This blog was created because I have a heart for women’s health issues – specifically those issues related to the reproductive system. Not necessarily focused on the desire to become pregnant and have children, but more so from a quality of life standpoint. If a female is experiencing pain one, two, three weeks out of the month (which I was), that can greatly diminish the joy and happiness in one’s life. I wanted to share my experiences with endometriosis, fibroids, cysts and hormones and the information and resources that have helped in my healing and as I continue the journey of healing.
This blog is not just for girls and women who have experienced (are experiencing) the pain associated with the menstrual cycle, but for the mothers, daughters, sisters, sister-friends and males in our lives (husbands, boyfriends, sons) who love and care about us and went through or are going through this pain with us. We are all looking for a passage toward true healing – body, mind & spirit.
This is for all of the women – Asian, African-American, Hispanic or Latino, Caucasian, rich, poor, born here or born there – who silently walk and go about their way suffering and in pain. Doesn't anybody care? This blog is dedicated to you and all of us hoping that somebody will hear our screams, or are we going to go around pretending that everything is okay? Because truly if women are having health issues, ultimately it’s going to be felt by every segment of our society.
Sorry, I had to scream has a meaning outside what you may already be thinking. When I put “Sorry” into the title, it’s sort of a play on words -- in that I thought about how sometimes we as women tend to feel bad about being angry or upset or sad or being sick. But why? We have every right to feel whatever emotion we are going through. This is a banner, though, that we have been very good at wearing across our foreheads and it needs to stop. No one should need or want to apologize for feeling / no one should need or want to apologize for being. Be.
Is this a “heavy” and serious subject? Yes. The pain is for real and can be excruciating beyond what anyone can image. I know – Percocet, Demerol and Morphine became a Godsend. But on this blog, we are not victims; we are awesome and fabulous and will encourage each other through our struggles!
Don’t be sorry. Be powerful and “scream.”
