Rough Week

This week has been a rough one.  Just after I had an appointment with my doctor at Boston Children's Hospital, I started having agonizing pain again.  This time, it's been very frustrating because it's finals week at my school.  It's so hard to focus on anything when all you can think abut is your pain.  I can't use it as an excuse. My teachers would never believe me if I got a lower grade than I usually do and I say it's because I am in pain.  It's so hard going to school and having to put on a brave face.  If I told anyone what was wrong, they wouldn't believe me.  They would say I'm being dramatic because I always look happy.  I just can't look happy all the time, it's impossible. 

Taking my pain medicine in a hard thing for me. Since Endo is so out of the ordinary, I can't tell if my pain has stopped or gotten better because of the medicine or it just ran its course for now.  Right now, all I can do is lay in bed and try to study, but it's very hard to stay focused. If any of my Endo ladies reading this have any tips to be able to stay concentrated while in pain, please let me know.  For now, I am trying my best to stay positive and focused while allowing my body to rest and heal.  Thank you for reading and remember, Endo is not the end!
