My Story…
My name is Yuli. I am a 44 year old wife and mother of 2. I have suffered painful and long irregular menstrual periods since I was 10 years old. I became anemic, depressed, angry, required a leep, painful ovarian cysts, constant UTI’s that were never UTIs, miscarriages, severe back pain, IBS, migraines, suicidal thoughts with very close calls and the feeling of constantly being over medicated. The only thing that kept me going was my children, until my body couldn’t anymore.
With so many tests, variety of specialist and so many prescribed strong medications, the doctors could only diagnose me with fibromyalgia. I was lost to the world and lost so much time raising my children and being a wife!
Finally, after hundreds of hospital visits, this triggered an emerg doctor to talk about endometriosis and with that my journey began. Weaning off every pill and starting all over again.
Sadly, my journey took longer with my endo diagnosis as I could not come to terms of losing something so precious. My uterus! So I continued on with 8 more years of battling my endometriosis with more pills, more trials, forced menopause, to then finally needing to give in!
After 2 years with a partial hysterectomy, I am happy to say that I feel like me again! The pain was once upon a time and I’m living my life all over again. There are times I wish I removed my uterus sooner but I truly see it being an indication that I am a strong endo-warrior and I held on strong.
