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.

Not so exciting times

somehow the excitement of IVF has kinda diminished into the thin air.

What's left is the dread of daily jabs, one in the morning which I give to myself. One in the evening which the nurses will jab me with at my battocks.

These hormonal jabs are also bringing my body into a dis-equilibrium.... getting hot flushes, sleep-less-ness, easily agitated, mood swings, slight depression, mild anxieties and a sense that maybe it might not work.

Guess I'm burdening myself with too many unhappy thoughts. But I'm also feeling tired more then ever!!! I need lots of sleep!!

about 12hrs/day is good hahaha

One of the blood test indicates that I have high antibodies towards my own thyroid glands, which is not very good in many sense. Worse still, they found a tiny lump on the right side of my thyroid gland. Its too tiny now to for us to be worried about it. but its still not a good piece of news. As we cannot discount that slightly higher antibodies as a result of an overdose of seafood 2weeks before the blood test was taken... :(

am worried constantly
