Nothing else we can do.. for now..

So for those of you who read yesterdays blog you'll know that the pain has been almost unbearable for the past 48 hours.. I had to ring in sick again this morning as I spent half the night getting up to re heat my wheat pack (Which did relieve some pain!) I felt horrible ringing in sick to work again, I'm not sure if everyone at work is aware of the situation or completely understands it, but as everyone knows.. I don't look sick! Besides the red baggy eyes, I look 100% fine! I often think to myself would I rather look sick? Maybe then people would understand the condition more if I looked as crap as I felt!!The hospital has received my admissions forms, so hopefully all systems go for next friday! I'm very nervous as to what they may find, but I am so over this disease at this point I'd rather them find something and remove it.. My tummy was very distended last night.. I did have a thought that possibly this all could be due to the extra hormone pills I have been put on over the last week.. I called my gp this afternoon and he quickly said that they would've had nothing to do with it. So I was back to square one. He recommended that I came in to see him.. So I went and saw him this afternoon and basically they're is nothing we can do for my pain I was already on prescription pain killers which weren't really helping.. He also felt my tummy and said basically all the medication I'm on is most likely making me constipated.. So if I am, and of course the endometriosis is either on the outside of the bowel or has invaded the bowel, it will be stretched and prodded.. So basically I shouldn't eat! hahaah! So I'm pretty miserable at the moment.. I'm honestly over this pain.. I have everything riding on friday, so heres hoping they find something!

Over it.

This is a truly private moment that needs to be shared with you all.
This is a face that is in so much pain it is hard to breathe. This is the face that I finally put on when it's all too much. It is one of those days where this disease is taking over my life. I had to call in sick because I got to mums school and bust out crying because of the amount of pain I was in. This is a disease that can not be controlled by pain killers.. I am over it.

Doesn't this look like fun??

Keeping up with the Kardashians..?

Everyone knows who the kardashians are, and I will be the first one to admit that I am basically obsessed with this tv show; now basically I've started watching Kourtney and Kim take Miami and anyone who watches tv or reads any type of media knows that Kim Kardashian is currently pregnant. Now in the last episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians season 7. You watch as Khloe and Kim go and see a fertility doctor.. I have loved Khloe for years, she is my favorite and she has been married for 3 years now I believe? I have watched as she has "possibly" miscarried, her ups and downs with her fertility issues and the fact that in 3 years she has not become pregnant.. Now Khloe isn't producing or releasing eggs I believe so she is going through her own fertility struggles, I feel for her..
But you suddenly I feel out of the blue you find out that Kim has her own fertility struggles??! Now I hear the doctor say that Kim's eggs are low and basically just needs to go off the pill due to being on it for many years..

Now this seems about right doesn't it? For anyone who has been on the pill your hormones are going to be very low. Now today watching the Kardashians, Kim is still talking about her fertility issues and "apparently" having the eggs of a 50 something year old. She goes on the whole episode that her chance to be a mother has been taken away. This makes me think.. now are Kim's issues with her fertility as bad as she has made them out to be? Is this show scripting an issue that hits home to us for ratings? Am I being too harsh? But from the time this episode was filmed and the fertility issues for Kim begun, it's only been maybe.. 4 months of her "trying" to get pregnant..

I'm sorry Kim, I'm generally a huge fan of your show.. But maybe Kris Humphries is right? If you've lied about your fertility..
What else have you lied about? Us woman actually have a struggle with fertility and I don't want you cashing in on something that isn't true to begin with.

We need a bit of laughter!

I thought these all some what applied to me! Have a laugh, I know I need it!















For the suffers <3

And this is why I am writing this blog <3

Fact or Myth?

I have borrowed these lovely pictures from The Endometriosis Awareness Campaign on Facebook; I think these are very important pictures for us to discuss what's a myth or what is fact!

So basically all these pictures are myths.. The only one that I can confirm is not entirely a myth is "Endometriosis is easy to diagnose since it causes severe monthly pain" this is a yes and no question since some women go their entire lives with no symptoms of pain until they're trying to conceive and they find out why!
Interesting isn't it??
