Life Update Part 1

Welcome to a series of updates about my day to day life dealing with endometriosis. I’m so glad you are here and hopefully don’t feel alone in your journey.

So far this month I have turned 23, gone to more doctors than I can count. Had strep get into my chest, sent me to the ER, and made me miss a full week of work. 

That was all after a beautiful vacation in Mexico where I was just blessed to be in the presence of God's creation. 

Mix in there more prescriptions, having to hunt down my medication because they gave it to someone that wasn’t me.  Which means I’ve been off estrogen for almost a month. 

Talk about some damn hot flashes! Plus in summer time is bull crap! 

I am having to go see an endocrinologist to see why my body doesn’t seem to rid my body of things it should. I then have to go to a surgeon to see if I have to get my gallbladder out. I am trying to plan out my next surgery for my endometriosis to get that and adhesions removed. They want to try to transplant umbilical tissue to see if that helps heal the areas where adhesions seem to grow. 

I am also getting seen by a specialist to see if I have endometriosis in my chest cavity which can be why I get chest pains and it can get so inflamed. 

I am on a quest to see if I have fybro as my momma has that. I have started to experience symptoms. Dealing with chronic fatigue syndrome makes all of this so incredibly difficult as I barely get out of bed. It’s hard enough these days to get through work. 

I feel as though I am just getting worse these days. I miss the good days. I know they will come again. Right now I am just trying to stay afloat.
