22.01.2022 What a wonderful Xmas present for us endo sisters!! Keep the money coming please government
21.01.2022 The knock on effect from surgeries is something every woman needs to consider before going through surgeries. This is an interesting read for anyone who has had a Hysterectomy in the past and still suffering from pain.
18.01.2022 ********WARNING******** May contain triggers, please seek help if this post causes you any distress. I feel like it's time we have a chat about mental health.... Why don't we speak up? Why do we choose to suffer in silence? I have a few theories and I'd love to know your thoughts on this too. 1- We don't want to seem weak. Is it that we have portrayed ourselves in such a way that we can't bear to let people see us in any other way than as strong human beings? 2- We don't want to ask for help. Is it that we do not want to bother other people? Do we feel like we are honestly that much of a burden by simply saying "Hey, I need a hand, I'm feeling pretty shit." 3- We don't want people to feel sorry for us. I get it, we don't want people's pity. Deep down we want your help and support but it's hard to decipher pity from support, and when you're in a shitty place mentally, it's easy to take the defensive position. 4- We don't want people to know our business. We want everyone's help, but we don't want anyone to know. So how is that supposed to work? We're scared of losing our privacy in our quest for support. 5- We're afraid of what people will think of us. Are they judging us? Are they telling people about our life and our problems? Are they hiding important things from us because they think we can't handle it? Do they think all of a sudden that we're going to start twitching and rocking in the corner in the foetal position? One thing I find funny, well not so much as funny as interesting is that a lot of people are happy to speak out when they've come out the other end. Now don't get me wrong, this is still a great thing as it creates awareness and gives someone currently in the depths of the suffering-in-silence phase a sense of "I'm not the only one." So, why? Why don't we speak up when we need help and not just at the end when we've conquered the black dog? You may notice throughout this blog I make reference to I, us and we. That's because I'm in the thick of it myself. That's right, I'm doing what we seem to struggle doing and putting my hand up to say I'm going through a fair bit of shit now. Well, actually it's been nearly 6 months of hell. Head to the website to read the rest of my story!!
16.01.2022 "What will my partner think when I continually decline any offer of a shag because that space is currently occupied by a large carving knife continually being jammed in and out. Or because for once I’m actually pain-free and the thought of being kicked in the gut by a horse repeatedly for the next 24hrs just because I wanted an afternoon delight doesn’t exactly light my fire." Check out the website to see why I created this blog!
14.01.2022 Wouldn't this be amazing!!!!!
12.01.2022 Can any one spare some time to complete this survey?
10.01.2022 You know what they say, men are from Mars, women are from Venus. Check out this blog on how I communicate with men...the honest way!! Imagine if I grabbed your jatz crackers, pulled them down to your knee’s (this is generally where the colour drained from their faces), twisted them around and around until they couldn’t spin any further, then just as I let them go, I belted you in the tackle box with a cricket bat.
09.01.2022 My heart breaks knowing she went through this however it makes me so happy that she's gone public and more awareness is bought to this disease.
06.01.2022 After my last post about mental health, I had so many colleagues message me saying either "I had no idea, what can I do to help" or "thanks for speaking up, I've been struggling too" and it made it with while. It's not easy speaking up, especially in such a public way. Wondering if people will just tonight's you're attention seeking or being a sook. But as this video points out, everyone has a breaking point, it may not be "the big one" that breaks you, it may be the Nanna saying goodbye to her husband of 70 years in front of you, it may be simply because the patient is the same age someone you know, or it may be something so traumatic that you do indeed "Wish your head could forget what your eyes have seen." Speak up!!!!
05.01.2022 Girls/ladies.... I've had 4 surgeries to remove endometriosis. I've had 2 surgeries to fix issues that are a result of my endometriosis surgeries.... I have the Mirena in so I don't have a period. I've had 3 gynaecologist's. Yet here we are. Just a random day, looking 4 months pregnant, feeling like my uterus is going to fall out and my fallopian tubes are getting a Chinese burn. Don't be naive and listen to the generic answers you get from uneducated people and doctors! Know your body and speak up!! This isn't normal!!
05.01.2022 34,000 endometriosis-related hospitalisations in 2016-17. How on earth is there not more funding for research into this disease!!
03.01.2022 NEW BLOG IS UP!! At the end of the day, Endometriosis could be the best case scenario for a female with a painful pelvis, bloating, abnormal bleeding, back pain, and all the other wonderful symptoms that a lot of women consider "normal".
02.01.2022 The old 'I'd rather shit in my hands and clap than have sex' discussion started. I said to her "If by some miracle it doesn't hurt at the time, I sure as shit pay for it for the next three days". Albeit at the expense of my private life and dignity, by me making this one comment, she knew she wasn't alone.
