Welcome to the wonderful world of blogging..

So here goes my first post.... 
Well I have to admit that during my set up last night my computer decided it had worked too hard and shut down on me 😡 Not the best timing!! So I'm working on getting it sorted until then I have limited access on smart phones and tablets. 
It's been a hard week... After having my second operation a month ago I have been left in a dark place. This has not had a great impact on my work and I'm suffering the fall out at the moment but the suns out and this makes me positive and happy!! The moment I knew that the pain I had been living wasn't in my head but was a life changing condition, I decided that I wasn't going to let it win.... I don't loose and I won't loose to endometriosis!! I will fight it every step it takes!
Keep looking for that sunshine and have a wonderful day ☀️

Be Proud, Be Strong and remember its ok to talk. Period.

Its been a busy weekend for me! I was lucky this time and my plans weren't effected by my endo.  So many times I have made plans weeks in advance and I have had to cancel them because my pain or period has been so bad I couldn't move or didn't have the energy to think about moving or leaving the house. I get so angry with my body when I have to break plans or cancel events I have been waiting months for. As I work a busy 40+ hour week I get very tired and my days off tend to be days of relaxation and recuperation.  This weekend I spent with friends chilling out on friday evening and going to Cardiff to watch The Stereophonics perform on Saturday. It was an awesome couple of days but I was so tired and drained today I spent most of it in bed asleep. If I hadn't caught up today I would have been useless tomorrow. What would be an average weekend for most people has left me completely shattered and in agony. All day I have bee...

When you are caught completely off guard!

Driving home singing along to the radio in the sunshine, enjoying the early finish and the chance to get home and have some fun. Then completely out of the blue, a pain unlike any other shoots right through me. A sharp pain that hits me deep inside. All of a sudden I have tears in my eyes and my legs won't stop shaking. I am less than 2 miles away from my house but I am so worried I won't make it there. I am stuck in traffic which means I have to clutch control when all I want to do is curl up in a ball with a hot water bottle and a ton of codeine in my system.  So I have a multiple choice option: 1. I pull over and wait for the pain to ease. Better to be safe than sorry. 2. Push through the pain and get home as fast as the traffic will allow me. 3. Pull over and call my Dad to come pick me up while crying down the phone. Option 3 is a no go as I know he will be out and unable to collect me. So do I pull over and wait for the pain to ease, which based on my histo...

Meaningful words

I saw this link on my Facebook feed and it struck a chord within the first few words. Over the past few years since I had it confirmed that I had endometriosis, I have read many blogs, links, posts and medical journals. All of them have given me more meaning, knowledge, strength but only a few have brought me to tears. This one definitely did!  The post isn't aimed at women with endometriosis however, reading the first description I could hear my voice speaking the words. I felt the pain as if it were my own emotions poured out on to the virtual page. My breath caught on the words as she describes how she cries because she has an empty space in her body, how her medication she has to take stops her from falling pregnant. It spoke to me in a very personal way. I then went on to read the rest and surprisingly I started to understand how many other women who have been blessed with children may not have as full a life I believed they must! I started to see that...
