The things endo takes

when your endo is really really bad, you stop thinking your fertility... You stop thinking about having children.... but at the same time.. if you never wanted kids before you think about it... you think about what this disease is doing to you and how it will destroy any option of a natural born son or daughter.... In those moments where it is not terrible you grieve almost like you miscarried or had a still birth... Even women who never wanted kids go through this... I have.... and while if pregnancy ever happened in those fragile places of your life, no job or no man... There would be some twinge of joy that it was possible....
but then you are over come by another month or two of dibilitating pain and other embarressing, dishearting issues. Despite the fact that you have cut out all junk from your diet.. Including coffee and wheat.... You just think, screw fertility, I just want my life back! This disease steals your diet, your love life, your health, your abililty to have a normal job because flaires can last a few months or more.... oh and as mentioned... it takes your ability to give life..
the cost of a hysterectomy for stage IV endo is about $16,000. If you want the best, tack on another $3,000 for a trip to florida... So, $19,000-20,000 total. How do you get that sort of money when you're too sick to have a steady job? Selling a kidney is about the only way. However, Endometriosis is like a cancer and it can attatch it self to other orgins, including Kidneys.
Why is there so little assistance for Endo? It affects 1 in 4 women in the US ,but you see so little about it.. It seems so wrong.
