Diary Entry #1

Friday January 13, 2017

       I woke up this morning feeling like I got hit by a bus. My entire body was sore from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet. I had a throbbing and intense headache as well. My dad came into my room and asked if I wanted to go with him to my grandmother's house and at first I said no because I was in pain. After lying there thinking about it I decided to get up and go. On the way there we stopped at Fred's. He went in and came out with a Peach flavored Crush soda for me. We proceeded to go to my grandma's. I was still having some pains, mainly in my legs. We did what we needed to do got food and returned my grandmother to her home. When I got home I tried to eat but I could not eat much. I could fell the intense pain returning so I sat in front of the heater. Well, that was not much help so I decided to return to the couch. 

       I  returned and began to feel the burning coming on. I put in some headphones and started to listen to music to distract me from the pain. My mom decided she wanted to go to bed early so I retired to my room. Well I get in my room and here comes all of the pain and burning. I lay there and try to ignore the symptoms that I am enduring. I pulled out a prayer and read it. It is very close to what I am dealing with and I try to say it everyday. I took my night time nerve medication after I finished reading it. Well it seems like after I did everything else began to burn even more. My legs are now inflamed along with my knee. My left leg, knee, and pelvic area is on fire. It feels like my leg is about to burn off honestly. There is this annoying and sharp pain on the left side of my head as well. The pain is now spreading to my lower left abdominal region. My endo belly is in full effect and has yet to go down. Most people would look at me and think I was 3 months pregnant. I had someone ask me a couple of months ago if "I was pregnant or getting thick on my own." Endo belly is a term we use to describe the amount of bloating we have. Some infertile women are asked if they are pregnant because of it. Over all today my main  issue was pelvic pain, leg and knee pain, and burning.
