My Endometriosis Story: End?

My surgery was scheduled for February 24, 2016.  I will never forget that date.  It was a very easy surgery but I do not remember a lot of it.  The doctors were very nice and my family was so supportive.  After my surgery, my pain decreased a lot.  When I got home from my surgery my friends and family were so supportive.  I received some great gifts that really helped me get through the next couple of days.  Every once in a while I will have days that I am in a lot of pain, but I need to learn how to control it.  In the meantime, I take a birth control medication to help with the pain.  Endo is known as an “invisible pain”.  Most women, including myself, with Endo put on a mask and act like we are fine.  We do not want to ruin other people’s day because we are in pain.  We most definitely do not want to ruin relationships and friendships either.  I am so thankful to all my amazing friends and family who have helped me through this very hard time.  I would like to use this platform to inform people and advocate for this disease that affects ten percent of women.  The only way to create a cure for this disease is to inform people about it.  Please help me spread the word about this debilitating condition.  Feel free to send me your stories because I would love to read them! Thank you for reading.
