Diary of a Woman with Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a mysterious condition that commonly occurs in ovaries, it has no known causes, yet affects many women out there. Before its diagnosis, one could suffer terrible mentral cramps, after its diagnosis, terrible mood swings. This is my account of how endometriosis has affected MY life and how it is continuing to affect ME and those around me. How it has shaped my life and I hope to bring about the awareness of this condition as it affects more women out there then we know it.

Feeling the tag...

A week before my gynea's diagnosis of endometriosis, I had a wave of mood swing.

I had only a few moments of negative thoughts and it was enough to blind me to say nasty things to my husband. Thankfully, he is made a stronger man than anyone else I know. He assured me and threw my negative thoughts out of the window in a flash.

What shocked me was how quickly my mood was changed from happy to sad to disbelieving.

I could acknowledge and attribute them to hormonal changes in my body. But how many others can?

So women folk out there, if you have a sudden change of mind, thoughts, mood, take a deep breath, take a look at pictures of the loved ones whom you have doubts of to remind yourself that its just the hormonal changes that swings you.

Do not take any action which you may regret later on.

After the surgery, I felt completely lifted! I was in good mood and kept to good resting routine to recover. But when I had to take anti-hormonal injections after the op to further surppress the endometriosis condition, the mood tags came back....
