I mean… who doesn’t love a nap? I’m tired from the moment I wake up, until I go to bed, it’s like a constant repeating loop I can’t seem to break. Who else can relate?

No… Endometriosis is NOT just a bad period, let me explain why ⬇️ 💛It’s living with chronic pain even when I don’t have a period. 💛It’s bleeding/spotting in between cycles. 💛It’s not being able to do any of the things you enjoy as your in too much pain. 💛It’s relentless pain/spasms/cramp going down my legs. 💛It’s having constant bloating and looking pregnant (even though that’s the hardest part of the illness, looking pregnant, knowing my body can’t cope with pregnancies and having miscarriages). 💛It’s heartbreaking that I will never carry a child naturally. 💛It’s constantly having to change plans as you don’t know how you’re going to feel from one day to the next. 💛It’s the mood swings from constantly having medication/contraception changed and hormones flying around everywhere. 💛It’s continually having to fight to be seen by doctors, nurses and gynaecologists. 💛Being gaslighted is the worst, being told there isn’t anything wrong with me, when I know my own body better than anyone else. 💛It’s wanting to sleep/rest all day because my body is literally ready to give up. 💛It’s trying all different heat pads, hot water bottles and medication, but nothing else takes the pain away. 💛It’s telling everyone I’m okay, but deep down, I feel like your a crumbling mess. 💛It’s screaming and crying behind closed doors because I’m living in a body that is trying to destroy me from the inside. Living with that daily affects me physically, mentally and emotionally. So, no, Endometriosis is NOT just a bad period with a bit of pain… it’s a never ending list of symptoms that changes our lives. Even though it feels like you’re alone, let me tell you, you aren’t. We are building an amazing community, it’s the worst club, but with the best people that offer so much support. We are trying to raise awareness and spread the word about Endometriosis, educate those that know very little about the daily struggles we take.

There isn’t a cure for Endometriosis. 💛Surgery isn’t a cure. 💛Lasering isn’t a cure. 💛Pregnancy isn’t a cure. 💛Hysterectomy isn’t a cure. 💛Menopause isn’t a cure. 💛Birth control isn’t a cure. 💛Dietary change isn’t a cure. Some days can be manageable with medication, other days can be unbearable. Sometimes my flare ups can last days, even weeks. There are days when : 💛I don’t want to do anything, I just want to curl up on the sofa with a hot water bottle and sleep. 💛I don’t want to eat, even though I know I need to, my stomach can be so swollen, eating can make me worse. 💛I don’t want to interact with anyone (which is really hard when you’re a hairdresser). 💛I don’t want pity or sympathy. I want people to understand, I want people to be educated on what we have to go through on a daily basis. 💛I just want the pain to stop, I want the old me back, I want to feel confident, I don’t want to feel anxious all the time. 💛Where I just think, why me? Why us? Why can’t they find a cure? Why do we have to be in so much pain? Just pain itself can be exhausting, let alone knowing you have to live with a chronic illness for the rest of your life.

1 YEAR POST OP!! Where has the time gone? I really can’t believe it, a year ago today, I was arriving home around 9pm after my surgery just before 10am. I remember the first thing I asked in recovery was ‘what’s the time’ as I wanted to try and gauge how long my surgery had taken. I can’t believe my surgery was almost 3 hours long. As we’re all aware, there isn’t a cure for endometriosis, in most cases, multiple surgeries are needed. I won’t lie… I still have my bad days, more than I thought I would. Since my surgery last year, I’ve been diagnosed with multiple chronic illnesses. 3 months after my operation, I was referred back to gynaecology due to still being in constant pain with reoccurring symptoms, to this day, I’ve still not been seen or contacted via the hospital. With my first laparoscopy being 10 years prior, medically gas lit by multiple doctors and practically begging for surgery, I was so scared the wouldn’t find anything, but they did : 💛Right ovary attached to my pelvic side wall. 💛Right ovary had adhesions. 💛Bowel attached to my left ovary and fallopian tube. 💛Bowel had adhesions. 💛Left ovary and fallopian tube had adhesions. 💛Adhesions also found on liver. 💛Enlarged uterus (Adenomyosis). All I remember feeling is relief, I had to fight so hard to be seen by a doctor, referred to gynaecology, and I was eventually taken seriously. Now, to wait for a date for my next appointment 🤞. My pain was real, my symptoms were real, my fight was real 💛 #endo #endometriosis #endogram #endoawareness #pcos #pcosawareness #ibs #ibsawareness #ibd #ibdawareness #anxiety #depression #mentalhealth #fibromyalgia #BAM #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #invisibleillness #chronicillness #womenshealth #womensupportingwomen #instagram #instagood #instalike #insta #instadaily #instamood #blog #blogger

