I am truly sorry for my massive absence in the past couple of months so I thought I owed you all an explanation for my disappearance.
Well, if you follow me on Twitter, you may have seen me briefly say that I was suffering from migraines due to new tablets and, therefore, I couldn't stand to be near my computer.
I am currently receiving treatment for Endometriosis. It pretty much means, this is how it's been explained to me at least, there is part of the lining of my womb lying on top of some of my organs. It reeeally doesn't sound nice and it is horrible. This has pretty much been going on for 2 years, that means 2 years of cramps and bleeding. Oh yes, that's right, 2 years of Non. Stop. Bleeding. And you other girls thought that your 1 week a month was bad.
The pains I get are, apparently, like contractions except without the baby (sad face).
It all started when I began using the progesterone pill for contraception. As I had a high BMI (yea, I'm a fat girl *sigh*), I wasn't allowed on the combined pill so that was my alternative. I was on that for just over a year as I was told 'it will settle down, it's your body getting used to it' Total BS.
I was then moved onto another progesterone pill to try and sort it out. However, because I have depression, the mood swings got out of control and I began having suicidal thoughts again. Massive no no with me, I'm trying to move through it without any more antidepressants.
I've been on the implant for almost a year now. I'm still having the same problems.
My BMI has come down. I'm still trying to lose weight (I want to be a size 8. Every girl has their dreams) So yea, I got put onto the combined pill but I already get migraines, made about 50 times worse.
My next option seems to be surgery unfortunately.
I shall keep you all updated and I'll be back to writing blogs (hopefully) in the next few days.
Thanks for having so much patience my loves.
Toodles!
