My Endo Diaries reaches 15,000 views!

Wow. I cannot believe my blog on Endometriosis has reached 15,000 views! I'm overwhelmed. Now I know some bloggers get hundreds and thousands of views and they are a lot more known, but for me to have 15,000 views means so much! Every person who has clicked on my posts I appreciate you so so much for taking the time to do it. 

When I was first diagnosed with Endometriosis I was at a bit of a loss. I joined twitter and set up this blog in order to reach out to people & try and spread awareness. Truthfully, I didn't expect many (if any!) people to read it. For me it was just a place to rant. What I didn't expect was the love, support and reassurance I received back from people reading my blog. It still amazes me now! Whenever someone messages me to say they can relate to my blog, that it feels like they are reading about themselves & are happy to know they are not alone in this makes me feel so honoured. It's even made me quite teary at times! People being able to relate to me also stops me from feeling so alone with this awful illness. Thank you all so much!

15,000 views on I think I've achieved what I set out to do. It goes to show how united us Endosisters are. We are not alone and together we will support each other in any ways we can. I'm so glad my blog has helped some of you.

I will continue to share my endometriosis diary with you. Here's to the next 15,000 views! :)

Endometriosis: Post op

Ok, so I thought I should update you all after my operation on Tuesday.  I have a lot of mixed emotions after the laparoscopy though and I promise to fill you all in soon. I'm sure many of you have felt the same way I'm feeling now so I will post in the near future about all the details. Sharing information is the best way to know we're not alone in this. But for the moment, I'm just getting my head around things and concentrating on recovery. UPDATED: Endometriosis was found in my ovaries as expected and removed. It was also found on my bowel, but it was left untreated. #MyEndoDiary ♡

A Day In The Life Of An Endo Girl - 16/04/13

Seeing as I've named my Blog 'My Endo Diary' I've decided to start this project, 'A Day In The Life Of An Endo Girl' to portray just a snippet of a day with Endometriosis. Women with Endo are not lazy. Some, such as myself suffer daily pain. Chronic pain. Sometimes mild, sometimes exhausting, sometimes severe. Small things hurt massively. What some people take for granted doing, can take all of my energy. Even down to doing the dishes or making food. Endo is unpredictable. Tomorrow may be a better day. It may be worse. If I look or sound OK one day it doesn't mean I'm better. I'm either hiding the pain from you (I've become quite good at this), having an 'up and down day' (explained below) or on the rare chance having a good day. Every day with Endo for me, is different. However at the moment, they all contain some sort of pain. So here's my first entry. 16/04/13                   5:45am Woken up by Endo pains, stabs in my hips

Endometriosis: 3rd Time Lucky?

August 25th. This will be the date of my next operation. My third. I have waited 12 months to get this date. Then, out of the blue, I receive a letter from the hospital. With only 12 days notice. In a way, that's good. Less time to stress. But for me, I'll stress no matter what. I'll just cram a year of waiting into 12 days of worry. I'm now down to 7 days. This time next week... Some people may think that knowing what will happen and how the day pans out etc, will be a benefit. A comfort perhaps. For me, it's the complete opposite. I know how emotional I will get. I know the feelings of panic, anxiousness and nervousness will build up. I know at certain points they'll peak and I'll break down. Just before I'm due to go down to theatre I'm guaranteed to start crying. The fear takes over and there's nothing I can do at that point but just trust the doctors and nurses. But that's normal I guess. Third time around, it will not be any
