Pop Goes The Feasible

Before my diagnosis in 2010, I blogged about my "taboo" "bad periods" and how my life was affected by them. Surgery finally happened and, after ears of almost begging for help, I was told what I'd tried to tell the doctors so often - I have endometriosis. Now, two years later, it's got worse and I have to take painkillers every day. I try to educated people, friends and strangers alike, about this hidden disease, and how depression makes me feel, as well as the codeine dependency I picked up along the way. I write honestly and vividly about the sometimes not-pleasant details of my endometriosis and periods, and the terror I feel at my own body hurting so badly that I can not breathe. I know I've helped people gain understanding and knowledge about this frightening illness, and that pleases me so very much.
