10 things not to say to an Endometriosis suffer

  Endometriosis is a lonely condition that can be made worse by people who are trying to be helpful but are saying some of the strangest things.  We know that they are just trying to be helpful but when we are in pain sometimes things people say just make us snap which really affects our relationships and while we try not to get upset it isn’t always easy so I thought I would make a list of 10 things not to say to an endometriosis suffer.  Just take some pain killers and get over it.  But you don’t look sick.  At least it’s not…. Have you tried hot water bottle/ibuprofen/yoga/keto? When will you start trying for children.  Didn’t surgery cure you? I get cramps too.  You’re too young to be sick Mind over matter just think positively.  My daughter, friend. etc has that and she's fine There are so many more but those are the ones that really get to me.  Let me know which you hate hearing the most in the comments. 

The differences between ablation and laparoscopic surgery

Today we will be talking about t he differences between ablation and  laparoscopic . Pros and cons of both First let’s look at Endometriosis  ablation.  ablation Is when they is a procedure that surgically destroys (ablates) the lining of your uterus (endometrium). The goal of endometrial ablation is to reduce menstrual flow. In some women, menstrual flow may stop completely. No incisions are needed for endometrial ablation. Your doctor inserts slender tools through the passageway between your vagina and uterus (cervix).   Pros Periods should lighten or stop completely within a few months. Uterus and other pelvic organs remain intact. Minimally invasive, no incisions  Often results in improved quality of life for most women Cons Not recommended if you still want to have children Pregnancy after ablation, while rare, carries risk of miscarriage and complications. Bleeding may still occur after ablation, a hysterectomy may be needed in the future. The procedure ca...

The differences between endo, PCOS and Adenomyosis

  While I usually only talk about endometriosis here on my blog, I decided that I wanted to spread awareness on two other conditions that you can have as well as endometriosis, and that’s PCOS (polycystic overt syndrome) and Adenomyosis.  Before I start, let’s go over what each one is.  Google defines endometriosis as A disorder in which tissue that normally lines the uterus grows outside the uterus. With endometriosis, the tissue can be found on the ovaries, fallopian tubes or the intestines. But it can grow anywhere.  Google defines adenomyosis as A condition in which endometrial tissue exists within and grows into the uterine wall. Adenomyosis most often occurs late in childbearing years and typically disappears after menopause Google defines PCOS as A hormonal disorder causing enlarged ovaries with small cysts on the outer edges. The cause of polycystic ovary syndrome isn't well understood but may involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. So now...

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.

How To Cope With Pain

If you have a chronic illness (or even if you live in pain on the daily) even if it isn't endometriosis you know that pain can be hard to handle especially when it is recurring and nothing seems to help so here is a list of five ways to cope with endometriosis pain, leave in the comments what you use to deal with your pain. now I want to start by saying pain killers but that is a lie, well for me at least. my pain killers don't work sadly and all they do is put me to sleep which I guess can be a good thing because I get very little sleep when I am in pain. tens machine:   A transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation ( TENS )  unit  is a device that sends small electrical currents to targeted body parts. These currents are used to relieve pain. I find this helpful because It distracts my mind enough that the pain numbs a tad so it isn't so intense. weighted blanket: I love my weighted blanket, it is exactly that a blanket that is weighted. they are meant to ...
