A War with Endo:
The Battle Continues
My Mission with Endo
For the many years I've been trying to come to terms with this disease and all its troubles. There have been many nights where I, and many others, have laid in bed at night fighting the pain wondering why I was cursed with this horrible thing. Over time I have come to feel that there is a reason I was given endometriosis, and that is to help educate others about how this disease affects us all. Not just the women who suffer, but our loved ones, parents, children, employers, and all others whose lives we touch. Saying this, I have spent the last several years telling everyone I know about endo. Afterall, the more that know, the less we are treated like mental cases and the faster a cure can be found. And that is the goal, right? To find a cure so that one day our daughters, nieces and other women we love will never have to endure the pain of the beast we call Endometriosis. Until that day, I will continue fighting this battle one day at a time.
In many cases of endometriosis, it takes years to get a diagnosis. My story is no different in that aspect. Getting a name to my pain was only half the battle, and the next one seems to always be just around the corner. I have written of my battle with the beast to share my journey. There are victories and defeats, good days and bad as with all things in life. Click below to read my story.
Over the years researching endo on the internet for more treatment options, I have come across many different websites that have offered much more than I had hoped to find. Some offered support and understanding like only fellow sufferers can give. Others offered insight on the medical aspects of the disease and still others offered information on the alternative therapies available. I have complied a list of the sites that I have used many times in hopes that they will provide you with the same power to educate yourself in making the right decisions for your body. I have tried to sort them by the type of site and information offered to ease your searching some.
A War with Endo wouldn't be complete without its own message board, don't you think? Hopefully you will find in this board what so many of us need; comfort, support, understanding and loving Endo Sisters to listen to us when we need a good venting session. Please use this board to help yourself, your loved ones and the others posting here to deal with the daily battle of endo.
Me and my Angel, Pietro
