Starting the journey

Well...it turns out I have been suffering from a debilitating disease for most of my life without knowledge of what was causing me so much pain.

I was just diagnosed with Endometriosis on June 15th after I had a laparoscopy to biopsy and hopefully remove a mass that had grown on my left ovary. Well while the good ol doc was in there..she found some ridonculous endometriosis in my pelvic area.

Because of this lovely disease I am changing my lifestyle dramatically. I have been researching, sometimes almost all day like an endo-info addict, more natural approaches to healing (i don't want to put unwanted hormones in my body if I can help it). I will be changing my diet to help lessen the pain and growth of my Endometriosis, and hopefully boost my fertility for our future family. I will be trying to eat a soy-free, gluten-free, dairy-free diet!


Wow that is a big change for me, but it turns out that soy, most of all, makes this disease worse. I hope to post on here about my journey with endometriosis as often as I can. I hope to post lots of endo-friendly recipes and info that I think is helpful. I hope you will join me on my journey endo the wild world that is Endometriosis. In some small way maybe I can help someone else out there living with this disease and reach out to my Endo sisters!
