I'm a Recreation Asst. for the city, working with kids with disabilities. I was a full time student with a 3.5 G.P.A until endometriosis took over my ability to continue on with a full school schedule. Once I find a treatment that works for me I would love to continue with my studies and be a special education teacher so I can continue helping kids with learning and behavioral disabilities. I have been married for 3 years to a wonderful man who has been helping me through my stuggles with endometriosis. I also have 3 wonderful dogs that are good at uplifting me when I am down and out. They are like my kids since me and my husband are unable to have our own due to me and my husband's infertility problems. We are looking forward to one day adopting a child once we are stable.
Finding relief to my pain. Getting my life back on track. Helping out the youth in my community.

WELL today I am finally 20 weeks pregnant. I'm half way there. I've been feeling fetal movement for 3 days straight now and it's amazing. …
I was having severe pelvic pain for 3 yrs. that seem to get worst every month,I talked my doctor into doing a Laparoscopy which showed I had moderate endo. After the surgery I had become worst and was put on a 3 month shot of lupron which put me in the hospital for 2 day because of the shock I went into from the pain. I decided not to continue the treatment and now 1 year after the lupron my endo has gotten worst and I have acquired more symptoms. I'm praying for solution to getting relief.
Have asthma all my life. Was very severe when I was little, I stayed in the hospital most of my first year. The older I got the better it has gotten except for when I have a bad cold. It had limited my ability to be very active in physical activity because of the short expansion of my lungs but I really can't complain. I'm just thankful it's not as bad as it was when I was a kid.
I was born with 100% hearing loss in my right ear and 70% hearing loss in my left. They did not realize it until I was 4 years old because of a speech impairment. They found that it was fluid in my ears so they doctors but tubes in my ears to drain the fluid with helped my hearing and speech dramatically. Recently I realize I had trouble hearing again so I had went in for a hearing test earlier this year and found that I was loosing my hearing again. 25% in my right ear and 10% in my left.
I was diagnosed with hypertention this year. I was hereditary. I got it from my dad who has servere hypertention. It has effected my eye sight plenty of time. I have become dizzy and had blackout off and on. No matter what I do I can't keep it 100% stable. My endometriosis illness has effected my hypertention constantly because of all the pain I be in.
Because of my endometriosis I am unable to conceive naturally. Me and my husband has tried for 3 year and were told by our infertility specialist that the only way we can have children is through IVF treatment (which our chances are still slim to none). Also my husband has his own set of infertility problems too so adoption is our only guaranteed option.
I was diagnosed with PCOS today. I always knew I had it but, I kinda put it on the back burner because I was have severe pain from my endometriosis.
I was tested postive for lupus by accident. My doctor was doing different test on me for carpal tunnel syndrome and my blood test came back positive for lupus so I was quickly referred to a specialist who did more test and found that I had the anti bodies but not the active disease. It's been a little more than a year since I was told I had the anti bodies and since then I have continued to have pain in my joints which had originally started in my wrist and fingers. Unfortunatly my specialist refuse to treat me because she says the disease is not active so I'm stuck trying to figure out what to do next on my own. I'm hoping to talk to people with lupus to get a better understanding of the disease and if I should be tested again by a different doctor.
October of 06 my doctor removed my gallbladder because it didn't work. I had to go through hell in order for them to even start running test on me. It wasn't until I got real sick that they ran the test and about 8 month later they found out what was wrong. or so they thought. Months after the surgery the pain has came back full force and now it is mostly in the area of the pancreas. I have never had a diagnosis of pancreatitis but I do have all the symptoms.
Just found out I had this yesterday (Jan. 29, 2008), just another problem to add to my list, I have been checked by three different urologist before they comfirmed this diagnosis. Because it's symptoms mirrors bladder endometriosis, the urologist will be checking with a scope during my upcoming Laparoscopy surgery for my endometriosis. I plan on doing all that I can to get my IC under control.
I found out yesterday that I am on my 5th week of pregnancy. I am shocked and was told for years I would never be able to concieve because of all my ailments. God has blessed me with a angel that is growning inside of me and has helped with my chronic pain tremendously.
