So this will be a short and sweet blog today. I just wanted to share with you all how my endometriosis has been treating me lately. (Yes I treat it as if it was a real person because it's always there).
Now just a warning for you all. Endometriosis is not always a pretty thing lol it can affect everything about me from cramps to back pain to pooping and to even what I eat. So this post may be a little TMI for some. Ok now that I've warned you... :)
The past few days have been some of my worse pain days. Not necessarily with cramping because that actually hasn't been too bad but with other areas of my body. I have had a TON of lower back pain! It hurts and feels good at the same time when I try to stretch it out but it doesn't go away :( So sitting, standing, and moving have not been very fun!
On top of that I've had tummy issues. Bloating, heart burn, constipation, and even diarrhea. If you think you can't be constipated and have diarrhea at the same time think again! Not a fun couple of days for me. Because of all of this I have been exhausted! I'm not having trouble with my insomnia gratefully, so I've been falling asleep pretty quickly and sleeping longer than I may need. Like 10-12 hours a night!
Despite all of this I still was able to clean my house and visit with friends and family. And shovel the snow that we received off our sidewalks this morning :)
I feel very grateful that I can manage to live with my pain! I have read many stories of women with endometriosis who are in so much pain they struggle to do those daily little tasks. So I am definitely grateful that I am not yet to that point! (Hopefully I never reach it either!!)
My Thought For Today :)
For those who may be wondering if they can make it through, whatever it is you may be struggling with. Don't give up! We may have rough days but we can make it through! Despite my pain I keep pushing through and I'm so grateful that I have and that I still do. I know what it's like when you give up and lose hope. (Future blog coming about this.) So no matter what don't quit trying to accomplish whatever your dreams and goals are!!
One of my favorite scriptures is in Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy path." Whatever you are going through I ask that you not give up! The Lord is always there to help us through. He loves us no matter what.
Til next time!
