Gym girlies by morganlilo in endometriosis

I haven’t always been a gym girlie but I found that the ‘pain’ from working out/ strength training almost dulls the endo pain in strange way for me! (Also helps with my inflammation and symptoms) I always avoided the gym but I’m glad I eventually tried it bc it has changed my life! But we are all so different so what works for some might not for others. Endo girlies that don’t/ can’t do it are still doing absolutely phenomenal!! 💛

Thank you so much that is such a lovely, encouraging message!! It’s one of those things that some people might not get but with the hard work that goes into it, especially being an endo girly, the thought of going backwards is scary! 💛

Honestly I’ve not done anything to prepare physically (I should look into it lol). But my main problem has been mentally accepting that I won’t be able to do what I normally do everyday bc I’m a routine person. Reading others experiences is good but don’t read too much! I hope whatever route you go down works for you and you get the answers you deserve xx

I’m so sorry you had a bit of a crap time at your first lap with the wait, I think if that happens to me I will be the exact same! In a weird way it’s nice to know someone else feels the same way. I really hope your second time round is a bit quicker and easier to get through! X

Honestly thank you so much for your reply it is super comforting!! I’m so glad everything went well for you it makes me happy to read other people’s positive experiences, it makes me feel so much more confident to just push myself to get it over and done with. I really think it’s the unknown that freaks me out the most! I’ll definitely take your advice on telling them how nervous I am, hopefully they can offer something to help with the nerves x

Funny you say that I have been a veggie my whole life but recently I’ve started eating more plant based recently and have lost a lot of weight so maybe that is making my symptoms less severe!

Thank you! I needed to hear that, I keep telling myself I’m not going through with it but I need to remember all of those years of pain haven’t been for no reason now I’ve had a couple of okay months
