I believe in time more will understand this disease and we will raise awareness. I feel that since our disease is invisable so many people do not understand. Someday they might. Together I hope we can make a change were we are listened too and get the support we all need. Take care. Keep in touch.Erin Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8924427017159384100.post-34287381588391443812012-03-12T14:32:17.459-07:002012-03-12T14:32:17.459-07:00Wow.

I am a 38yr old woman and i have been suffering with endometriosis since i was a young teenager, though it went undiagnosed until recently. I thought i was alone, a freak, a broken woman. The pain is like a demon inside me trying to break through my abdomen and lower back like the scene with Sigourney Weaver in Alien. No exaggeration. The depression, exhaustion and self doubt, sense of losing ones self, is almost too much to bear and yes, suicidal thoughts have often crossed my mind. I am grateful to Erin for talking about this disease on her blog, I will tell everyone i know to read it and please learn about this illness and understand that we are not making it up, we are not crazy ladies, we have a very real and very painful condition. Finally I feel like people are starting to take this seriously and that gives me some hope. Again, thank you Erin sooo much for being brave and telling your story. It has gone a long way to helping us all. Thank very much and best of luck to you! <br />sincerely, J Stark :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
