He gets to the heart of what my struggles and goals are, and provides tools specific for improvement in the areas I need them. He is reassuring, attentive, kind and relatable. He is considerate and listens well. I highly recommend to click here on this <a href="https://us.calmerry.com/online-counseling/" rel="nofollow">online affordable therapy</a> and to read more information on the website.bojo2112jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12205163359184013380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633103281532247659.post-88213405515062390872016-03-16T13:48:49.566+00:002016-03-16T13:48:49.566+00:00Thank you so much for this post.

Like you, I was convinced that the pain I felt was normal. In fact, I was made to feel like I'm weak by my teachers and peers, who thought I was exaggerating as I doubled over and fell to the floor crying and throwing up. <br /><br />I am due for surgery soon, as my ovaries have now adhered together - wish me luck! It's a frustrating disease to deal with, and one that is so misunderstood, I feel like I barely have any support. Though I may look young and healthy on the outside, I feel weak and exhausted, always needing to find somewhere to sit, or missing out a lot of uni, even afraid of applying to jobs. I have been labelled as lazy by people who assume that I just like to lay around - believe me, I would much rather be on my feet, at the gym, earning and such...it has really taken a toll on my life. <br /><br />Maira @ http://lovefrommaira.co.ukMairahttp://lovefrommaira.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633103281532247659.post-7363436828747153012016-03-16T13:36:33.337+00:002016-03-16T13:36:33.337+00:00Thanks so much for the support Gil :) Thanks so much for the support Gil :) Sophie Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06849135026944731332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633103281532247659.post-32475525524070323222016-03-16T13:36:15.909+00:002016-03-16T13:36:15.909+00:00Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry you had to go through...Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry you had to go through all that. That's awful - I did find the surgery really helped me though so I'm glad you managed to get that eventually. Unfortunately for me, I just had to go through a million tests and then say "I told you so" at the end of it all - both times. That's a really tough situation hun :( Try not to let them put any pressure on you - I know it's hard. I've seen lots of blogs on having babies with endo when receiving 40, maybe they'll help? Thanks so much for sharing your story with me :) Best of luck xxSophie Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06849135026944731332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633103281532247659.post-87648896729638185272016-03-16T13:23:49.642+00:002016-03-16T13:23:49.642+00:00Thank you for sharing x I had to threaten to sue ...Thank you for sharing x I had to threaten to sue my doctor just to get a referral! I was told it was IBS and the pain was normal...It took almost a decade! I've had a few rounds of surgery now and it's the most under control it's ever been. I've made changes to my diet and exercise, which seemed to have helped too. I'm now 34 and the surgeons keep reminding me I should be having children now if I want them. Joy. I'm not ready yet but I know that if I don't have them soon, I may never have them. Hard to beat an extra bit of pressure! <br /><br /><a href="http://www.honestlyaine.com/" rel="nofollow">Honestly Aine</a>Honestly Ainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02104331067749177451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633103281532247659.post-4564427584810471152015-03-07T02:50:41.869+00:002015-03-07T02:50:41.869+00:00I reblogged a post about endometriosis on my tumbl...I reblogged a post about endometriosis on my tumblr and put some links back to you.

I remember having kidney infections every other week for years and my doctors just kept giving me tablets and pushing me away. One day I got a great doctor that refered me to the hospital for scans and we found what the problem was. I think it's a shame when doctors won't acknowledge that there could be something else going on just because you're young.

I would get it checked out if you can - they can scan you and see if there's anything up and do tests which aren't fun but if you're in pain then they might help to stop it. Good luck!
