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.
Just wanted to mention to you guys - I was on Celebrex for my joint pain (which they say is from Crohns, but which I believe is from endo of the bowel or ileum).
I don't really recommend that drug, since it made me SO confused and out of it.
Regardless, one week of the celebrex made it so EVERY single inflamed thing on my body stopped hurting. I have never been given proper painkillers until now, even though I have had endo for 10 years. I was SHOCKED to learn that each pain in my pelvis, side, joints, back, etc. etc. was all inflammation.
I have had to stop taking the meds, but looked into what can naturally ease inflammation and I guess CINNAMON and OMEGA 3 oil can help.
We always wonder what our pain comes from exactly and how to treat it, but now I know that most of us have horrible pain simply from the endo tissue being inflamed, otherwise those meds wouldn't have helped me at all!
Just thought I would share for anyone in the dark about things, since it always helps to know a little I find.

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
