Hello Friends!

A little about me- My name is Erin and I am 30 years old.  I am a mother of 2 beautiful boys and I have the most amazing and supportive husband!

I am currently living with  Endometriosis, psoriasis, OCD, PTSD, Gad, Asthma, Heart Murmur, Mitral valve regurgitation, overactive bladder, Chronic Migraine, Chronic fatigue, High Blood Pressure and Pure Hypercholesterolemia. I had bursitis in both shoulders at the age of 18, arthritis at age 20.  These are the current illnesses that I struggle trying to manage every single day.

I have suffered for many years due to my conditions but one thing I didn’t have that I wish I had; Resources.  I had nobody to talk to, I was afraid to ask for help, I had no idea what Endometriosis was or what I could do to make my life a little more comfortable and bearable.  So, here I am for ladies that need what I didn’t have.  I have had the surgeries, which helps temporarily.  However, what do you do when you have an end flare up?  What do you do when you are hurting so incredibly bad that you can’t move?  I have done my fair share of research but the truth is, every women is different and somethings work for some but not others.   Suffering with a  chronic illness means you are going to get tough.  Trust me.

My endo journey began in  2006 when I was 17 years old.  However, it wasn’t until 2016 that I finally had a name for my pain,  Endometriosis.   A painful disease that has brought my quality of life down to the minimum.  I have had to medically withdrawal from college due to not being able to walk or drive due to the pain.   I can’t pick my kids up or take them on vacations.   It’s tough but it is manageable!  I promise!

If you have any of the symptoms I urge you to see a specialist.  I was scared, I was unsure, I was ready to end my life due to the daily unbearable pain.  I still feel useless at times and I feel like a waste of money.  These surgeries aren’t cheap!  Neither are the things I use daily to help keep me comfortable.  I cry every time a medical bill comes in the mail because I know there’s nothing I can do to help bring in income.   Anything you are feeling, more than likely, I’ve been there too.   I want to give women the help, reassurance and resources that I didn’t have.

One of the most important things I urge you to do if need be… Don’t be afraid to ask for help.  I was stubborn and refused to let anyone help me and I suffered even worse because of it.  Life is now tolerable for me because I stepped out of my comfort zone and asked for help.

That’s what I am here for. Im here to help women that are scared to ask for it.  I am here for the women that are embarrassed, confused, feel helpless and loose their will to live.
