found this place by accident....

Its a great place for support...welcome

I am also brand new to Daily Strength - I joined last night. I was searching for a support group to better understand my health and this one just seemed right. I joined because the support is overwhelming and these people make me feel like I am not alone. I think we did good :)

I found it by Google...searching for answers the Drs. don't seem to have. It is wonderful for support and information. Good Luck

I don't remember how I found DS, but I sure am gald I did.

I found this site a little over a month ago the day after my lap. I was devastated to hear that I had endo and I didn't know where to start in fighting this disease. I think I found this site by googling, but I was pretty drugged up at the time, so I don't really remmeber.
I have found this site to be a great source of support and information. There are a lot of people here with a lot of experience dealing with endo and they have all been really helpful.

I too found this site by googling endometriosis to see what I came up with, I've recently had a flare up & was looking for other people in the same situation as me, for inspiration, treatment ideas etc. I have a fantastic support network, but I guess like a lot of women out there I don't know anyone else in my social circle with endometriosis & as much as everyone listens & empathises, they all admit they just can't begin to understand what it is like. I'm a nurse & a lot of my friends are nurses, but unless you experience this condition firsthand it's very difficult to comprehend the effect it can have on your whole life.

I found this site as my doctor advised I needed some counselling and the best counselling I could get was talking to others with Endometriosis. He told me to join an English one which he recommended to me, I did to only find I was the only member! I was so desperate to get some support as I felt no one else understood my illness. So I typed into the search engine Endometriosis Forum's and then it guided me to here. It is blooming marvelous, I have gained so many lovely supportive friends who know exactly what I am going through. But you don't have to have medical problems to be on here, life is a battle itself I am sure that deserves a whole support website too ha, ha. I hope you like it on here.

Hi Roselynn,
Back in August, I was googling for Endo forums to list as resources on my website, when I found this site. I chose this one over the others that I'd found at that time.
This seemed like the easiest to use, and has a journal feature which I need and adore.

I was reluctant at first to start participating in the forum - just wanted to watch. But then I started reading about people new to having this disease, and they were so lost and in need of help, I was spurred to action with others.

It was then that I realised that it made ME feel better emotionally to participate, instead of sitting there reading the forum and sulking with my own black cloud above my head about how much this disease sucks.

We're all in this together. We need each other. I'm very happy to have found this group.

I found this site by accident. And I'm so glad I did... It's a great place with lots of wonderful support. I hope you find it as helpful as I have.. Welcome :)