Burning ourselves for some sort of relief is NOT NORMAL. Here are some of the comments I’ve had said to me when trying to explain what it’s like living day to day with a chronic illness : 💛”It can’t be as painful as you’re making out!” 💛”You can’t let it control your life!” 💛”It’s all in your head!” 💛”You seemed ok yesterday!” 💛”Why are you at work if you’re in pain?” 💛”Why are you always so tired?” 💛”We all have bad periods!” 💛”Just make a doctors appointment!” 💛”Can’t you just ask for another operation?” If only some of these were simple. Sometimes I don’t even give a response to these types of statements. If only people knew what it was like to have to battle with your own body on a day to day basis. It’s a harsh truth, but I always said I would be honest with what I write. More awareness needs to be made, let’s put an end to the stigma.

If you can’t accept me at worst, you don’t deserve me at my best! This is Endometriosis, it effects 1 in 10 women in the UK and the average diagnosis can take up to 8 years. Endometriosis is invisible to the human eye, but let me tell you, it’s hard living in a body that’s trying to destroy you from the inside. I’ve been diagnosed with multiple illnesses over the years, and sometimes, it can make you feel so lonely. Please remember, everyone is allowed to have off days. Life isn’t always perfect, we can’t always be perfect, there isn’t a right or wrong way of how things need to be done. I’ve learnt it’s ok : 💛If I need to take rest days and don’t do anything. 💛If I need to take daily medication. 💛If I need to ask for help, we all need support. 💛If I’m feeling low, down, sad… we can’t be positive all the time, it would be mentally draining and exhausting. 💛To cry, showing emotion is nothing to feel embarrassed or ashamed about. 💛If I need to cancel plans, I’m entitled to change my mind. 💛To feel angry, hurt, upset… I have constant days where I think, why me? I’ve also learnt to never feel ashamed : 💛With the changes to my body, embrace the changes. 💛For weight gain/weight loss. 💛About having to take medication, they are there for a reason. 💛About asking for help, those closest to me will always help and be understanding. 💛If I have to cancel plans last minute, I need to listen to my body. 💛If I’m struggling with my mental health, we have so much to deal with on a daily basis. 💛For rest days or staying in my pjs all day, I love those days, especially after a long week at work. 💛If I’m not able to work. Our illness can be so debilitating. 💛For not getting better, take things day by day. Start putting yourself and your health first, physically, emotionally and mentally. If people can’t accept you at your worst, they don’t deserve you at your best. #endo #endometriosis #endoawareness #endometriosisawareness #endogram #pcos #pcosawareness #fibro #fibromyalgia #fibromyalgiaawareness #ibs #ibsawareness #ibd #ibdawareness #anxiety #depression #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthblogger #chronicillness #invisibleillness

Say hello to my (not so) little friend. I have NOT missed you! I’ve struggled a lot over the last few days, I’ve been under a lot of stress. The main symptom of Endo Belly is severe bloating and can cause discomfort and pain, but its exact cause is unknown. This is the harsh reality of what I deal with on a regular basis, not just during my menstral/ovulation cycle. For me, Endo Belly causes severe discomfort, pain and pressure, always hard to touch and extremely tight similar to being pregnant. Sometimes this may only last for a few days, but can also linger for several weeks. It’s mentally, physically and emotionally draining. As women, we know our own bodies, we shouldn’t have to fight so hard to be heard be professionals, to be seen be a doctor/consultant… more awareness needs to be made for Endometriosis. #endo #endometriosis #endobelly #endoflare #endocommunity #endosurgeon #endosurgeryrecovery #endosisters #endostrong #endowarrior #endogram #endoawareness #endometriosisawareness #period #menstrualcycle #periodproblems #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #insta #instagram #instadaily #instamood #blog #blogger

Having which feels like never ending lists of chronic illnesses (added to what you’re already going through) can be so overwhelming… Chronic illnesses aren’t only diagnosed when you’re ‘old’, I always get people saying ‘you’re too young to have all these health problems’. But age simply doesn’t come into it, no one is too young to be sick or in pain, age doesn’t define your health. We aren’t lucky enough to have ‘get out of illness free’ cards (if only they did have them). I love how we all stick together, support each other and advocate on a daily basis, not only for ourselves, but for others in the same situation.

