Parenting with Endo?

@Eileen I can barely get out of bed to make a bottle and I just need to move the station back to my bedside
I am lucky my eldest is 12 so he helps but it hard when I can't get out of bed and play with my 2 year old baby x
It's definitely hard. My twins are 3 and so active. I feel like there's more times when I'm in pain than not, but I'm not ready for a total hysterectomy. I got myself a portable heating pad that clips around my waist and that helps a lot. Plus CBD/THC balm that I rub on the area that hurts, and if that doesn't help then Ibuprofen but I try to avoid that if I can.
@Lydia I’m so ready for my hysterectomy but my insurance won’t cover it so far and now I’m switching insurances soon and it’s rough
@Rylie which insurance do you have? I honestly never even thought about checking if it was covered by mine if and when I'm ready to have that done.
@Lydia I have Sanford at the moment but they are now refusing me iron treatments or blood transfusions if I need them. And I’m moving to blue cross next
Yeah the guilt is insane. I’m due for my first surgery and ablation soon and I feel like my son still depends on me for so much I feel like the worst mother in the world for needing to look at my own health and have a recovery period. I know it’s not rational but the guilt eats me up
@Elizabeth I’m really feeling the guilt been in bed since Sunday from a flare up and my cycle starts tomorrow
@Rylie I’m so sorry - the guilt is harder than the pain I swear
@Elizabeth I can agree with that one
Yeah because during a bad flare up I can barely get out of bed, nevermind feel like I’m nailing parenting. It’s hard but the fact you care about whether you’re doing a good job at all makes you a good parent. Sometimes as a good parent you have to just put your own oxygen mask on first. You can’t take care of everyone else until you take care of you ❤️
Yes endometriosis is horrible I have it and hate it so am with u girl x
