Hello all,
It's been a while since I have written due to my surgery. I was in a lot of pain but, I want to do something a little bit different. Most of you have heard of what endometriosis has done to women. My fiancé and I have been together for 2 1/2 years and he has seen the good, the bad and the ugliness of what endometriosis has done to my life. I want him to write to you all about what he has seen.....
Hello everyone,
To tell you the truth I didn't even know that Endometriosis existed when I met Annie, but I made sure that I read up everything I could find on it after she mentioned it to me. I wanted to know if there was anything I could do to better her condition or maybe even something she could do that she wasn't already aware of. A lot of what she had to do to better her condition was eating right (organic, gluten free)and some moderate exercise. What I came to experience in the 2 1/2 years that we've been together has shown me the emotional toll that endometriosis can take on a person and a relationship. A lot of times the minor arguments that a couple will experience will be magnified because of the way endometriosis effects their hormones. She tended to have really bad sudden mood swings and I have learned and grown to be patient. I have always questioned whether it was me or if maybe it was just her personality, but I have seen that Annie has a constant struggle to deal with Endometriosis and I've grown to be even more understanding. This experience has been very difficult for me, but I can say that ultimately it has strengthened and matured me as a man. Through the process we have both grown and endometriosis is hardly a determining factor in our relationship the way it used to be. It used to be something we struggled with, now it's just something we've learned to conquer.
