Endometriosis: Making the invisible, visible. New Blog, link in bio 🌟 You can't see how endometriosis directly impacts my body, my life or pain it causes. If you could, would you look at me differently? Please share to make the invisible, visible 🙏 💛 #endometriosis #endo #endostrong #endowarriors #endowarrior #invisableillness #hiddenillness #chronicallyill #chronicillness #chronicallyawesome #chronicallyfabulous #chronicpain #extrapelvicnotrare #diaphragm #invisable #visable #bodyart #representation #visualart #bodyimage #spoonie #spoonielife #1in10 #awareness #advocacy #knowledge #blog #blogger #blogging #blogpost

He has my back. We both bring different things to our relationship and we balance one another out, we both have great things that we enhance each others lives with. We support each other through thick and thin. We both make each other happy, and that's the most important thing. My husband won't identify as my carer, although that is part of the role he has. He doesn't see himself as my carer, he sees himself as my equal, my best friend and my husband and healthy or not... He'd do anything for me. My husband does not take pity on me, he does not feel sorry for me but gives me empathy and compassion, he researches my illnessess and explores ways that he could try and help me. He educates himself so that even though he can't feel what I'm experiencing, he understands to some degree what I'm going through. On bad days my husband doesn't see dressing me, shopping for me, cooking or cleaning for me as chores... He instead sees how a little assistance can really help benefit my day or week and giving me some support means I have energy to make memories. If the shoe was on the other foot, I would support him emotionally, mentally and physically in every way I could. We communicate every single day, and we take each day as it comes. My husband married me knowing my body was at war with itself, he attended nearly every medical appointment with me, spoke out when I lost my voice or when I really needed to be heard. He doesn't question the need for using mobility aid, he doesn't question my pain and he's had my back since day one that none of this has ever been in my head. My husband has seen me at my best and my absolute worst and he has always taken me in his arms and raised me up. That's what best friends do, that what husband's and wives do. In sickness and in health ♡ #husband #hubby #husbandandwife #bestfriends #soulmates #endometriosis #endo #endowarrior #endowarriors #1in10 #invisableillness #chronicpain #chronicillness #chronicallyill #chronicallyawesome #chronicallyfabulous #chronicpain #hiddenillness #1in10 #Fibromyalgia #hypermobility #womenshealth #spoonie #spoonielife #relationships #equal #storytelling #myjourney #breakthetaboo #breakthestigma

It's been a crazy couple of months for me, two months of being housebound and trying to look to the future. The future scares me right now. I'm two months into a fibomyalgia flare and it really doesn't seem to be subsiding, despite how many tablets I add to the mix. My stomach has started a war against me in terms of digesting food and if I dare leave the house for a little walk, the next two to three days are completely off the cards. My endo is progressing further up my diaphragm and my left ovary often feels as if its trying to explode. My movements and abilities have decreased, all my appointments are cancelled, and I have no specialists in sight at the moment, no referrals and no medical support. It's a dark time, and a time of isolation from everything. This too will pass, this too will pass. Sending you all a huge hug spoonies♥ #endo #endometriosis #endowarrior #endowarriors #1in10 #invisableillness #hiddenillness #chronicallyill #chronicillness #chronicallyawesome #chronicallyfabulous #chronicpain #Fibromyalgia #fibro #hypermobility #anxiety #thistoowillpass #future #housebound #womenshealth #spoonie #spoonielife #mobility #pain #Support #blogger #painintheendo #covid_19

March 2020. This is the second year I've ever been aware that an awareness month was dedicated to Endometriosis. This is also the second year my heart has burst with pride towards this community. We all so desperately want the same thing, and that starts with changing the narrative. Today I read that Endometriosis sufferers are actually Endometriosis survivors and that hit me. We really are survivors, from the mental impact of not being believed, the trauma from doctors, surgeons and nurses caused before, during and after surgery; the neglect of our symptoms which can hugely impact our organs and sometimes our fertility. We may take medication that cripples us, takes over our hormones, forces us into early menopause or masks symptoms whilst an illness still runs wild. We survive every single day, when our pain is unbearable, when we have little options, when we have to go to work, when we have surgery, after surgery and still live in pain. We survive and our community thrives with amazing, beautiful, awe inspiring survivors. I salute you my beautifuls 💛💕 #Survivor #endometriosissurvivor #endosurvivor #endometriosis #endo #endostrong #endowarriors #endowarrior #invisableillness #hiddenillness #chronicallyill #chronicillness #chronicallyawesome #chronicallyfabulous #chronicpain #awareness2020 #journey #spoonie #spoonielife #endocommunity #community #extrapelvicnotrare #salute #amazing #amazingpeople #womenshealth #march #discoverunder5k
