(VIDEO) 'Jeanne's Endo Blog': Vlog #3 Endometriosis Awareness Month (Week One Recap) & Acupuncture Intro Video

It's March 9, 2009 and last night I recorded my third video. Vlog #3 includes a recap of Week One of Endometriosis Awareness Month. I also do a brief introduction about acupuncture. Acupuncture has helped me immensely for several years now! I'll be blogging more about acupuncture in the future because it deserves some "front and center" attention but I thought I'd touch on it today.

I didn't realize until today that 10 minutes is the maximum time allowed per video on YouTube. So the video this time is split into two parts. (Thanks goes out to my hubby for helping me get the video split apart and uploaded despite computer problems (some sort of malicious file had attacked my computer and probably has a great deal to do with all of the PC problems I've been having) and my not realizing the length would cause the video to get rejected by YouTube). I apologize... I'm still in the learning curve for making videos. So, please bear with the 2-part format for Vlog #3. I'm calling them both Vlog #3 (Parts A and B).





There are several people I mentioned in the Vlog #3 who I'd like to provide links to here:


Endochick of 'Endometriosis: The Silent Life Sentence'

Melissa Ralston of 'Endometriosis: Facing the Battle Head-On'

'My Journey with Endometriosis'

Steph of 'Living with Endometriosis'

Kelly Damron of 'Twin Peas Blog and Podcast'

(Amazingly supportive & talented blogger who is currently helping me redesign my blog in preparation for a transfer to Wordpress, supporter of the endometriosis cause who has helped us with our twitter campaign for endo awareness)

Rosalind Joffe of cicoach.com

By the way, you can still help Alicia with her Adoption Adventure Fund! There is another raffle (with cool prizes) going on now!


I have never in my life met anyone who wants to be a mother more than my friend Alicia.

Alicia & Josh's Adoption Adventure Raffle Ticket Giveaway.

Josh and Alicia are more than halfway through the adoption classes for the foster-to-adopt process they are pursuing now.

Finally, have you been tweeting endometriosis messages using #endo? I counted them last night and there have been 335 tweets in the 9 days since I sent out the first one on twitter. Those endometriosis tweets are really catching on!

If you are on twitter, please use #endo at the end of each endometriosis-related message you send out and help us create awareness for endometriosis plus make it easier for people to find endometriosis posts and other information.

"Jeanne's Endo Blog" Says: Smile! Happy Valentine's Day!



I was tagged by My Endo Journey to share 6 things that make me smile.

I don't normally do these (this is actually the only tagging I've ever done with my blog) but this smile graphic was too good to pass up... especially since it's Valentine's Day. :)



Six things that make me smile:

1. My amazing husband and daughter, who experience challenges in conjunction with my conditions daily and demonstrate flexibility, patience, and unconditional love!

2. My extended family and "in-person friends".

3. My blog... which is so therapeutic for me and which simultaneously helps other people. Helping fellow patients and local support group members makes me happy. Networking with fellow health bloggers is wonderful too. I have blogger friends coming out my ears now. :)

4. Acupuncture... which is totally amazing!!!!! (I have been writing a post with details about this forever. Stay tuned because I should be posting it soon).

5. When I find a coping mechanism that helps me manage pain (or when I use an existing coping technique).

6. Music and art. Funny DVDs. Robin Williams. Tori Amos.

I tag: Steph, Foxy, Mckay k, and Kerry. Enjoy!

RULES: Link to the person who has tagged you. (For me that's My Endo Journey).

Write down six things that make you happy. Post the rules, tag others and let them know you did it. Then tell the person when your entry is complete.

P.S. I was about to publish this when I saw that Endochick tagged me for this too. :)
