Juggling being a mum with Endometriosis

 


Being a man with endometriosis is hard work especially when you’re in a lot of pain and you have a child that is demanding attention and needing loved and cared for but it’s not impossible. 

Painkillers that work for you or having a pain management routine that helps you is beneficial in many ways whether you’re a parent or not but when you have a child that really needs attention and you’re in a lot of pain it can be a lot of hard work and it can actually cause you’re a lot more pain. 

You can experience feelings of being a failure or a bad parent because of not being able to do as much with your child, my daughter loves going to the park and I don’t have a backyard at the house I live at when I’m writing this back in January but when I’m having a really bad day I find it hard to be able to walk to the park to take her so I feel like a bad parent.

I have found ways to manage and you will too if you become a parent you are a parent but it’s not without feelings of failure or having days we can’t do much and have to spend the day in bed with your child with everything next to you.

My 5 Endometriosis must haves

As an Endometrisoisis suffer i am no stranger to debilitating pain on a consistent basis, because of this i have found a few things that work for me and i am going to share my must-have endometriosis items.   castor oil pack-  now these are super easy to make and i actually have a tutorial on my youtube channel on how to make one  click to go to the video . i love these because they actually help reduce my bloating if i catch it in time. electric blanket-  now i don't mean the ones that you put under the sheets on your bed i mean the ones you take with you on the couch and plug into the powerpoint, they are also known as heating pads in America.    coffee-  i do know this doesn't help everyone but for me at least when i get really crampy and its that kind of pain you get with bowel endometriosis that is so painful but you can't physically go  (if you know then you know)  coffee helps me get things moving  *TMI*  and help reduce that pain. an animal- yes  i

Questions | what do you want to see from my blog?

 This months blog post is a bit different. I have landed up pregnant and because of this, I am at a standstill on what to post. So my question for this blog post is what kind of Endometriosis videos and blog posts would you guys like to see? I have been busily writing a book on Endometriosis trying to get all the information sorted for the book, answering questions etc. at the moment it doesn't feel like a good book just yet so I want to know what you guys are dying to know, and what you want to see so I can make the book, My Endometriosis series and my blog more of what you want to know and see.

Resources to learn more about Endometriosis

While my book on endometriosis is finally in the editing stages, it has a while until it will be ready to be published. Still, I got to thinking about what resources there are now about endo, not only from a medical standpoint but also from a sufferers point of view. I found books for sale as well as other blog posts, which was amazing to see how much there is out there. Still, it got me thinking, people who don't know what they are looking for might never find any of these resources, so I thought I would make a blog post detailing what each resource is about and the link to that resource as well as ways you yourself can find information.  Disclaimer: Podcasts will not be involved in this post, but I do have a post on my blog from May 2021 all about endometriosis podcasts if that's what you are looking for.  So how do you find resources? The easiest way to find resources in your area would be to search up online Endometriosis and your area. Example. Endometriosis San Diego  Th
