In June 2011 I was finally diagnosed with Endometriosis. It has only taken 24years to be diagnosed after several misdiagnosis by GP’s, being shunned by health professionals for years expressing that what I was feeling and suffering month after month was in my head. Now I know what I am dealing with, my life has turned up side down, but its a journey and for me and my partner an interesting difficult journey, one we want to share like many other Endo sufferers. The only way to know about this disease is to talk about it and if I help one person to be diagnosed early then it is worth it.

Saw the consultant on Tuesday! He is the regional/national endo specialist and I am going for my 4th endo surgery before Christmas. It is called an extended laparoscopy which basically means I will be having a laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, cystoscopy and dye all in one go. He also cuts out the endometriosis bullets instead of burning them! 60%report improved pain and his outcomes are good! I am feeling the most positive I have felt in months! Will keep you updated! Thanks again for this page as I feel I can use it to share some of the burden that is Endometriosis! 🙂
