Day 3 - Adenomyosis

In December 2015 I was diagnosed with Adenomyosis (still learning how to spell and say it)!

Getting this diagnosis was actually a relief for me. For years I had battled sever pain before, during and after menstruation. My periods were so heavy that I would need to wear double protection (tampon and pad).





But like many women we just keep going on thinking that what we are experiencing is 'normal'. Everyone gets cramps -
Everyone has heavy flow days -
Its all in my head -
Its not that bad -
Its normal to buy 5 boxes of super heavy duty tampons each month -

Well funny enough it isn't normal!


This is how the Mayo Clinic explains Adenomyosis
