'Its Not The Endo The World...'

10th May can only mean one thing, it's my birthday! And what a birthday it's been. For the first time in years I decided to work my birthday. It wasn't all bad as my team took the time  and effort to decorate my desk with LED lit balloons, a banner and a huge badge! They're a good bunch and I hope they know how much it brightened my day. This evening I've been to Miller & Carter with my family and bestie. Wow! What a meal. But damn am I paying for it right now. I knew deep down eating a steak was gonna become a regret but I wanted to treat myself, after all if you can't treat yourself on your birthday when can you! But within 30 minutes I was in cramping hell! By the time I got home I felt sick and my stomach was absolutely screaming at me. It's not the best way to end the day but the food was pretty amazing so it was kinda worth it! Thank you to everyone who gave me wonderful gifts and took the time to wish me a Happy Birthday! I love birthdays beca...

I've been researching and also speaking to some of you about what you do to ease some of the symptoms that Adeno and Endo present. One in particular is nausea. For a while now I've described it as having morning sickness. Bit of a bad joke considering thats what you get when you're pregnant!! But for a while now I've woken up feeling sick and by lunchtime its usually worn off. Some days it can last all day but it seems to be a common morning thing. Upon speaking to fellow sufferers and through my own research ginger is of course known to help with nausea. I've tried ginger tea before but it can be time consuming to make in the morning before work. However, ginger shots were recommended as something else to try.  I've looked into recipes for the famous ginger shot but whilst I was in Waitress this morning, my bestie noticed they did them there. So for £1.50 a shot, I thought I'd give them a go. They taste great! I've got together a couple of reci...

I'm not sure if it's just a coincidence, or whether I'm just having a good stretch but I'm feeling positive. The pain is there but not half as bad as it has been the last couple of months. My mood is on the up and I'm feeling optimistic about things. The only downside is my skin is breaking out since stopping the injections but I'm guessing that's my body getting used to those lovely hormones again. It's amazing when you have a period of time where you start to see your old self coming through after a dark painful time. It feels good. Like really good. Don't let Endometriosis take away your sparkle! A x

Been feeling pretty horrid since lunch today. Homemade chicken & mushroom pie and salad clearly hasn't agreed with me and now I look pregnant... which is quite hilarious considering thats never going to happen! Got to laugh! What foods do you find worsen your symptoms? For me it seems to be anything bad, the dominos, the chinese takeaways, the burgers, basically the naughty stuff that tastes good. Any suggestions on what to avoid or what helps in terms of what to eat, please let me know! A x
