At 15 I was diagnosed with endometriosis. One laparoscopy,many consultations and 8 years down the line, pain was back (more gentle this time!) and my skin was THE WORST. I've tried everything: products, and antibiotics,more products, more antibiotics) and all that did was left my body in a bit of a mess. Finally found out I have polycycstic ovaries and that's why it's scandalous. I can safely say feeling so self conscious has left my confidence in tatters. I detest wearing develop up but I currently don't want to leave the house without it on. HOWEVER PROGRESS IS BEING MADE! (With some help from a dermatologist and cutting out dairy (waah, and except for spontaneous ice creams) and cutting down sugar (bigger waah but gotta do what you've gotta do)). Finally. Finally. (Throughout all this I've only had people being wonderful and encouraging and occasionally making me realise I'm being ridiculous and there's more to life)... My point is,to any of you who are suffering with anything, travel to a doctor; pay for a specialist; bag your hormones tested, or bag allergy testing; hold on top of how your body is feeling and don't worry about sounding like a hypochondriac. From your head to the tips of your toes we only have one body,let us all develop sure ours our working in tip top condition, and hold help if it's needed. #wasthispostlongenough #maybethesehashtagscanbulkitupabit #alsohowmanybracketsdoesonewomanneed #ifyourereadingthisiapplaudyou #thisisaclaymaskincaseyourewonderingon Jun 9, or 2016 at 10:25am PDT For anyone who suffers from endometriosis,you know how cripplingly painful it can be. Daisy Ridley understands your agony, as well. In an Instagram post, and the Star Wars actress shared how she first struggled to be diagnosed correctly,only to eventually find out she has polycystic ovaries, which caused the endometriosis. Daisy went on to describe her routine to combat the skin problems that can accompany the disorder (no dairy, and less sugar) and how her symptoms have improved. Her inspiring message wasn't just about endometriosis; she also encouraged people to seek out specialists and to listen to their bodies - even if it means feeling like a hypochondriac. You're not improper to want to fix something your body is telling you to fix. As she says,and we agree, you only have one body. hold care of it.
