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.
Was a bit angry tonight but slowly getting over it...I live in a small town so when I go to the corner store I see the same people over and over. It just makes me mad because I have to work so hard to stay healthy and keep my pain under control and my life is always revolving around fighting health ins battles, medical bills and doc apts. It just seems to me like if I have one slip up like I accidentally eat wheat I'm down for days....
But to my point these people at my corner store kind of make me mad. When I was there tonight getting my chef salad and diet soda for dinner everyone in line in front of me was buying hard liquor, cigs, fried food, junk food, beer and pizza and its these same people over and over and they buy these same things over and over....
I just want to ask the universe Why? Why do they get to treat their bodies like that and not get sick? Why do they not have chronic health issues????? I've never drank, smoked, have always eaten healthy, exercised and maintained a good emotional and spiritual balance, but I'm the one who gets screwed by having cancer and now chronic endo. Why is it I have to do everything by the book and still get sick when others who don't follow the rules never get sick???
Is it just me or does anyone else ever feel like this to?

You look around and see all these people and you ASSUME they don't have problems but those same people could be in very unhappy marriages, or unable to find love in life, or up to their eyeballs in financial trouble, or have a spouse that runs around on them. Nobody has a perfect life, everyone has some crap to deal with. I tried for a year and a half to try to get pregnant. I miscarried at 6 weeks and tried for months after until my endo pain was so horrible I had to go back on the pill to have the quality of life I needed. I could easily sit here and question why me, why wasn't I blessed with a child but sometimes, it's easier to just dwell on the negatives. I chose to think about it a different way - focusing on the blessings I DO HAVE in my life. I know it's hard to have a chronic medical condition like we have and it's easy to get down, I know, I've been there many many times. I do often wonder how people can drink, smoke and have nothing bad happen to them but again, we don't know what the rest of their life is like. Hang in there!
Where as I'm on a strict endo diet, I don't drink or smoke either, I'm fit and go to the gym but I'm the one in chronic pain and struggling to gett pregnant! The world works in f*cked up ways sometimes. There is a little goblin somewhere out there laughing at me I tells you :-p
Keep strong hun! Seriously though, sometimes I'm glad that I eat so healthy because I know when I'm like 50 years old and the endo passes with menapause I'll have the most healthy and hot looking 50 year old body. And my friend well, who knows :-p (Although I do love her and wish she would just eat some damn veggies)
