Endo updates..... how are you travelling?

[Mumszword]

Have had a busy couple of weeks FIL was admitted to hospital three weeks ago with vision and speach and co-ordination problems. He was then diagnosed with a brain tumor - exploritory surgery found it was not cancer and started treatment. DH two weeks went to QLD to visit and was FIL was transfered to local hospital for rehab. Two days after transfer FIL died Very Sad. So I then made the trip with DD to QLD for the funeral and have only just got back... So sorry I have not been around for a while.

I am just wondering how everyone is currently traveling and if they have any updates they would like to share. I hope you are all well and that life is treating you all good.

I am definately scheduled for end of this Sept for surgery. I am a little aprehensive about it at the moment - endo wise I have been doing pretty well at the moment with only mild symptons that I have been taking pain killers for

Its funny that having lived with endo for so long you seem to just learn to ignore the pain and symptoms to a certain degree and that most non-endo suffers would ordinarily be layed up in bed with the same level of pain. Somehow,I seem to cope with a whole lot better... Its funny when a person or a doctor has asked me about my symptoms - its hard to explain and measure what is considered painful.... as one persons pain threshold to another is completely different..... I suppose I liken it to anyone who has gone without knowing they need glasses ..... its only when they have their eyes tested and are given perfect vision with glasses that they realise how bad their vision really was.... IYKWIM??? I was wondering if I am just odd or do other people who have had long term endo experienced this? I wonder if this is why it also took so long to get a diagnosis?

Well anyway, enough jaw flapping from me..... I just thought I would stop by and see how everyone was travelling .....

Thanks for everyone who has taken the time to share as I love hearing how you are all traveling and progress in TCC. I find it healing for the soul to have a shoulder to lean on and be able to share the road you are travelling.
Well hope your having a good week
