  • My Second Year of Medical School

    I don’t even know how to start this post. It’s been a few months since I have written a blog. Sitting here in front of my computer my mind already feels tired. It’s hard to believe I am half way through my second year of medical school. In short, the last few months have been […]

  • Experiencing the Different Sides of Medicine

    A Personal Perspective The start of my summer has not gone the way I originally planned that it would. However, over the last few weeks and all that has been going on in my life, I started thinking about what I will refer to as the different sides of medicine. When I think about the […]

  • Reflecting on my First Year of Medical School

    On May 20th, I took my last exam of my first year of medical school. During the past two weeks that I have had off, I’ve had some time to reflect on all that has happened in my life as a first-year medical student. This year was filled with ups and downs. It started with […]

  • Exercise and Endometriosis

    When going through a bad endometriosis flare or a day of severe pain, the only thing I would want to do is curl up in a ball in my bed. However, during some of my worst days of pain and bleeding my life was too busy to lay in bed all day – just as […]

  • One Year Post-Op

    Today marks exactly one year since I had my first laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis and one year since I received my Stage 4 endometriosis diagnosis.

  • The Emotional and Mental Aspects of Endometriosis

    “It’s a difficult thing to sit with pain and just be. To sit beside it, acknowledge it and be whole in its presence. To experience pain in that way, I had to constantly remind myself that it wasn’t me. It was just a sensation. I was bigger than the pain and I could withstand it, […]

  • Going to School with Endometriosis

    This past Friday I took my first medical school exam in human anatomy. It was a tough week leading up to the exam – there is so much information to learn and try to study – however, I’m happy it’s over and I now know I can get through it for future exams. When you […]
