Yes, I visited the online "Invisible Illness Sunroom" earlier today and I'm glad my post led you here. <BR/><BR/>I'm afraid that I missed hearing your story because I wasn't available when it aired on blogtalkradio earlier today.<BR/><BR/><B>So I'm really grateful that it will be available in the archives and I look forward to listening to it!</B> <BR/><BR/>Thank you for including the link that takes readers right to that archive of your talk today on <I><B>"Medications, Illness, Fertility and the Desire for Motherhood".</B></I><BR/><BR/><I>[Readers who are interested in listening to the archived talk just need to register with blogtalkradio and login in order to hear the program using the link Jenni provided].</I> <BR/><BR/>I'm so glad you found us here! If endometriosis is what caught your eye, I'm sure you'll find plenty to keep you busy reading. :) We cover other chronic illnesses here too. <BR/><BR/>I have had endometriosis symptoms for 26 years now. I'm 39 years old. I now have many other chronic illnesses as well. (Many of them are correlated to endometriosis in studies). <BR/><BR/>I just did a quick click on the link you so nicely included and I'm sure (without even hearing your talk yet!) that many readers here will really appreciate the topic! <BR/><BR/>Many of our readers have experienced infertility in the past or are going through it now. Also, endometriosis increases the risk for miscarriage.<BR/><BR/>Again, I'm really pleased that you found us here and I hope that you like what you see! <BR/><BR/>Obviously feel free to spread the word about this blog since I would imagine you probably know people who would find it helpful.<BR/><BR/>:)<BR/><BR/>JeanneJeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454649048120118507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-314299443408924142.post-59570321149575037282008-09-09T20:53:00.000-04:002008-09-09T20:53:00.000-04:00Hi Jeanne,I just saw your post in the II hub of th...Hi Jeanne,<BR/>I just saw your post in the II hub of the sunroom and anything dealing with endo always catchs my eye.

I love it!<BR/><BR/>Like you I am a big fan of "The Spoon Theory"! I was first introduced to it several years ago when one of my local endometriosis support group members emailed me the link to Christine's website.<BR/><BR/>Ever since then, I have distributed it to many people. It's one of the first links I put in my favorites when I started this blog in June! <BR/><BR/>I just <B>LOVE</B> "The Spoon Theory"!!<BR/><BR/>Christine has now actually got both a website and a blog. <BR/><BR/>The website is:<BR/><BR/><B>http://www.butyoudontlooksick.com</B><BR/><BR/>The blog is:<BR/><BR/><B>http://butyoudontlooksick.com/blog/</B><BR/><BR/>It was so cool to talk with her yesterday after following her for years.

Christine Miserandino described just what it is<BR/>like to be chronically ill and how to demonstrate it to your family and friends in a way that they just have to get it.<BR/><BR/>For any one who has not read it, visit her blog "But You Don't Look Sick" and click on "The Spoon Theory".<BR/><BR/><BR/>http://www.butyoudontlooksick.com/2008/08/the_spoon_theory.php#moreMckay Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18442323148923575037noreply@blogger.com
