Menopause, weddings, and family. Oh my!!

I always dreaded menopause, from what I had already heard, it didn't sound pleasant.  Going through it at the age of 24 is a whole new ballgame.  I felt so bad this afternoon that Jake made me stay home from my afternoon class.  Understandable I guess.  Last time I felt bad and went to class, I passed out, and had to be transported by ambulance to the ER.
The appointment with pain management went well.  My pain is SO much more manageable now, and best of all, I CAN SLEEP AT NIGHT AGAIN!!

I have been SO busy planning my wedding, but I am happy about it!!  I got my dress yesterday, and I am in LOVE with it.  It was pretty funny how it happened, actually.  Carrie picked up this dress asking how I liked it, to which my reply was "Eh".  Then not 2 minutes later, I come across this dress on the rack, pick it up, and say "I love this one!!" then Carrie says "Massie, you know that was the dress that I JUST showed you."  Haha, oops.  It was the one I ended up getting, and my grandaddy is proud, because I got it at a bargain!!  I also got my tiara(I will not be wearing a veil) and the slip.  I will be getting my shoes this week hopefully.  Jake also got my wedding ring yesterday!!  I can't post pictures here, because Jake will not see my dress until the moment I walk down the aisle, and we will not see the rings until we exchange them.

Also, in wedding news, we got our cakes/finger foods and reception site taken care of!!  My bridal shower was Friday night.  We got a lot of great stuff, and had fun with a lot of great people!!

Okay, now in my health news, the lupron shot + pain management seems to be working effectively.

When I am not writing about my OWN personal health experiences, I want to start spreading awareness of Endometriosis.  So my first step:  Get this blog more popular.  I have no way of knowing how many people actually read it, so PLEASE, leave me a comment if you are reading!!  That way, I can get an idea of how many readers I have.  Second: I want to get in touch with people who have related blogs/websites, so I can promote them as well.

If there is anybody out there suffering from the same illness, my heart goes out to you.  It is a tough battle, but we will make it!!
