Enough

You know those blog posts you read that give you all the answers and a bit of TMI? This is that post.

Fifty-Two years with an AVM (Arterial Venus Malformation)
Migraines.
Disc bulge surgery.
Carpel tunnel surgery.
Hernia surgery.
Lost half my eyesight. 
Endo diagnosis.
Hot fucking flushes.
And a UTI.

Have I not suffered enough? Which do you think is on my one last nerve? It’s ironically not the hot flushes, although.

Death

Death

And death, let’s not forget death. Death ends all pain.

Although I hope we are all on the same page, that I’m wanting to die after a long and happy life surrounded by more cats than I currently have.

So, I’m not planning to get to the finish line for a long time yet. Openly discussing mental health is important. We need to make it a far less taboo topic so people that struggle more feel they can talk to somebody who will listen. I was having a conversation with another woman today about the crazy lady hormones. As I do.

Because they are driving me fucking crazy of late. During the last years of navigating the Plague, OK, Covid-20 I had another diagnosis. To which I’m not at all impressed with. I have endo (endometriosis).

And I think I was also told I have a high pain threshold. Because, I’ve apparently had a lifetime of that too and didn’t notice.

Probably a good thing I wasn’t trying to have babies……right? But the good news is when I hit the actual Pause, it stops.

Pun not intended there, the symptoms from endo, they stop. And I said to this woman, I should fucking hope so!
