do not look sick, therefore you must be faking it". Just because someone does not look ill does not mean that they are not sick. A lot of women suffering with Endometriosis struggle along with day to day life hiding the amount of pain that they are in.
Please bare with my writing as I am Dyslexic so my writing sometimes is hard to follow also my story may jump about a bit as at the beginning I am going a lot from memory and hospital letters. For this I do apologise and hope that it does not put you off reading.
My story is still continuing to this day and I try to make sure that the website is updated monthly.
Finally
THANK YOU
to my readers for taking the time to read about Endometriosis. Together we can make more people aware of this painful disease.
