Just a quick update for endo blog readers! Two threads have been very active with comments...
(1) The YouTube thread: "Monday, June 9, 2008 YouTube Video Clips --- Endo, Infertility, Chronic Pain, Pelvic Pain..."
(2) The followup YouTube thread: Monday, July 14, 2008 Jeanne's Endo Blog: YouTube Video Clips --- Endo, Infertility, Chronic Pain, Pelvic Pain... ***PART TWO***
If you have not viewed the chronic illness YouTube video referenced in these 2 previous posts (6/9/2008 and 7/14/2008), I highly recommend the video! If you read the 2 previous posts mentioned above, you'll see the video and the conversation about it.
It is emotional, touching, and ultimately uplifting. I can't say enough about it. I believe ANY chronically ill patient would just love it AND it's an educational tool for helping healthy people to begin to comprehend chronic illness (not just endometriosis but any chronic illness). It's very special!
By the way, the video clip is called: "Don't Judge- the saga of chronic pain" and was posted on YouTube by "booknhorsefreak" (a/k/a caiquecrazy, the screen name she used here on the endo blog). It's AWESOME!

Endo Blog: Infertility Resource Provided by Alicia... Tertia Albertyn's Blog About "Infertiles"
Today's post is easy because the info jumped right out at me. Alicia, an endo and infertility patient who posts comments often on this blog and is a wonderful friend, told me about a blog I'd never seen before... about one woman's struggle with infertility.
The following blog (see her blog link below) is written by a woman named Tertia Albertyn, who lives in Cape Town, South Africa and calls herself "an infertile". This is one very persistent and determined woman! After reading her most recent post and her bio, I realized she has had 10 IVF procedures done!
Before I get to the link to her blog, I should forewarn you there is some swearing in her most recent post: "How to be Good Friends with an Infertile".
So I wanted to give you a "heads up" since I made a point of asking for no profanity on my comment boards (see my June 29, 2008 post "Endometriosis Blog: Ground Rules for Comments, Google, and AdSense PLUS My Anticipated Response Time for Comments").
While I don't use profanity in my posts, I won't shy away from sharing Tertia Albertyn's blog with you... since I believe many of our readers will take comfort in Tertia's words regarding her struggle with infertility.
Here is the link to the "So Close" blog, written by Tertia Loebenberg Albertyn.

Whether you are experiencing infertility caused by endometriosis or other factors OR just trying to support an infertile friend or loved one, I think you'll find this blog interesting!
Infertility can be a devastating, isolating, and heartbreaking journey.
Sense of humor can be crucial when dealing with such a dark emotional subject as infertility. This blog (check out the bio) provides a wickedly good sense of humor, insight, and wit to a very real and painful condition that affects so many!
