How do you Uterus? An Introduction.

Well hello there! Yes, I do like a good pun. And yes, there will be more to come. Us #endowarriors need a little more laughter in our lives.

Welcome to my blog about endometriosis. As a self identifying women with endometriosis, I am just trying to manage my way through life and talk about the challenges and triumphs of an #endolife. Oh, and speaking of that....shhhhh......let talk about it. No, really....LETS TALK ABOUT IT. I have to be honest, some of the inspiration of my blog has come from years of not talking about this chronic condition. It also comes from familial habits of being fearful of talking about "taboo" health topics with one another. For instance, it's "taboo" to talk to a male family member directly about your lady bits. REALLY?!? SO WHAT?!? It's just a body part. Unfortunately, it's just the one that's giving me the most grief today.

This blog's intention is to help break the stigma, and start those conversations that we need to have to help everyone understand how this chronic condition truly affects us. I am writing from Canada and I know there are many times that I have felt our health care system is WAY behind. I have connected with a few other individuals already that share similar feelings. I have found that talking and blogging about it helps to alleviate some of the pain. Some blog posts will be short, some will be long. Some might just consist of a video that is very relevant to the intention of this blog. My hope is that we #endowarriors can connect, feel educated about our condition, and maybe feel a sense of hope from the positive research that is coming from around the world.

So let's start this journey together #endowarriors. Let's be kind, learn, grow, and most importantly....TALK ABOUT IT!
