The Worst of Me

Oct 08, 2014 11:25

Well, even in the early stages of menopause my period came again. Later then the last time. Monday I spent in bed; curled up with a heating bad, bottle of pain killers by my side and finding very little relief. I always tell myself that it will pass, however every cycle lately is worse then the last and my will seems to be wearing very thin. When ( Read more... )

hey darl. im so sorry your endo is giving you such grief. i know what its like to feel these things. that you are just a drag on your hubby. i have had endometriosis (&2 surgeries myself) as well as other health issues that have made me feel like this some days. it sucks to feel at your worst, and a failure much of the time. but you must be doing something right as he loves you so you must be a pretty darn lovable person. pain or not. also i am sad to see that on lj you have defined yourself by your worst trait. im sure there is more to you than this. i hope. i hope you can at least find it.

if you are only 25 how come you are in menopause already if you dont mind me asking? so noisy. if you need any support or extra friends on here let me know.

lots of love to you.

peri-menopausal infertilemama October 8 2014, 21:40:55 UTC

Hi. Thank you so much for your kind words. Im peri-menopausal, so going into earl onset as my ovaries aren't functioning anymore so my progesterone levels are basically no longer there. There is much more to be then this part of my life however I am trying to raise a little awareness by telling this story. I post my entries to fb as well as make them public on here...its a silent struggle and it shouldn't be. I think I'll feel much better once i have my hysterectomy. At least then Ill be able to enjoy life more often then not. Thank you again, and if you need a friend on your journey Im here.

I just had a laparoscopy with a LUNA and unilateral oopherectomy (one ovary out) and the day after surgery my pain was significantly less than what I was dealing with every day. To say recovery pain is less than daily pain is a huge thing because that in itself is no picnic. 2 weeks later I am feeling better than ever, and I feel like I have hope again. I'm feeling motivated and positive, which is a 180 degree turn from how I felt before the surgery. I had no energy, I couldn't get off the couch and felt depressed all the time. This wasn't my first lap either, I've had my fair share but this feels different ( ... )
