~Endometriosis Warrior ~

Hey Guys! Welcome to my Blog! I am thrilled to be using different platforms to share my Story and Raise Awareness for Endometriosis. 1 in 10 women have it and yet there are close to no real treatments for it. Most doctors don't know the extent of it or they won't acknowledge it as being a chronic illness. We deserve more.

I Am Worthy

I am beautiful. I am worthy. I am strong. I am capable. I am smart. I am loving. I am compassionate. I am focused. I am breathing. I am mentally happy and strong. I am ME. When I became sick, I felt like I lost everything. I watched my social life disappear. I wasn’t able to do the things I was passionate about anymore. I was put on different medications that ultimately led to me dropping out of…

Endometriosis - We Deserve More

Endometriosis – We Deserve More

Anyone dealing with a chronic illness shouldn’t be afraid to go to the emergency room. We shouldn’t dread doctors appointments. We shouldn’t associate doctors under the category of “hopeless” in our lives. But we do and it’s disheartening. 1 in 10 women suffer from endometriosis yet it is poorly understood by doctors. Often we are told endometriosis isn’t common, it’s not that bad, if we take…

Endometriosis - The Struggle Is Real

Endometriosis – The Struggle Is Real

I share my body with a invisible chronic illness. It moved in and occupied my insides and i have no say in it. No matter what I do, i can’t beat it. Surgeries, birth controls, diets… those things may tame it. Pain medicine, heating pads, ice packs… those things may dull the pain. BUT it will always come back. It’s always looking over my shoulder. It can take away a great day in a second and it…

lol when endometriosis and other reproductive diseases are only taken seriously when they cause infertility because we live in a society that only cares about women’s health when it comes to being able to pop out a baby and not the debilitating pain these women endure everyday

Sympathy is only for the able.

People only care that you are sick as long as you are going to get better. Once they find out it is a forever thing, their sympathy suddenly has an expiration date.

Going on Day 4 of Agony...

I’m in so much pain, i feel like losing hope sometimes. I try so hard to remain positive and hold onto the hope that hopefully someday I won’t have to live everyday in pain. I don’t even know what its like to live with no pain anymore. I can’t go to hospitals because they won't do anything for you. I can’t leave the house with fear of coughing up blood in public, bleeding all over myself, collapsing, etc.. it’s miserable. I’m lucky if I get to leave the house ONCE  a week. iMAGINE THAT! I’m so tired of coughing up huge blood clots from my lungs and it being considered normal.I’m so tired of feeling like my body is fighting itself.. We need more treatments available!

A little about me and What I'm trying to accomplish!

Hey Guys, Welcome To My Blog!! :) My Name is Faithann Paslay and I am 22 years old. I’ve been struggling with this invisible illness called Endometriosis since I was 12 years old. It’s chronic and I deal with pain everyday. There is no cure for it so it will forever be a part of me and it’s something i’m going to have to deal with for the rest of my life. I have good days and bad. It takes 7 plus years just to receive a diagnosis and its often misdiagnosed. Over the years i’ve received different diagnosis and i’ve been on countless medications and treatments that haven’t worked. Luckily, I was finally diagnosed correctly In December of 2016 by laparoscopy, the only way to determine if you have it or not. However, it made my symptoms worse and now I have a scheduled excision surgery  in September for my lungs, bladder, and bowel. My blog is really about bringing awareness to this debilitating chronic invisible illness. 1 in 10 women have Endometriosis and so many of them haven’t received a diagnosis yet or they are waiting to have another surgery. Endometriosis impacts women in almost every aspect of their lives. How, when and if we can have children. How our cycles work and how long they may last. It gives us pain sometimes so debilitating we can’t even get out of bed in the morning. It messes with our mood. It also impacts our relationships with family and friends. It sometimes overpowers us and defines who we are. So this blog is about me speaking out for myself and for everyone struggling from any kind of chronic illness. You aren’t alone. Together, we have each other. I know what its like to have no one, to feel like you are stuck in a dark hole and no one is willing to pull you out. I’ve been there. I want to show light to people who are struggling, I want to encourage others to speak up and stand up for themselves. This disease shouldn’t define us and it shouldn’t control us. You shouldn’t feel guilty for being sick because it’s not your fault. I struggle everyday AND i’ve survived every bad day  I thought I couldn’t get through..I’m rising up everyday and so can you. If you’re interested in finding out more about Endometriosis, read my blogs and follow my journey. If You are a Endometriosis Warrior like me, follow me. Share them with your friends and family. React to them. My voice is one in many but I’m determined to make sure its heard. This is me taking a stand against anyone who has ever told me “Its all in my head” or “I’m overreacting” or “It ’s just period cramps”. #I’llRiseUp.
