Endometriosis

I run a youtube channel, and while I talk about a range of topics on my channel, I also try and educate people on endometriosis because there are so many misconceptions about this chronic illness. This post is kind of different in the fact that every time I make a youtube video on this condition, I will be updating this post with all of that information as well as the playlist with all the videos.

the endometriosis diet (also known as the endo diet) is a diet that endometriosis sufferers sometimes go on in hopes of managing there pain and symptoms. while the endo diet didn't work for me i have heard many success stories from women who tried it. in this post, i will be going over what the actual diet is and more tips like that to try and help you. it is with giving it a try because while not everything will work for you you may notice some things that work better than others and the worst that will happen is you go off it because it didn't work like me. foods that may worsen your symptoms are: foods that are high in trans fat: so that things like crackers, cookies, cakes, frozen pies, and other baked goods, coffee creamer and microwave popcorn. red meat gluten high FODMAP: so things like garlic, onion, grains, sweeteners and legumes. alcohol caffeine dairy products things that are good to eat are: fibrous foods: so things like fruits and vegetables. i...

On Wednesday the 12th February, I had an appointment with my specialist to discuss the next steps in my treatment plan and this is what is going on and how it went down. it started out with me writing down a list the night before of all the symptoms I have experienced in the past which still affect me today and all the newer ones and printing it off. my list: painful periods, heavy periods (maternity pad soaked on a light day), blood clots (around 20 to 50 cent coin size), Fatigue, pain when I have a full bladder, pain when going toilet, sharp pain in the rectum and lower back when I need/when I have a bowel movement, nausea around ovulation and period, vomiting from pain around period, lower back pain (24/7) with pain increase when I am sitting/standing too long (around period and ovulation), pulling inside near my right ovary on my period when moving that feels like something is stuck and every time I move is pulling, sometimes not being able to walk on m...

TMI warning, blood, and all the beautifulness of female periods  this blog post is about a brief overview of how i found out about my suspected endometriosis and the journey so far that i have had with this illness my journey with this condition started when i was around six or seven years old when i had my first period. yes, i was an early bloomer.  my periods were irregular until i was nine years old. my mum always knew when another period was about to hit because i started getting pain from ovulation though until my period finished and i was very moody so she just knew. i was in and out of doctors for the pain for years, at ten i was put on birth control to try and stop my ten-fourteen day periods that were very heavy down to seven days which worked but not with the flow. at this point, i was missing a few days of school a month. by age fourteen i was in and out of the emergency room and different doctors for the pain, i was vomiting, curled up in pain, missing tw...

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 he...

I am apart of the  one in ten  women who suffer from endometriosis. endometriosis is a chronic illness with an unknown cause but is suspected to have something to do with too much estrogen. while there is no known cure for endometriosis they do have some treatment options which can help subside symptoms and/or help for a short amount of time so far the treatment options are hormones and excision surgery. WHAT IS ENDOMETRIOSIS A disorder in which tissue that normally lines the uterus grows outside the uterus. I will say that some people do find relief from common pain meds but I'm on 3 kinds of pain killers very strong (1000mg panadol, 500mg mefenamic acid and 100mg tramadol (3x daily for pain)) and as I'm writing this I'm on my last cycle of Noriday which is the 2nd last birth control I can go on before surgery and menopause tablets. now because I want to make the most out of this blog post I'll link my endometriosis playlist which ha...
