Welcome to the final recap of my social media posts for Endometriosis Awareness Month 2018! Today we look at day 31 of The Endo Photo Challenge 2018 and the "1 in 10" posts I did for a different Endo Awareness Month challenge from The Endometriosis Coalition.
Day 31: Statistic
#1in10 women have #endometriosis. That is A LOT of people - approximately 176 MILLION worldwide! Why does it take an average of 7 years for people to be diagnosed when it is as common as #asthma and #diabetes?

#1in10 women live with #Endometriosis, an estimated 176 million worldwide. But, it doesn’t just affect those of us who have it. It affects everyone around us. The #EndoChallenge from The Endometriosis Coalition started today! What does #1in10 look like to you?

This is my second little blessing - now 7. She has been praying for mommy to be pain-free since she could talk. I try to protect her from seeing me at my worst, but I have been dealing with pain from #endo her entire life.

18 years ago right now, like literally at this time in the evening, this handsome man walked up to me in a little hole-in-the-wall bar called the Underpass in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ and asked me if I was a #DeadHead. We were both there to see a local #GratefulDead cover band, #AvalonBallroom. He worked with a few of the band members and I liked the Dead. I had broken up with someone earlier that day so my evening plans had been cancelled. The rest is history...

He has been by my side through EVERYTHING this relentless disease has sent my way. He has been both Mom and Dad to our kids when I’ve been laid out. He has taken care of me recovering from countless surgeries, procedures, treatments, etc. He knows what it’s like to live with the #1in10 and he loves me unconditionally and has never made me feel like a burden. He supports me in all of my endeavors. I am blessed beyond belief to be going through life with him.