If the pain is debilitating, it’s NOT normal. If it’s making you miss school, work, social events, it’s NOT normal. Don’t settle for “every woman goes through it” or “it’s normal”. Period pain is common but NOT normal & it shouldn’t be normalized!

Endometriosis is one of the top 20 most painful conditions and can take up to 8 years to get a diagnosis. This is a statistic given by the NHS, yet we have to fight so hard on a daily basis to be seen or heard. I understand the NHS is completely overwhelmed with the rising cases in gynaecology, hence so many women are being told to go private, but that isn’t an option for a lot of us. Being seen by a private consultant, having scans, tests and potentially surgery can end up being extremely expensive and if you’ve already been diagnosed, no private health insurance will cover you. So we have no choice but to wait on the NHS waiting list. Over the years, I’ve also been medically gaslit (I’m pretty sure we’ve all been here in one way or another). Here’s many comments I’ve been told by my previous GP : 💛It’s all in your head. 💛It’s not as bad as you’re making out. 💛Period pain is normal. 💛You must have a low pain threshold. 💛Having a baby will stop your symptoms. 💛Changing contraception was stop your symptoms. 💛Stress can cause many symptoms. 💛Hormones are extremely difficult to manage. 💛You will just grow out of it. Push for what you believe in, fight to be heard, listened too. We have no choice but to advocate for ourselves. Let’s end the stigma and speak out more about chronic illnesses/conditions, not just to educate others but so we can find people in the same situation as ourselves to offer support. I’ve also been so lucky to connect with such lovely people, I’ve felt quite lonely at times, but being about to talk to others and share stories has been amazing.

Some days I find life really hard. I find the simplest of tasks the hardest struggle. 💛I don’t want to get out of bed. 💛I dont want to get dressed. 💛I don’t want to eat. 💛I don’t want to go to work. 💛I don’t want to talk to people or socialise.... Here’s some examples of what I say VS what I mean on a daily basis : 💛I’m tired ➡️ I’m blood exhausted. 💛I’m ok ➡️ I’m not great, but plodding along. 💛I’m fine ➡️ I’m coping, just!! 💛I’m not feeling great ➡️ I’m having a flare up, I feel like a s**t, feel like I’m sinking/drowning, I’m ready to give up. What you don’t see is : 💛Me crying when I’m in pain. 💛Curling up with my hot water bottle. 💛Hot water bottle burns over my stomach. 💛Standing/sitting for so long in a biting hot shower to help try and take the pain away. 💛In agony from constant pains down my thighs and legs. 💛Daily tablets I take to make it through the day. 💛Never ending endo belly, I get so swollen by the end of the day, it hurts so much. 💛Struggling with clothes, I can’t tell you the last time I wore jeans, I’m constantly living in leggings and over sized jumpers/T-shirts so my stomach can expand. 💛Constant headaches, sometimes leading onto migraines. I have no choice, I have to sleep them off. 💛Tiredness, I’ve honestly never felt anything like. I’m exhausted all the time, I wake up tired, I’m tired throughout the day, I struggle staying awake in the evenings. Yet I go to bed and can’t sleep most nights. I have many flaws and faults myself, but I’m trying to be the best person I can be and focus on my future goals and ambitions... making more memories, making a conscious effort to talk and interact more. So just remember, no one is perfect, don’t feel you have to justify yourself, those that matter to you will never judge you, those that do never truly mattered at all.

The most vulnerable thing I’ve ever shared, but it’s so freaking important. In my 8 years of researching endometriosis, I’ve NEVER EVER seen a photo of an overweight patient who received laparoscopy excision surgery. SO here is my very swollen and painful, post-op belly. Fat people exist, and our pain matters too. If you’re overweight and experiencing debilitating pain, please push on. We know our bodies, and we know when something is wrong. The right doctor will believe you no matter your BMI. #bodyliberation #fat #endowarrior🎗 #endosurgery #endogram #endoawareness #plussize #endo #chronicillness

