Endometriosis sucks!

You’re Not Alone: My Endometriosis Journey

Three years ago, I was diagnosed with endometriosis — and honestly, it sucked.I had horrible periods and no idea what was happening to my body. Even making love hurt, but no one took me seriously. I kept going back to the same doctor, and they didn’t really listen. They only looked at my Pap test results and told me everything was “normal.”

I was exhausted. One day, I told my sister I was done with that doctor. She recommended I see hers instead. This new doctor actually listened to me. I told her everything that was going on, and she sent me for an ultrasound.

That’s when I finally found out: I had endometriosis, fibroids, and cysts on both of my ovaries. No wonder I was in so much pain.

I was put on birth control for a year, thinking it would help. It eased some of the pain, but the cysts just kept getting bigger — and the pain got worse.

Finally, in November 2024, I had surgery to remove the cysts and some of the endometriosis tissue. The recovery hasn’t been easy, but I’m doing so much better than before. I still get pain now and then, but nothing like what I used to live with.

I still have fibroids to remove, but they’re small and not painful yet. I'm just taking it one day at a time.

To anyone going through something similar: you’re not alone. I see you. I feel you. And I’m praying for your healing just like I continue to pray for mine. With God’s help, I know I’m getting stronger every day. 💛💞💪🏾
