A: Endometriosis is a disease that effects 10% of women, but no one seems to talk about it. The truth is, there is not a lot of information about this disease but researchers are working, as you are reading this, to find an answer.
Q: How much does it hurt?
A: There is no way to describe the pain we are in everyday. There is no way for anyone to understand what we go through and that is why people need to start talking about it more.
Q: Is there a cure for Endometriosis?
A: At the present time, there is no cure for Endo but there are long term treatments such as the birth control pill. This pill does not take away the pain, but it regulates it so it is not as bad as it could be.
Q: Can't you just get out of your bed?
A: The truth is, some days I cannot and that is just the reality of having Endo. Some days are worse than others and there is nothing anyone can do about it.
Q: Will it get better?
A: Although I want to say yes to this question, I can't. It probably will not get better and that is just something I have to live with.
Q: Why does it look like you are fine?
A: Endometriosis is an "invisible" disease meaning women who have it tend not to show how they are really feeling on the inside.
Q: How can I learn more about Endometriosis?
A: I have useful links down below that you can click on to read.
Q: How do you handle the pain?
A: It is really hard most of the time, but I try my best to do everything I can. The thing that helps me the most is lying down and using my heating pad. If you have Endo, a heating pad is an essential item.
Q: What are the symptoms of Endometriosis?
A: The main symptom of Endo is pelvic pain, typically during a woman's menstrual cycle. There are other symptoms as well such as headaches, fatigue, body aches, etc.

Q: Would you recommend the Laparoscopic surgery?
A: I would 100% recommend the surgery. Although it does not cure Endo, it helps immensely. It is an easy same day surgery and a short recovery. So if you have Endo and have not gotten this surgery, I would definitely research it. I will be making a post about it soon so I can share more information about it.
