Since I started sharing my story on social media, I have received messages from other (mainly women) people. About their story but also sweet messages that wish me success 🩷
I am grateful for this! I feel a little heard and seen and I hope to be able to help/inspire other women with this.
For now, my physical state of affairs is:
No more blood loss for a few days, but cramps and quickly tired.
An appointment is scheduled for the end of February at a hospital with an entire endometriosis department. I went looking for a hospital with such a specific department.
Somewhere I found this quite crooked, because shouldn’t my doctor do that? The answer is still not clear to me…
So now we have to wait… patience is not (yet) my strong suit, but I can’t help it.
My sickness benefit has also been applied for and that process is ongoing. Again, wait and see…
There is simply no arrow to be drawn up about my current health, and that is (to put it mildly) mega annoying.
I don’t usually stay home all day. For example, I like to walk and I just can’t do that right now. I’m already relieved when I was able to walk through the supermarket.
There is a constant fear. I am not such a scared person!
I don’t know what else I can tell you about it… one day it goes pretty well and I walk almost upright and the next day I’m back together on the couch.
At the beginning of February I had the pill put back on. Although it doesn’t really work for me anymore. But I had checked with the hospital where I was going to be treated and they said that I had better do it again, because otherwise there is a chance that my complaints will get worse in that month’s time… so I listened carefully.
It’s true that you only realize what you had when you don’t have it anymore. For me, that is my health and freedom. I’m only 26…
You may notice it in my writing that I’m going off the hook, but I can’t focus properly either, and I wanted to give an update here.
Thanks for reading and wish you a nice day 🩷
