Welcome to Endo Undo, and thank you for looking.
As you read in the introduction, my sister Ellen (you'll hear from her soon!) was diagnosed with endometriosis when she was 15, after nearly collapsing with unbearable pelvic pain during practice for the school play. Nearly 15 years later she still deals with severe and chronic pain. On January 1 of this year, the two of us embarked on "Endo Undo," a project of our creation to experiment with natural healing methods and to document our journey. We started a new regimen that includes a restricted (but delicious!) diet, exercise, yoga, and herbs (you'll hear more about all this stuff, along with other topics, in future posts). Part of our project is to share what we learn, and that's where this blog comes in. There are a lot of helpful endo resources out there, it's true, but not many that do what we aim to do. So...we hope that you find this helpful, inspiring, entertaining, whatever. If you have endometriosis (or if you don't) and are interested in hearing about our progress, please become a member and leave comments and questions.
By the way, we are new to this blogging deal, so please be patient while we work out the kinks.
Peace
What's This All About Then??
This blog is especially for women who suffer from endometriosis, but also for anyone seeking inspiration as they journey towards healing.
We (Clara and Ellen) are sisters, and this is our joint project. Ellen has struggled with chronic pelvic pain from endometriosis for close to 15 years. This project is our answer to her pain. We decided that, even if we can't make the pain go away, we would do everything in our power to activate the body's healing mechanisms.
So what exactly is Endo Undo?
It is a year-long quest for wellness. It is about being mindful of the food and drink we put into our bodies and about how we move our bodies. It is about where we rank our own bodies in our list of life priorities (and trying to get ourselves and our overall health back to the top of that list!). It is definitely about trying new things and having fun and building a stronger, deeper, more beautiful bond between sisters. It might even be about the reduction in Ellen's pain symptoms.
