Our Pleas Are Being Heard

There is something to be said for all the information that is starting to come out about endometriosis. It almost seems like our pleas for help are actually being heard. I am seeing new information being posted everyday. I think that we may just start getting better care. I am looking forward to the EndoMarch2014. It is going to show the world that we are not giving up. We will shout from the rooftops and bang on doors in order to get the treatment we deserve. We suffer like many cancer patients do, yet we don't get the same sympathy or understanding. Our families look at us like we are crazy, or lazy. We are treated like we should get over it, suck it up, take Midol and get to work. If endometriosis were classified as the cancer type illness that it is, then maybe our the insurance company would pay more of our medical costs. We may be able to get on disability, as some of us are in the bathroom or in bed all day. Maybe we would have more effective treatments available to us so that we would have a chance to live a more "normal" life. Just maybe we would have national coverage of Endometriosis Awareness month, the way that everyone covers Breast Cancer Awareness. 

We can only hope that this trend continues. I am seeing more and more studies and news stories on our hidden passenger. As soon as I see them, I share them. I do my best to spread awareness and gain friends everyday for doing so. I love that there are so many of us that are standing up and speaking out. It would be wonderful to be able to attend the Endometriosis March on March 13, 2014. The scarves that I make will be around the necks of many women that are attending and that will have to be good enough for me. The march is just another way to spread awareness and I think that it is another stepping stone in the long path to finding a cure. 

If you would like to learn of all the new information that is beginning to circulate, join Facebook or Twitter and find me. Anytime something is shared, I pass it on. You can learn new things and have better conversations with your endo specialist.
