Endometriosis Support Group
Endometriosis is a common medical condition where the tissue lining the uterus is found outside of the uterus, typically affecting other organs in the pelvis. The condition can lead to serious health problems, primarily pain and infertility. A major symptom of endometriosis is pain, mostly in the lower abdomen, lower back, and pelvic area.
Hey ladies,
I've been having a pretty rough week. Been in pain again since having sex Monday, which is far too long if you ask me, and my IBS is acting up like crazy thanks to my less than stellar holiday diet. On top of that I have been ridiculously tired, I was falling asleep at work yesterday and I could barely get myself out of bed this morning even after sleeping for 10.5 hours. It's the worst! Luckily it's Friday, but I still have to work all day tomorrow and Sunday will be spent cleaning and doing surgery prep. I also had a pretty emotional break and I'm nervous about my surgery so between all of these things I have little motivation to do anything but lay in bed all day. Sorry about the long message, I just needed a little rant!

Being in pain is also tiring, I can certainly relate to that, as I am sure every other lady on here can. I seem to feel tired constantly!
Good luck with the surgery, hope you get the relief you are looking for and you never need to apologise for ranting on here, that's what it's here for!
Take care x
You are so close! Hang in there! I can totally relate. The week before my surgery was really tough, too. I had so much I wanted to get done so I didn't have to worry about it later, but physically, it was just too difficult. I had to ask for help. Something I'm really not good at, but I'm working on it. Being nervous about the surgery is totally normal. My doc said he would be concerned if I wasn't. I was absolutely terrified they would find nothing. I asked my doctor and the nurses so many times if they were sure they were going to find anything. They were, and they did. The next couple of weeks are going to be tough, but you'll get through it. Soon you'll have your answers, and then you can focus on healing up. Please take it easy on yourself. ((Hugs))
It has been a really long week playing catch up from the holidays AND trying to get everything ready to take off next week. Let's just hope I'm feeling good enough to hit the ground running a week after surgery.
