And it comes and goes

Edit: im just having a moan… I had
My hysterectomy 17 years ago… when I was very young. Life improved a massive amount after that and in between outbreaks life was always good. It just really annoys me when they start this…. ‘let’s contemplate endometriosis help’.


BBC published an article today which expressed an opinion of a Scottish Government’ Health Plan review which disclosed that endometriosis care falls way short of what is necessary.

Apparently it takes on average eight and a half years to be diagnosed.

It took me 18 and a half.

18.5 years of excruciating pain.

18.5 years of being told I was constipated.

18.5 years of being made to drink fibregel.

18.5 years of two week periods every two weeks.

18.5 years of being told I was a bit hormonal.

Eventually I got fed up with the poking and prodding and nods; I’m sure they thought I was hallucinating; and said take it away; take it all away .

The sweetest thing I ever heard was when I woke up and the surgeon was by my bed and he said ‘I’m so, so very sorry; it was the worst endometriosis I’ve ever seen; it was everywhere; we couldn’t see it until we touched your womb and then it was everywhere . I’m sorry we didn’t see it sooner’.
