more to say

I've still got a few more things to say, but this isn't me venting, and more of an afterthought.

Firstly I want to say that I don't want people's sympathy or for anyone to feel sorry for me, I want people to try and understand what Endo is like. I'm trying to raise awareness from my small corner of the world, in my circle hoping that our next generation of women can have some real hope for this disease. Endometriosis is a 1 in 10 disease, yet I am astonished and how little it is common knowledge. Furthermore the fact the it can cause chronic pain, chronic fatigue, bowel problems, painful sex, and so many other problems. How can so many women be suffering and so little is know? It is a tragedy.
So I want people to know what it's like to live with a disease like this. One where there is no cure and the current only way to diagnose is with surgery.

I would also like to make a point about pot. Yes pot. I know it's still a taboo subject for some, but I have a hard time understanding why. As someone who has used it for many years, I can attest to the wonders of the flower. I couldn't survive my life currently if it wasn't for my dear friend Mary Jane. It is the only medicine in the world that cures nausea while also helping to promote appetite at the same time, which really comes in handy when you have Endo. It actually makes the brain forget about pain. I don't know how I would sleep at night without my tokes. You can think what you want about addition, but I would much rather have a mild addition to pot than be opioid dependent. Which sadly can happen to a lot of women with Endo due to the chronic pain. I really can't wait until I meet the Dr. who will be willing to help me get my medical license.
