Christmas 2009 is when my life changed. I had always suffered extremely heavy and painful periods. But to me that was normal. I didn't realise then that was a symptom. I was able to manage it. Whether it was wearing two pads, scouring chemists or supermarkets for period pain relief, heat pads, painkillers, holisitc bracelets, taking days off school or spending days in bed. That was my normal.
But Christmas 2009 is when more symptoms started coming. Nothing I could put my finger on exactly at the time. I just I knew I didn't feel right. Especially my emotional health. I was so down. With hindsight it must of been changes of my hormone levels as hormones play such a big part in Endometriosis.
Looking back, I now know that was the start of the flare. February 2010, I started having stabbing pains in my stomach. I remember the 1st ever time it happened. I was doing normal things. I was actually walking across my landing to get to my bedroom. The pains shot across through my stomach so badly I ended up crippled over holding onto the staircase. It frightened the life out of me.
The next time it was Valentines day. I went to a concert with my friends to London. In the car on the way home I started to get those same shooting and stabbing pains. Trying to ignore and conceal them then was so hard. That's the point I knew something definitely wasn't right.
Fast forward to June of that year. This was the first time to experience the 'Endo belly'. The swollen stomach. I had gone away to London for the weekend with my family to celebrate my birthday. I had a lovely blue day dress that fitted me well. I have pictures of me in it with my stomach flat. Once home, pains had flared yet again. My mother took me to the doctors on a Wednesday morning. My stomach was 'normal'. By the Wednesday afternoon it had instantly swollen. With that same dress on, I looked 5 months pregnant. I remember asking my mother if my stomach looked swollen and both our reactions when we realised how big it went. That is a memory that sticks.
When was the first time you realised something wasn't right? That it wasn't normal to be in this pain? Can you remember your first big pain/flare up?
I would love for you to share. Thanks in advance.
#MyEndoDiary
For me I was in denial a really long time, I also wasn't in touch with my body. I had horrible pain down my lowerback and all through my right leg weeks out of the month, horrible constipation, often couldn't pass gas, and my periods were beyond unmanageable. I know it was a least like this for 2 years before I put the pieces together in my mind and recognized that something was wrong. It still took me another 9 months to get proper treatment and surgery.
ReplyDeleteBefore I found out I had endometriosis, I had been to several doctors by the time I was 18 and I would suggest that I had endometriosis because I had heavy and irregular bleeding and terrible pain but they said I was too young and that it was all in my head. I finally got diagnosed when my mother took me to a specialist doctor in India last year. I finally got medicine that would help me cope with it. Sometimes it's very hard but knowing that someone out there is going through it and putting a voice to it. It's very encouraging!
ReplyDeleteI am Shelley from Los Angeles,California, I want to testify on how i got cured from fibroid, I have suffered from fibroid since the 2011 with so mush pain,that i have to spend so mush money getting pain relief in the hospital, and I have visited several doctor ,but all to no avail, my world was gradually coming to an end because of the pain during my menstrual period until i saw a post in a health forum about a herbal Dr Williams who use herbal portion in curing people from different kind of diseases including fibroid, at first i doubted if it we be able to shrink the 9cm large fibroid in my womb, but i decided to give it a try, when i contacted this herbal doctor via his email, he prepared a herbal portion and sent it to me via courier service, when i received this herbal medicine, he gave me step by step instructions on how to apply it, when i applied it as instructed, i was completely free from fibroid just for 1 months of usage,i we recommend this to all my friend family in the world today who still suffering from fibroid you can contact him through his email on drwilliams098675@gmail.com for help.
ReplyDeleteMY NAME IS NITA.
ReplyDeleteDr Williams,herbal treatment is the best to shrink fibroid naturally.
Four months ago, I was scheduled an operation to remove a fairly large uterine fibroid (approx. 8 cm), which had caused me a great deal of pelvic pain and pressure on my bladder. My doctor insisted that there was no other choice but to go under the knife and I had reluctantly agreed (after trying several medications to decrease the size of the fibroid to no avail). It was approx. 2 months prior to the surgery when my husband comes across dr williams herbal remedies which my husband found and ordered for me online. With the help of my loving husband, I followed the step and procedure on how i should be taking it. and one months later I was scheduled for an ultrasound check: it was shocking. The fibroid had completely gone, I had consulted my doctor and cancelled the surgery and with your dedicated counseling guidance I managed to completely treat the fibroid from my uterus, along with the pain and anxiety that this condition had inflicted on me. Thank you so much for your kind help,any body with similar problem should contact him on his email address drwilliams098675@gmail.com his a good man
I GIVE THANKS TO DR WILLIAMS FOR GIVING ME LIFE.
ReplyDeleteHe helped me with a fast cure to fibroid and infertility,and the size of it was .7cm, Then I started taking the medication for only one month, and now am completely cured from it. I was able to make it without any surgery, now I can live like every normal human and I can eat any food of my choice If you need such help, contact him via mail on drwilliams098675@gmail.com for advice,i hope this also help some one out there.
Dear dr williams, your herb has saved my life and my sanity. I was scared, and had been seeing numerous specialists and almost all of the straight away told me I had to remove my uterus because of my large fibroid. Can you believe this? To top it all up, none of those doctors had answered my simple questions on the subject. I was so scared that I would not be able to have a baby as surgery seemed like the only choice then. Your product had dramatically allayed my fears. I have read many other guides on the subject of fibroids and i think dr williams herb is yours offers and the only true and lasting solution to fibroid. I am a walking living proof of that claim. It has been 3 months since I implemented dr williams herbal portion, and I am now completely clear of fibroids and I am sure I am on my way to become a mother. I also feel very healthy and vibrant. Thank god for your work and support dr williams, for more information about his herb you can also contact his email address drwilliams098675@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteAs a sign of gratitude for how my wife was saved from fibroid, i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
ReplyDeleteMy wife suffered from fibroid for more than 20 year of marriage after our first son and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because she was my all and the symptoms were terrible, she had irregular and painful menstrual flow and the size of it was 5cm, and she always complain of stomach pain. we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure her. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many other with similar body problem, and she left the contact of the doctor who had the natural cure to fibroid. I never imagined fibroid has a natural cure if not surgery not until i contacted him and he assured me my wife will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my wife used it as instructed by Dr Williams, and in one months time we went to the hospital for scan and the doctor confirmed that there is no trace of fibroid and now she is fully okay, even up till this moment she is so full of life. fibroid has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on drwilliams098675@gmail.com on how to get his medication.
