If Only They Could Feel What We Feel!

I remember the day when I first discovered I had Endometriosis. I had been on a long journey with my parents and was experiencing a really bad bladder infection. Though my dad had stopped a few times on the trip, my abdomen flared up dramatically and I spent the whole 5hrs in tears from the pain. The drive seemed to make me feel worse and worse, with my whole body being cramped over, with no relief from going to the toilet or anything else.

We eventually got home and after some anti-biotics my bladder infection went away and the large swollen abdomen eventually died down.

Thing is, no-one seemed to get that the pain was still there. I went through doctor after doctor and none of them seemed to take me seriously. The symptoms even sounded vague when I mentioned them out loud but the pain was certainly real and I felt it every single day.

I felt like I had this hidden secret pain that was forever pulsating, that no-one seemed to understand or be able to appreciate. – I am sure you know what I mean!

I still feel that feeling of being misunderstood now.

A couple of months ago, I attended a wedding for a friend that I had for many years. It was a whole weekend affair and by the third day, my body was completely shattered. I was sore and exhausted. I had a fever and felt incredibly weak. We decided to leave early on the last day and I thought it would all be okay. Well, a few days ago, my friend brought up that she was rather dissapointed that I didn’t stay for the last day. I tried to explain that I was tired and that I just couldn’t stay as I had a fever. She just didn’t seem to understand. She took it personally that I didn’t stay for the wedding and she couldn’t understand why I would leave and that my “fever” was merely an excuse. It was horrible. I felt so hurt and misunderstood.

Sometimes, I wish other people could see what we feel. Sometimes, I wish Endometriosis would show up like a broken leg or a raw open gushing wound in our abdomen. Perhaps then, people would understand what we are feeling or how much pain we have experienced. Perhaps, a thermometer like you get in playstation games, where it shows your energy levels would be a good one? Mine was on the really low button that day!

I wish sometimes, that someone could touch us and experience what we are feeling, just for a 10minute span of time, so they would appreciate and know what it really feels like to have Endometriosis.

Don’t you?

I know that sometimes people misunderstand what we experience and I know that there is a sense of isolation for it but there is something that is amazing about having this condition…… just hear me out here :)

We are much more compassionate and giving people. We feel with depth and caring because we are so in need of that from others. I see this amazing giving and compassion in my facebook group each and every day. We have an amazingly united spirit in this group and it is amazing to have created it and be apart of it.

The biggest thing I guess I am even more appreciate of, is that we have an instant response and measure of what we give and take away from our bodies. We have an instant pain monitoring system in our bodies, that measures what foods, supplements or environments are good for us and which ones aren’t. Not many conditions out there provide such an instant response mechanism. This allows us to become the perfect guinea pigs for all sorts of things! We are the true ambassadors for health for all the other people in the world. Think about just how powerful that is!

I hope you never feel alone with Endometriosis and know that there is heaps of us girls with it, that can share the load and be there for each other. If you still feel alone and want some genuine support. Please join my facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/endonatural/

We are so united in this amazing journey of natural health and I am so blessed to be a part of it!

The Real Cause Of Ovarian Cysts

An Ovarian cyst is a collection of fluids surrounded by a slender wall within the ovary. Ovarian cysts raise concern among many women, especially in childbearing age. While the majority of ovarian cysts are simply functional in nature, some ovarian cysts can turn out to be cancerous. The first step of correctly diagnosing and treating ovarian cysts is to identify the cause of the disease. However, there is no single cause of ovarian cysts. Ovarian cysts can be triggered by a variety of primary factors and secondary factors. It is imperative to understand these different factors in order to seek appropriate treatment.

Primary factors of ovarian cysts: There are several primary factors and a combination of these factors which lead to ovarian cysts formation.

• Genetic predisposition: Genetic predisposition is often considered to be the primary cause of ovarian cysts as research has shown that the genetic pattern of women who suffer from this chronic condition is far different compared to women who have never suffered from ovarian cysts or PCOS. PCOS women are often predisposed to abnormal metabolism and the dysfunctions of cell activity. However, this should not be a death warrant as many times the genetic characteristics can be modified with the help of environmental factors and proper lifestyle related changes.

• Poor dietary choices: Different types of foods including refined carbohydrates, acidic foods and foods which contain high levels of toxins and hormone like substances can trigger hormonal imbalance and can weaken your immune system making you more susceptible to ovarian cysts. Similarly a diet rich in sugar and low on fresh vegetables can make the task of flushing out toxins difficult thereby aggravating your ovarian cyst condition.

• Weak immune system: Poor dietary choices, stress and sleep deprivation can lead to a weakened immune system. A weakened immune system invites cannot defend the body against ovarian cyst formation.

• Insulin resistance: High level of insulin can stimulate ovarian androgen production, which leads to the production of male hormones. This reduces the serum sex-hormone binding globulin or SHGB. The SHBG can in turn aggravate your ovarian cyst condition to quite an extent.

• Failed ovulation process: When the ovaries fail to release an egg on a monthly basis due to certain metabolic disorders and because progesterone isn't produced it can trigger the formation of ovarian cysts as the immature follicles develop into cysts.

Besides the above primary factors, toxins in the liver and blood and even environmental toxins can increase the chances of ovarian cysts formation.

The only way to effectively treat and prevent ovarian cysts is by using a multidimensional holistic approach to healing.
 
Unlike the conventional approach which deals with the inflicted organ or with the symptoms of the disease (and the treatment in often aggressive with a myriad of side effects), the holistic approach treats every disease as part of a whole by firstly restoring natural balance to the body while naturally tackling each causative factor which lead to the condition. In this way, the holistic approach to treating ovarian cysts offers a long term, safe and gentle solution without the side effects of drugs or the risk of surgery while ensuring the prevention of future ovarian cyst recurrence.
