WHY WE HAVE TO FIGHT ENDOMETRIOSIS



 ENDOWORRIOR

Everybody knows about endometriosis, it affects many of our girls. But did you know the painful pain caused by it? Well, it’s not easy to handle it and I respect my endosisters. Endoworriers. It’s like a cancer but only with the endometriosis you never know when it will heal, when it will end or when it will recover. This is a mysterious journey that some of our sisters are going through.
This medical problem ruins one’s quality of life. The only option one may consider is to stop having a period. It pains as if you are being stabbed again and again like a million times right on your abdomen. Endo is so heavy sometimes I thought my inside is being cut off.

Well, today am not talking about myself but I want to congratulate my endosister Njambi Koikai who is now going through endometriosis treatment. I was touched with her Instagram post which showed how endosisters out there are going through hell to conquer the disease.



“….My period is around the corner. My right lung has a partial collapse and I've just made it out of theatre. God is good as that is always the hardest part. So I asked my doctor how many surgeries we've done so far, and he's like I've lost count Jahmby. I have an amazing surgeon. Consultant surgeon Dr. Odula. Anyway this is to all my million sisters battling this condition, we will get a cure. We will get relief. God is with us and stay resilient. Last surgery was terrible and horrific. Today I pulled through without much drama. Relax and thank God for your health,” Posted Njambi Koikai.

I wish our teenagers had been taught about this in school, Many of our girls are suffering with really bad pains and bleeding away from period time thinks is a severe cramps. Thanks to the endo worriers who have come out to shed light on this mysterious disease. It is incredible to see somebody so strong and brave who is able to share this with others. 

One Tuesday 3/10/2017, Njambi Koikai shared a post on her Instagram page….”Woke up fine. Giving thanks to the one true God. A bit of pain and my bum is sore cos I'm sleeping and sitting in this position, using a bedpan and can't basically move. This is because of the tube inserted through my ribs into my chest. First day is normally quite painful because the tube is a foreign body. I'll soon be up and about. I'm thankful because others around me are in diapers, drips, being taught how to walk. God is real. But my butt is so sore haki lool...tell you the things you take for granted. Farting and belching are big achievements right now because that means the extra air is being expelled out of my right lung. Enjoy your day and focus on what God has in store for you. Be encouraged.
My endosisters, you're not alone.”


I have seen you fighting, going for surgeries and come out energetic and I know soon we will find the best cure for endometriosis. If we can create endometriosis awareness then we can be in a position to fight it and win. We need to be strong for our endometriosis sisters who are going through pain. For the endometriosis victims, let’s be encouraged. We need to fight and win this endometriosis war. I respect you Njambi Koikai.
