Ideas to make money when you suffer from endometriosis


Many women have to stop work altogether while others are able to manage reduced hours and work part-time.  This obviously causes financial difficulties, and if you live in country where you have to pay for medical treatment then this can make matters even worse and can lead to increasing debt as well as added stress – just when you don’t need any more stress.

 

It often becomes necessary to cut back on things that many take for granted.  Like being able to afford a few little luxuries like having a haircut, treating yourself to a glossy magazine or buying those shoes you have seen in the sale.  Being in this situation increases the stress that is already felt by being so ill.
