Endometriosis: A Life sentence!

Feeling very down today. I finally ate something yesterday after two weeks of not eating and I don’t feel better for it, there’s just so much pressure on my bowels and it’s so painful. Sitting up is a mission and my side also hurt.

I’m constantly in pain and it hit me yesterday I have a life sentence! Yes after my next surgery I may feel better but in two or three years time I most probably will be going through the same thing again and waiting the same amount of time to get it sorted.

I was so optimistic with my very first surgery, I looked back on a picture I took pre op which said “yes I will beat you!” but now I just feel like I’m fading.

Sorry just had to express my thoughts. All my hopes are resting on my next op, if I don’t have some relief I don’t know how I’ll cope.
