I literally could have written this. I normally only share stuff like this on my blog, because it feels weird on FB, and I hate whiney health statuses, but if this post helps even just one person, I'm glad I shared it, and hopefully it can help get you a diagnosis of the "mysterious" endometriosis disease if any of these symptoms sound like you. After spending the last 10 months back and forth to the ER, my friends and family thinking I'm either 1. Nuts or 2. A hypochondriac, ... I finally have somewhat of an answer after my laparoscopy to the hell I've been through since October (yes through my back surgery even ???? )... # endometriosis . Ugh. PSA - endometriosis is awful. And so, so real. I'm sitting here writing this still recouping from surgery (and post-op infections that sent me back to the ???? ; thank God I'm home ???????? )

The daily abdominal pain in my lower right-side caused me to miss out on a ton of normal 20-something activities, but also caused my anxiety to spiral, and made my life shrink so small. I'm relieved to finally have an answer, but disappointed it's endo when there's such a lack of knowledge on it, and no real cure. I'll definitely be writing my own version of this blog post soon (because, ya know, writing is my therapy), but this one is spot. on. and a really good overview of the ridiculous health journey / chronic illness road a woman with endo experiences (like I have) garments to wear that looks sexy in the evening ???????? ????????
