Ahem, since Facebook only has 2 poll options, I'll try again...

Does sex = intimacy?

This for an upcoming blog post so I'd really appreciate your votes. No personal information will be shared. Thank you.

This gif sums me up at the mo.

Last month, no PMT. This month, it's like I've been hit with a double dose. I've just cried for 20 minutes for no reason.

Intensely craving the M&S praline bars, can't find them anywhere😢

Dear period, hurry the eff up please and thank you.

Me trying to work out if something odd that happened today is down to endometriosis, hormones, lack of sleep, or something else entirely 🤷🏻‍♀️

[The Modern Girls Guide to Endo @Moderngirlsendo]

It doesn't help that for my endoversary, my period decided to gift itself to me and it's odd.

I'm tired, in pain, and emotional. I need a cuddle and pain meds (not that they do more than take the edge off now). I feel pretty defeated at the mo.

Next year, Endo buy me flowers.

One of the many scars in my belly button turned 16 this week.

Way back when I was first diagnosed, I naively thought that because I finally had a name for what was wrong with me, it'd be easy for them to fix me.

The older, wiser me knows that's not the case.

And the hell its gone through has all been under the guidance of people you're supposed to trust to help you. When it comes to endo though, it's not just the patients that are muddling along trying to find something that works.

I'm definitely feeling a little blue tonight.

Have you had enough of thinking, am I enough? Enough is enough. You are enough and so am I.

Only took him 5 weeks to follow my advice 😂 If I could take my own advice, I would but I'm stubborn.

Sorry this isn't an endo tweet & that I've been kinda lacking lately but I have stuff on my mind.

Have got some cracking cramps, I need to stop burning the candle at both ends.

Apparently the best time to ask me for romance advice is when I'm off my face on pain meds 🤷🏻‍♀️

Anyone else need any advice? Pretty sure I can conjure up a twee quote for any occasion 😂 and it's a good distraction from stuff.

And this is why he's one of my best mates and someone I know I can always rely on....

Nobody tell him I'm going to cry all over him when I see him though 😂

Happy Easter!

May your eggs be chocolatey and your day be peaceful and pain-free 💛

Currently grateful for pain meds and anti sickness meds. Also grateful that I only need my sickness meds a couple of times a month so I still have some left.

Not so grateful for being woken up at 5am in a fuckton of pain.

How's everyone else's bank holiday going?

Would also appear I'm at the point where my brain doesn't work so good and my typo game is strong.

I'll add it to the list of things not working/hurting although listing what is working/pain-free would be faster 😂

Just had a brief moment of panic because I thought I'd forgotten to renew my domain name but instead I completely forgot that if renewed it a while back.

I need someone to do the remembering things for me please and thank you 🫤

@Endit_Mendit Oh hon. That's okay too. I'm sorry you had to deal with that on top of being so poorly. People are arseholes. I'm glad you're back home and hopefully things will be a little better in a couple of days x

[The Modern Girls Guide to Endo @Moderngirlsendo]

@Endit_Mendit Ugh. Definitely not a fun experience for you at all. If you resisted the urge to punch them in the face, I'm proud of you. If you didn't resist the urge, still proud of you 💛

of not offering transvaginal scans to people who are virgins.

Have we gone back in time to a period when virginity mattered and women should be "pure" or men won't marry them??

I'm truly baffled and disappointed by this.

I've just read an article about a hospital in the UK refusing to give someone a transvaginal ultrasound because she was a virgin while she was being assessed for possible #endometriosis.

Umm... What?!

Apparently it's not the only hospital in the UK with a policy...
