"Okay Louise, so what exactly are your chronic conditions?" Well, fictional person I'm so glad you asked!
I will explain each condition from my own experience because that's what this is all about. I'll include links to the sciencey stuff if you feel so compelled to read further.
Official term: Endometriosis
Louise's term: Stabby McStabface
Official term: Pelvic Venous Congestion Syndrome
Louise's term: Henning (the condition is about problematic veins. I started referring to mine as Henning, as in Henning Wehn, to make myself laugh. Sorry real Henning, I love you).
Official term: Perimenopause
Louise's term: Flash (sweat) mob
Official term: Vestibulitis
Louise's term: Ice picks in the knickers
I will expand on each condition in separate posts, including fun facts about my symptoms and the treatments I have had/am having.
The thing that I've come across a lot since living with and learning about these conditions, is that the symptoms are often very similar. Awww! They made friends! Other attributes that they often share is the causes are mystical and mysterious. There are also no cures. Don't congratulate me, I know how lucky I am!
I'll be back soon with my first post about Stabby McStabface.
