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.

Insomania for 1 week

Yes, some days, I'm like a walking zombie, because I would simply lie in bed AWAKE!

I tried to go to bed later so that I can be really really tired before i go to bed, nope doesnt work.

I tried to go to bed earlier so that I can be asleep longer, doesnt work.

There are nights when I have a hard time falling asleep.

There are nights when I wake up in the middle of the night and takes 1-3hrs to fall back asleep by then, its almost time to WAKE UP!

There are nights when I get a combination of Both!

Last night was the worse, went to bed at 1am thinking that I would be super tired, but I was simply tossing and turning on the bed! Instead, I was up till about 3 or 4am before I finally drifted into sleep and then I woke up again! took me a while before I finally went to sleep but it was barely sufficient rest! So instead of taking bus/train to work, I had to catch a cab so that I can get an extra hr of rest on the bed.

*boo* *hoo* *hoo*

I'm hoping that this phenomena is not a result of my TCM attempt at reducing the "side-effects" of the anti-hormonal jab. Since I've been taking that med for 3weeks now. So I'm going to stop the chinese herbal med and see if I can sleep better for the next few days.

God Bless ME!
