Endometriosis, you will never be a blessing

When you finally get diagnosed you feel all feelings at once because all of a sudden your pain has a name. Then you do all the research and the longer you have it the smarter it gets. For the past 10 years I have been dealing with being bloated. But now endometriosis bloats me constantly. I look 4-5 months pregnant. Sometimes more. I'm in pain. Endo flares up my IBS, my IBS flares up my endo. I avoid foods, I get bloated, I don't avoid foods I get bloated. I drink water I am in pain, I lay down, I breathe, I am alive = pain discomfort bloating sadness. The fatigue is real. The brain fog is real. The nausea is real. The pain. All of it. But what gets me through the day? My husband who also has something that cannot be cured. We stick together. We weren't friends when we started dating but grew to be best friends and each other's shoulder to cry on and lean on. I do the crying and leaning and he gets cookies. Everyone has their own way with how to deal with each passing day. I just wanted to write, you are not alone. Maybe the laparoscopy will help you but it didn't help me. Not one bit. I deal with constant weight gain from just breathing, hormonal mind games, the bloat and the God awful period is the worst now.
