These days I have to take a holiday from work, not when I fancy going abroad (like many people who book holiday), but when my body needs a break.
My energy levels are tangible not just each day, but each month. Working full-time with endometriosis means getting a sense for when my body is running on its lowest ebb, and needs a break.
No one enjoys illness, but nothing frustrates me more than becoming ill with something else when I am trying to recuperate from how endo drains me.
