Are you in pain? Right NOW!?!
There were so many moments when I would be sitting on google searching for any immediate relief to my symptoms. When I had nothing left to throw up, immense pain shooting through my abdomen and ZERO ANSWERS.
I was calling doctors and surgeons and specialists, leaving desperate voicemails to no avail. My mind was unable to focus on anything but the pain. I’m sure there are more than enough embarrassing voicemails left by me pleading with a machine to call me back or just remove all of my organs to take the pain away.
My go-to response when anyone asked me what I needed during those times, was a new stomach. And I wasn’t joking. There were moments when I prayed for death. The pain was so excruciating… but no matter how many doctors I went to and tests I had, none of the doctors I saw had any answers for me. Even bad news would have been good news.
I was so out of it mentally and physically, that I couldn’t even match up that this was a cyclical illness. It would last up to two weeks, and then it seemed that it came back before I was even recovered from the last bout.
I ended up having my gallbladder removed, and a colonoscopy all before I was 23.
Long story short, I was pretty traumatized by the entire healthcare system altogether. I finally had an amazing ER nurse suggest to me that it may be Endometriosis. I had heard that possibility before, from my OBGYN but her only method of an official diagnosis was…you guessed it, more surgery. I promptly refused and denied the possibility. But this RN was pretty certain of my condition, and during our conversation I decided that I would attempt a natural treatment method in order to avoid surgeries or further invasive procedures and expensive hospital bills.
During my time at Michigan Tech, I became a pretty successful researcher. I used this to my advantage to find the most reputable sources for personal healing ideas that wouldn’t cost me a thing. And now I can share these methods with you.
