I unoffishally have

Endometriosis.
We do not offishally know if that is what I have but we have finally labed what is wrong with me.  I do however still feel like a guineepig.  Having my doctor finally say that she thinks this could be the reason actully takes stress off me.  There is only one way to find out if you have endometriosis is to have a special type of sergery.  It isnt like a huge one but they do have to look inside of you.  I think after I graduate and come back home I might have them look into it, because well lets not kid our selfs, I do not have time to take a week off of my life to find out if I do or do not have endometriosis. 
I am being treated as if I do have it.  Birth control number 5.  I am now going to only have 4 periods a year to help try to prevent what is causing the pain.  I am not a doctor so it is hard for me to explain what is going on..feel free to google endometriosis there is a lot of info on it. 
So here is to another try on something new. 
I am trying to keep in mind always the comfort that is given to me everyday from my Heavenly Father.  I try to think  I can go on my own, but I need him and I know that he is taking care of me no matter what. 

So here is to today and in a week or so when I can start my new birth control.

  1. Erin, I am not happy about being right in my suggestion that you get checked for endometriosis back in January when I commented on your post "It is back." However, I am glad that having a label to put to it is a help...I know it gives me peace in trials when I can pinpoint a reason for something. Your body may not be letting you have peace, but at least you don't really have to wonder what it is anymore! I hope the new birth control helps you out a lot. I know someone who's been dealing with this for about 10 years maybe longer. If you'd like I could possibly put you in touch with her.

  2. yea, finally knowing helps. It really has brought comfort to all the pain. We can finally do more things concerning it and get better drugs to help it.
    It is never a good thing to find out something is wrong with you, but like in everything I am going to embrace this trail and see what Heavenly Father has in store for me. I have been told that the things I experince in my life are so I can also help others through their trials.
