It's time again

It's Endometriosis Awarness Month.

I've been through many different treatments. I have gone through 3 surgeries to remove Endometriosis. I also have had the nerve that sends the Singal from uterus to the brain cut. That did not work. My pelvis is injured from the Life with Endometriosis. I have seemed therapy for years. I will have future surgeries for Removal of Endometriosis. I've also had Botox injections twice for hopes of pain relief. (Due to my now known case of Dysautonomia that's not an option.) I see top surgeons in the country who only specialize in pelvic pain. They have been true lifesavers! I suggest finding a pelvic pain specialist! They have a lot more resources and are so much more advanced them a typical gyn. (No joke these people changed my life for the better!)  The only option to "end this" would be to do a hysterectomy. I am 24. A lot of people think getting a hysterectomy is easy. It is not easy. In any circumstance. Especially at 24. I've had Endometriosis for ten years now. I'm not totally sure I believe hysterectomies are really a fix. Sure they help but is that really the best idea of a cure? Millions of females start this painful disease in their teens. I was 14, when my symptoms were unbareable. You can not have a hysterectomy until after a certain age. It's too dangerous. Teens shouldn't live with this mess of pain and symptoms. I don't see that as a treatment. The only other option is hormones. To regulate the bleeding. Women with Endo can bleed for months at a time. These horomones do not always fix that either.                

Today I picked up more "horror mones" aka horomones. To add to the ones I'm already on in hopes of future relief. I tend to do poorly on these and have a lot of side effects. Some unbelievable. I'm always nervous to start or try new ones. I mentioned after my last surgery in July that they found my uterus is enlarged and soft a clear indication it's full of Endometrosis. It's so enlarged it appears the early stages of pregnancy in size. (But it's simply just full of disease) On one note I now understand why ultrasound techs would be so mean to me when they ask the famous pregnancy question during ultrasounds to check for ovarian cysts... I always wondered why they were so harsh and glaring at me like I was lying? I was not lying... And I had these tests in high school and they were so much more calm. (Well that situation now makes sense) However they can't do anything about it... The only way to know for sure is to do a hysterectomy and send my uterus off to the lab. (One day that will be done) it's not dangerous nor does it effect pregnancy. But it does cause me pain.  Endo is no joke. It's painful. It grows on your organs. Yes my organs. Vital organs get covered in disease. It causes debilitating pain. The only way to remove the disease or manage it is to cut it out... In some cases that even means cutting out or removing pieces of organs such as the bowel. It's not just cramps. Learn the more @ http://www.endochallenge.com/2017 -Chelle
