Hey there! I was in this place a year ago before getting surgery. It was tough. I took each day at a time and had some good support. I took the time to find new hobbies that were interesting to pass the time. Most of all though I really had to fight for myself with my doctor to get the surgery. They really didn’t want to do it and pushed away my pain. I really pushed for it and now on the other side of it, I live a very different and almost entirely pain free life. Doctors don’t always have your best interests in heart I’ve found they want to shove you in a one size fits all box. Don’t be afraid to push back you are the one paying for it and going through it after all!

I was talked into surgery for endometriosis. I wish I had not. It was a nightmare experience, and the cysts just grew right back. I was so discouraged. God brought along a friend who let me know there was a natural way to shrink the cysts and deal with the pain. Now I am mostly pain-free! Ask a naturopath doctor about Serrapeptase, NAC, DIM, and other vitamins and minerals that can be taken to reverse the issues! ❤️
