Yesterday was a scary but validating day. I had endometriosis excision surgery. The amazing @drseckin, Dr. Chu and their team removed 21 endometrial adhesions that have caused debilitating pain, nausea, migraines & more over the past 3 1/2 years. The endometrial tissue was everywhere (my ovaries, bowel, intestines & more) & my left ovary had become distorted & fused to the tube bc endo is like having chewing gum in your body. The muscles in my pelvis were constantly pulling to extract the endo that was sitting in places it shouldn’t be which was causing the pain & more scar tissue to develop. Yes my pain was real & No I wasn’t overreacting. My extreme pain from the endo is what caused me to lose weight – not an eating disorder or IBS or a reaction to gluten/dairy/caffeine. The migraines were not stress or anxiety induced – it was pain & my body reacting to the endo.
I know I am INCREDIBLY lucky to be diagnosed so young. Most women live with insane pain for 10 years before being diagnosed & many are told they are overreacting or that it’s all in their head. I am so very grateful that @bindisueirwin shared her endometriosis journey on insta in March & then when I met her in May at the Steve Irwin gala she was so very kind & strongly encouraged me to find answers. I saw several doctors in LA (one recommended they put me into peri menopause or on antidepressants to control the pain – um no) but I am so grateful to have found @seckinmd & his amazing team. It has been a really difficult, scary & lonely journey, but I am so so grateful that my mom researched & didn’t just accept the unacceptable answers, that other women like @lesliemosier, @grlwithbangs & others have shared their stories that helped me know I wasn’t alone and for Dr. Seckin & Dr. Chu (who are incredibly compassionate) who believed me & are dedicated to helping women with endo.
I’m sharing my story to let other women who are struggling with endo know you are not alone. For those who are reading this & quietly dealing with pain & no answers, please let this be your validation that your pain is real.
