So, just as I never knew so much about miscarriages and D and C's, I never knew so many women had endometriosis until I found out I was one of them. In fact, I'd never even heard of it before. So many women suffering in silence. We feel so alone sometimes, if only there was an easy way to know that there are others out there feeling the same way.
Here is my announcement: I have endometriosis. It is painful and frustrating and lonely. It is ever present, reaccuring, a constent reminder.
But...I have a name for what I have now. And with a name comes choices, friends, and sometimes hope. I must admit, I don't have this condition as badly as some others I know. But, I can still feel some of what they must feel. I can still be there.
You never know who has felt the burden you are feeling. You never know who is also feeling it at this moment. You are not alone.
"Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me." 1 Nephi 21:16 Book of Mormon - and Isaiah 49:16 Bible KJV
