Last Night

I should have come on here and posted this last night but totally forgot to do so, so I'm on here now making this blog post. I created this blog because I wanted to raise awareness for Endometriosis, give resources, and share education along with sharing my own personal journey/experience with this condition. So that's why I'm sharing this post today. 

Last night went pretty well when the pain came over me suddenly without warning, I was sitting on the couch watching a True Crime video on YouTube and doing some loom knitting which I hadn't done in months when all of a sudden I started to get pain at the same time on both sides of my pelvis that literally felt like someone took 2 knives and stabbed my pelvis continuously this pain lasted for probably 15 minutes and then went away.

But my first thought was "Oh no, am I going to have a flare-up tonight?" It literally felt like I was going to have a flare, I will never forget what it felt like at the onset and I know from past experience that if I start moving around, get upset, or allow my anxiety to go up it would always intensify and get worse so I focused on remaining calm, didn't allow my anxiety to take the best of me and continued to loom knit and watch the True Crime video and literally tried to think of something else luckily doing this my pain subsided after 15 min and a flare never happened. 

These are many of the symptoms people with endo deal with and it can come on suddenly. I remember in the past sometimes I'd even be walking to the kitchen and it would happen suddenly and almost violently to the point I would almost fall on the floor on my knees because of the strength of the pain and the fact it was so sudden. 

But I am thankful that the pain did go away and didn't intensify this time 💗

Vagina Problems Chapter 4 by Lara Parker

You can find the book listed under my “Resources” tab, it’s listed on my Amazon storefront! This book is so good so far!! Even though I don't like the amount of curse words she uses, I can relate to her on so many levels. Wanted to share this part of the book and man can I agree on this, especially in regards to social media!  "If it isn't people reminding me that my pain could be worse, so I should just suck it up and stop being a sad, angry girl; or minimizing my pain and telling me it's making me stronger; it's people thinking they can fix me. Living with a chronic illness is really like, I think it would be this: You are just trying to live your life and do the best you can, but you are constantly bombarded with people who truly believe they know what is best for your body. They, the people who are not living in your body, think they understand it better than you...THE PERSON IN THE BODY. And even though you never asked them for help or communicated that you wo...
