Here is Amanda’s story along with a few words for anyone else suffering from this disease: 🎗 I’ve always said that patience is one of the main keys through this journey.
I had my excision surgery in October of last year and I thought my answers were there, but it only brought more questions. I also had the option to have two surgeries from two different doctors in the past two years, but all they offered was ablation and if I learned anything through Facebook support groups it was ablation is a big no, so I was willing to wait for my specialist. He warned me that the surgery could result in pelvic floor disfunction, and 5 months later my pain and limitations are larger than before due to pelvic floor muscle spastic disfunction. I’m currently waiting for physical therapy to start, so once again I’m waiting. Some days I truly want to give up. Endometriosis isn’t just our uterus lining growing in places it shouldn’t...it’s life changing. Of all the things I have learned it is find a specialist that you trust. I hope one day I learn why I am 1 in 10.
