Lidocaine/Numbing shot

Went to the doctors yesterday for a numbing shot for the nerves/muscles around my right ovary. It was one of the worst decisions I have ever made. My pain has intensified and gone up the right side of my body. In addition to the normal ovarian pain, I feel like I've been bruised all the way up towards my ribs. When I was on the table receiving the injection, I had a severe muscle spasm around the area, so the doc put me on muscle relaxants also. I'm so sick of meds, I'm so tired of not having answers. I just want my pain to go away. For good. I'm fed up.

Endometriosis Awareness Month

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month. I am going to make a good faith effort to wear something yellow every day of the month. This year my goal is to make at least 100 more people aware of this illness, letting them all know that even though it's not something you can visually relate to, it's a disease that hurts. We as endo patients need to be strong and let others know that we are being proactive about the disease. Although I wish that I never had to battle with this and the pain that comes along with it, I'm proud to say that I've survived it, having had 3 laps, pain meds, horrible cycles and suffered through infertility. I'm strong and proud of it! Anyone who has to deal with this illness should be proud of themselves. And in March we celebrate this!