Nëse keni këto simptoma çdo ditë diçka nuk shkon. Mund të jenë nga Endometrioza? Po Të gjitha këto kanë bazë inflamatore dhe hormonale? Shumicën e kohës po. A shërohen? Po Duan vullnet? PO Është koha të kuptoni trupin tuaj, të kërkoni ndihmë, Ta mbështesni dhe të optimizoni gjithë shëndetin tuaj! Nëse dikush do të me kishte treguar prej fillimit se mbajtja në kontroll e inflamacionit balancimi i hormoneve, dieta e shëndetshme aktiviteti fizik, suplementet e duhura do të më ndihmonin të menaxhoja dhimbjen dhe Jo vetem, do ti isha mirënjohëse gjithë jetën! Mu desh të takoja shumë profesionistë dhe të mblidhja copëza, por jam e lumtur që më në fund kam kontroll mbi shumicën e gjërave që varen nga UNË. Nisja sot , gurë gurë bëhet kalaja 🧡

Me ose pa dhimbje, beqare, e martuar, në një marrëdhënie, sapo të ketë filluar cikli, në menopauzë, me ose pa fëmijë, para ose pas operacionit, para ose pas in-vitro-s, në të 15-tat, të 30-tat apo edhe të 50-tat, dhimbja e menstruacioneve nuk është normale; të jetuarit me dhimbje nuk mund të kthehet në normalitet. Vizitat në urgjencë nuk janë zgjedhje personale tonat sado të shpeshta ose jo qofshin ato; ne nuk kemi dëshirë të jemi "të sëmura gjithmonë". Ne nuk zgjedhim të zgjohemi "të lodhura" çdo mëngjes. Dhimbja dhe situata jonë nuk duhet të merret si e mirëqenë dhe askush nuk mund të gjykojë gjendjen në të cilën jemi. Nga ana tjetër e medaljes, ne jemi personat e vetëm që duhet të kujdesemi çdo ditë për trupin tonë, duke e dëgjuar, kuptuar, mbështetur, vendosur kufij dhe duke thënë "Jo". Duke filluar me ndryshime të vogla çdo ditë nga ushqimi, gjumi, aktiviteti fizik, shtesat dhe suplementet, menaxhimi i stresit. Ndajeni këtë post me dikë që ka nevojë të kuptohet dhe dëgjohet. Na tregoni në komente çfarë fytyre ka endometrioza tek ju. Paçi dritë në udhëtimin tuaj.🧡

Finding out I had stage 4 Endometriosis after my first laparoscopy was a mix of emotions. At first, relief flooded over me - finally, an answer to the pain I’d been enduring. But soon after, guilt crept in. How could I be happy about such a debilitating illness? As I delved deeper into understanding Endometriosis, I realised it was okay to feel relieved. It meant my pain was validated, and I wasn’t imagining it. Despite the uphill battle that comes with a diagnosis, knowing the truth was the first step in my journey 💛 #endo #endowarrior #endoaus #deepinfiltratingendometriosis #endogram #endostrong🎗 #endobelly #endoresearch #endostrong #endometriosis #chronicpainwarrior #chronicillnessawareness #chronicpainisnotnice #chronicillnessessuck #chronicillnessquotes #chronicilness #chronicillnesssupport #chronicillnessproblems #chronicillnessfighter #chronicpainisnotnice #chronicpainmanagement #chronicpainwarrior #spoonie #spoonielife #spooniesupport #spooniewarrior #spooniecommunity #spoonieproblems #spoonies #spoonielove

Laparoscopic surgery (also known as a laparoscopy) is an operation carried out under general anaesthetic, where a telescope is inserted into the abdomen. During this procedure, it can just be an diagnostic laparoscopy or they may be able to remove some of the endometriosis found if it’s not too deep or too far spread, if this is the case, another surgery will be necessary. During your laparoscopy, small incisions are made in the abdomen (usually in your belly button, bikini line and to the left/right of your abdomen) and carbon dioxide is used to fill/pump your stomach so the laparoscope can be inserted. This procedure can be performed for many reasons : 💛to confirm Endometriosis. 💛to identify the progression of Endometriosis. 💛to remove Endometriosis. 💛to remove ovarian cysts. 💛to remove adhesions caused by Endometriosis. 💛to unstick organs caused by adhesions. 💛to improve fertility chances. It grates on me when people comment ‘it’s not major surgery’ but it is. It may not be as severe as some surgeries, but it’s still an operation, still having anaesthetic and still have recovery to take into account. Let’s raise awareness and spread the word, knowledge is power. Let’s end the stigma.
