After being diagnosed with ENDO 7 1/2 weeks ago through laparoscopy, I started Googling. Googling to find answers. Answers on how to live with ENDO, cope day to day and most importantly how to deal with the chronic pain and have pain free sex!
Because letâs be honest I already Dr. Googled diagnosed myself a very long time ago with a whole big buffet breakfast variety of diseases to see what the great Dr. Google had to offer, coinciding with my symptoms of course!Â
But, nothing was coming up! Seriously? Not only was I re-cooperating with a traumatic post-op*
 * Please note sarcasm, only traumatic thing I was going through was trying to get the gas out of me and walking around like a baby tyrannosaurus who burped 24/7Â
âŚbut my one trusted confidant GOOGLE** had NO answers for me. Â
**GOOGLE is clearly the Mecca of quick satisfying and reassuring ANSWERS!Â
So this was all very distressing especially when looped out on pain meds.
I wanted to create a blog, which isnât afraid in sharing the intimate, raw and uncensored details and challenges I have and will experience with ENDO.
But to also find the humour within this chronic disease. Because all you really have at the end of the day is trying to keep yourself sane and trying to find the humour within this chronic and excruciatingly painful disease.Â
If by writing this blog, a girl who is Googling the How Toâs of ENDO comes across it and finds a safety net within and in someway I can educate/empower her with how to deal with life and ENDO.then Iâm definitely a happy camper with that!  Â
I also want to raise awareness for this incurable and insufferable disease so no other Gal doesnât have to endure what I endured/ will endure for the rest of my life (fingers crossed thereâs a miracle, called Zoladex which Iâm currently having on a monthly basis).
Because for me, it wasnât, unfortunately, until my âhypochondriacâ symptoms turned for the worst at the start of this year. And I wouldâve appreciated a blog like this.
If I knew what I knew, back five years ago when I started to ask Drâs to investigate my range of health issues, or what we say ENDO issues. I wouldâve persevered and wouldâve gotten this surgery/diagnosis a whole lot sooner!
Endo Gal is a blog not afraid to get into the nitty gritty of life with ENDO, and what itâs like having to re-evaluate your life you havenât even started yet at 20!Â
