I have this horrible disabling disease of endometriosis

by Elizabeth
(Houston Tx )

My heart goes out to all the women that have this disease because I know how you all feel!! I had a total hysterectomy at the age of 28.


It was September of 1997 when I had my first surgery for endometriosis. The day of the surgery the doctor did not even do a pregnancy test like they are suppose to do before any surgery.


He went ahead and did the laparoscopy but after the surgery I still was in so much pain! On November, just 2 months after my laparoscopy I went to an infertility doctor because I knew my clock was ticking and I wanted a family desperately!


So I went and she said I was already pregnant 11 weeks! How? You ask I don't know but if you do the math I was already pregnant!! I thank God that my baby didn't die while he, the doctor did the surgery because he wouldn't of told me.....I have soooo much to my story but it's too long to write it here.


I feel lonely and depressed which I know you all do as well....on that note I know we all need to stick together! I'm here if any one needs a friend cuz I know I do...... Thanks for listening :)
