Today was a good day
I just wanted to share what happened to me today and how good I feel about it. Well, I will start with last night I got sooo sick and couldn't sleep and was tossing and turning all night with hotflashes and nausea. I had a doctor appt the next day and so I was stressing about it also. So, this morning I got up and was still feeling just awful I was thinking of how I was even going to get myself into the car to go to the appt, but I made it. I went today for the first time to a therapist. I began to talk to her and mentioned about how my endo gives me such depression. She wanted to talk more about it. So, I told her how I have and still sometimes feel absolutely insane having and dealing with this illness. I went on to tell her how this illness as made me lose chances to do so many things and how doctors never believe me and act like I am crazy. Well, she told me she believed me and that she herself has luckily never had the disease, but she has treated many patients who do. That she can't imagine the pain we go through and that I need to remember that this pain isn't in my head no matter what any doctor says. She continued on with telling me that I didn't choose to have this illness, but was chosen, so I shouldn't feel guilty about being sick all the time (I was a big ball of tears by this time). It was so great to finally have someone (a doctor) listen to me and tell me that they believe me. For the first time in my life I am really looking forward to going back to the doctors office. I may never have great health and get rid of this disease, but at least I can have a clear, strong mind while fighting it. Thanks for letting me share this and I hope you all have a great weekend. Take care and God bless you all. Goodnight, sweet dreams. margaret |

Re: Today was a good day
Hi Margaret, so happy to here this! You know I felt something similiar when I was diagnosed with adrenal gland fatigue. I started crying because I was so happy that it was not all in my head and that I am not just lazy. It feels great to have someone understand, especially a Dr. acknowledging it all huh. Have a nice weekend! Lori
