      Thank you for the beautiful reply. I really hope the next few days are as tolerable as possible, endo cycles just add so much more to the pain and misery!! To take the time out and send a message like you have just shows the strength you have inside, even if it does not feel like it right now. Here is to the future and to making sense of the next few months. You will not feel this drained and numb always, but it will take time to start to feel like yourself again xx
