This my friends is what #endometriosis looks like? Am I pregnant? No I had a cyst burst in my stomach, and it swelled up to this size, and it’s extremely painful to move most of the time. We affectionately call it “endo belly.” But I still tend to my responsibilities. No rest for the wicked my friends. The other picture is the bruising on my lower back from the heat pad that gives my lower back and stomach pain relief. That never goes away as long as I have pain and need the pad, which is everyday. The bruising doesn’t hurt, but it’s my exterior reminder of the chronic illness on the inside, no one can see . I try to find the humor in everything, even when it hurts; so my tramp stamp is a cluster of bruises. Life with endometriosis isn’t easy, I miss social events, can’t commit to too many things unless it’s work related. I have to prioritize, I make sure I make a living, then shut down 99.9 percent of the time. Stress makes it worse! As of now there’s no cure I’ve been told. Only a temporary reprieve if I become pregnant. Well that’s in God’s hands. I know he doesn’t give me anything I can’t handle. So I got this! 💪🏻 But I don’t get to forget about this condition hardly ever. Endometriosis you’re a cruel condition; but don’t throw dirt in my grave just yet! #lifestyleblogger #foodblogger #pretty #makelifepretty #styleblogger #pursuepretty #itsthelittlethings #makeitblissful #popofcolor #liveauthentic #flashesofdelight #sparkle #beautyblogger #fromwhereistand #livethelittlethings #loveit #thatsdarling #endometriosis #endometriosisawareness #oneovary #onefallopiantube #recovery #thistooshallpass #focusonthepositive #imtrying #💛 #cantgiveup #chinupbuttercup (at Sherman Oaks, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpTWQmOnC9d/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vsznz8tuj85f
