Endometriosis is a disease which affects 5 million women worldwide.  Although it attacks the reproductive system, it can spread throughout the body including the lungs and even the brain. It was once thought to be a "white working woman's disease," but current research shows that it can strike women of all ethnicity's and financial backgrounds in their child bearing years.

The endometriomas are the tissues, which lines the inside of the uterine cavity.  Endometriosis is a disease state in which some of this tissue has spread elsewhere, such as the ovaries, or elsewhere in the abdominal cavity. Endometriosis causes pain in some women and can also cause infertility.

I am doing my best to put more time into this site, for the purpose of bringing awareness to this insidious woman's disease. Too little is known about this, and women have suffer pelvic pain for far too long. Many lives have been turned upside down and affected so adversely due to ignorance and lack of public awareness. Doctors and nurses are still being taught that this "is part of being a woman" ... that's an old myth. It is unfortunate that this ignorance in both the public and medical field is leaving many women living with severe pelvic pain, other related disorders and infertile lives. ***Living with pain is NOT normal!"***

Many of the treatments for endometriosis can weaken the immune systems and cause a host of other disorders; polycystic ovaries, Thyroiditis, sensitivity to other medications, hypoglycemia, allergies, etc. Not to mention there seems to be some common disorders associated with endo as well; i.e. Irritable Bowel Syndrome/Spastic Colitis, Hypoglycemia, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Chrondromalacia, various Auto Immune Disorders, Chronic Yeast Infections, Myofascial Pain Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue and of course depression.

My hope with this site is to empower women who suffer with this disease, to find and expect the right treatment for them, speak their truth! And for loved ones, hopefully this will help inform you on this disorder, that can be quite disabling to women.
