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.

50th Post here!

My my, what I thought would be a place where I vent out my frustrating "career" of trying to be a mother has became a place where quite a few passerby readers drop their list of websites and encouraging words. Thank You!

This is going to be the 2nd month where I'm going to try out TCM for my adenomyosis condition. I had wanted to go without pain killers for this cycle to see if there's going to be an increase in menstrual discomforts but too bad, I could not endure the discomforts enough to pull through the day. So I had to pop the pill.

Now I'm wondering if it is because of how my body is responding to the pill that is causing the adenomyosis condition! Because, about 6hrs after I pop the pill, the flow of menstrual blood simply slowed down! And this is supposed to be like the heaviest flow of the period! Strange don't you think?

There's so much to be understood about this condition, this body that I have and I'm learning to take care of it more and more.

For a person with great love for junk food, cold drinks (a liberty from my deprived childhood), snacks, instant noodles. The realization that I've not been taking good care of myself is a huge turn around. Although the changes are going to be tough, they are first need to be changed at the fundamental level. That is in my mind. I have to learn to mentally tell myself to eat more healthily, work out these muscles more too!

A healthy body = a happy body!

Happy thoughts always people... at least for as much as you can!
