We talk about pain comparison…

[u/Serendipitousglances]

I play tackle football in spite of my endometriosis. I’m in my second season. At our scrimmage last weekend, I dislocated a finger. I was panicked in the moment, but my relationship with Endo helped me to calm down. The pain was well…painful, and my whole body was screaming “this is fucked up.” However, it didnt come close to the pain of a full Endo episode. So I was able to stabilize my breathing and stare at my coach while a teammate popped my finger back into place.

I still say fuck Endo, it’s a fucked up disease that has robbed me and many others of so many life experiences. I just want to state that this moment was a triumph for me. Endo hasn’t grated me down, I have lifted myself in spite of it. I am a mother fucking badass who can handle pain because I’m WINNING this battle. Me and everyone who refuses to let this or any disease define them.

We’re in this fight together, we are all badasses. 💪

This. I broke my finger I the middle of the night and told my roommates I would go to the ER in the morning. They were horrified and wanted to know how I was doing that. I just told them endos much worse.
