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.

Sorry ladies,
I try to help by sharing my experience....then I read my replies... I feel like I am scaring everyone... my head is so full of things to share they all seem to come out negative.... how do you put a positive spin on this stuff... I want to help others... but I don't want to lie... and at the same time I don't want to come here and just scare people...

So I guess I am asking how do I help without freaking folks out?

Especially the newbies!?!?!

I get scared for them when they ask for the big_H...... I use to want it too... but there is so much... okay i'm gonna stop now... starting to freak myself out ....

I don't know why your panicking yourself hun, whenever I read your replies I just connect with you as it is exactly how I feel. You have to be honest on here because think of all those doctors that make us feel like lunatics, that is why it is important to come on here and listen to others who have the same problems. It is a huge weight off of your mind knowing you are not insane and that all your symptoms are the same as others. I also feel stronger when I see my doctor now, as people off of here have given me so much strenghth that I never had before. Anyway you may feel you are negative, but I don't think you are. sometimes you make me laugh with your replies as sometimes our wicked sense of humour comes out. I think we all feel a little negative on here because we are poorly day in and day out. It really isn't the case though so don't worry and relax.

It is best to be honest. There is no point to telling someone something unless it is the truth. Newbees need to know what this disease is like from survivors, do not feel bad. You did not give this disease, you are helping them through their journey. You are doing a great job, don't feel bad!

i want you not to freak out because your keeping it real with people. if they cant handle it. you cant help that. now if you do put a positive spin on things and it seems all rosy then when they do whatever and remember what u wrote and send u something nasty. keep doin you dont change. please dont.

I agree with everyone else...I would rather you (& everyone else) be honest with me, even if it does scare me!

I like reading the stuff you post. Endo can be a scary thing. I'm sure people come here looking for honesty, you provide that.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
