Diabetes and hormones are such a fun adventure. Of course you get the “warning” about hormones- and diabetes and your period as puberty begins. But like I’ve shared, there was never a warning or talk about other things that could come up- like PCOS and endometriosis.

This post was harder to write. Why? Maybe a combination of writer's block, stepping back from health related things, and that I’m at a point where it’s not a series of events anymore. Instead of recounting events, I am in the now. Basically, I’m in limbo hoping that things will work out with my health. About a month and a half ago, I switched birth control and discovered that not only did I have PCOS, but I also had endometriosis.
