The courageous lady, who has always narrated how endometriosis ravaged her body, has revealed that she experiences adverse side effects taking the drugs.

one of the major side effects from all the drugs I take/ have taken is sweating. The medication makes it worse. Not sure if there are any other endo-warriors who sweat as much even in the cold.

She continued,

I sleep on two towels, with a change of 3 sleeping gowns or pyjamas, 3 little flannels. I sweat rivers and I still wake up drenched. This is how I've been chilling due to the crazy heat I endure. Thank God for my mum, she's been changing my nightgowns and cleaning me up every night. Can't sit up without pillows because of my back.

She further advised young girls not to ignore any signs of endometriosis, especially during periods.

I share these stories so that little girls/young women/mothers won't have to go through what I've battled or worse. Teach little girls that extreme period pain is not normal. Don't normalize this pain. Once we have these conversations, break the myths and taboos, we will be able to combat Endometriosis.

All in all, though I love how God loves me through it all.
