Living without a diagnosis
I am living without a diagnosis for Endometriosis. We do love an accidental rhyme. It’s taken me so long to get to this point and they say I’m one of the lucky ones. I knew something was wrong July of 2020, it’s now April 2022 and I’m on the list for diagnostic surgery called a laparoscopy. So yes friends we are moving in the right direction.

TW Miscarriage, Ectopic Pregnancy, addiction (brief mention- non descriptive) Endometriosis A long word, difficult to pronounce. Just in case you were wondering en-dough-me-tree-oh-sis or as I like to remember: eat a doughnut by a tree with your sis.

Women’s nutrition. Healthy Food
A healthy and balanced diet is the cornerstone of a healthy lifestyle for both men and women. As children, boys and girls generally require the same things from their diet. But with the onset of puberty, which brings changes in the body and hormones, women have different nutritional needs than men. Caloric intake The NHS recommends that men and women of average healthy weight consume around 2,500kcal per day for men and 2,000kcal per day for women. Of course, these values can vary depending on age, metabolism, and physical activity among other things.

So you're in pain...
Here is the sequel to my first part Signs of an Ovarian Cyst: how to stay comfortable with one. Pain is something I have been surrounded with since about the 6th grade when I started getting migraines and then it was made worse when I was diagnosed with lupus in high school. So sadly, I am no stranger to being in pain. But having an ovarian cyst was pretty high up there on my list of worst pains. But it’s an invisible illness, like so many today, so you have to put on a painfree face and get your work done like normal. So here are a few of my tips for keeping yourself as comfortable as possible.

Do I have a cyst?
At 27, feeling pain in your stomach area is a lot scarier than when you were a kid, because now you have those dreaded medical bills to take into account. So when I felt what I thought was a UTI, I waited as long as I could before going into the doctor. But one appointment turned into four as we struggled to figure out what was actually wrong, because it wasn’t a classic UTI. After many pain filled days, we were finally able to figure out that I had an ovarian cyst and my urinary tract was totally fine (if not better than normal because ya girl got all the cranberry supplements). Having a cyst never even crossed my mind because I had no idea what symptoms to look for and some of them seem normal. So hopefully this list will save you an extra doctors appointment or two!

How to Be a MMOMA
Take a look at this photo. From left to right, these women are Master Esther Kraft, Grand Master Barbara Robinson, the author (Kathryn Carson), and Master Annette Mau Deane of Gentle East Martial Arts of Virginia. Between us, we've lost count of the classes we've taught (together and separately), the competitions we've medaled in, and the boards and bones we've broken. Grand Master Robinson has no idea of the number of black belts she's conferred over the course of her long, amazing career. It numbers in the thousands. She conferred all three of the other belts in this photo, too.
