Having Endometriosis can impact all area's of your life. I find it presents me with daily challenges. So, I'm going to share with you some of these challenges in the *hope* that I'm not alone! Hopefully it may also help those without a chronic illness to understand how such simple daily tasks can zap ALL of our energy or cause so much pain!
Daily Challenge 1: The Stairs
Having a bad day with Endometriosis and climbing the stairs. Mine don't seem to mix.. The staircase in my house only has 13 little steps. 13 footsteps to get from A to B. From downstairs to upstairs. Some people can run up them. Others can take them two steps at a time. For me, every step is a challenge... You know you have Endometriosis when you just about make it to the top of the stairs, (having to stop two or three times during the process!!) to crawl to your bedroom and collapse on your bed. Then, needing to take two Tramadols whilst stuck lying on the bed waiting for the enormous surge of pain in your stomach/lower back to pass. This was my challenge today!
