Continuing from Part 1, here is the next part of my M.E story. To read the first part, just click on the link below.

The last time I wrote about my M.E, I had suspected appendicitis. This calmed down after my hospital visit, but I was still getting abdominal pains that couldn't be explained. I was referred to a gynaecologist who suggested I may have endometriosis and sent me off for a laporoscopy (in other words, keyhole surgery).

It was the 24th May 2011 when I had my exploratory laporoscopy, which proved that I was not suffering from endometriosis...in fact, there was absolutely nothing there. All of my organs were healthy, there was no tissue outside of my uterus and the only problem my surgeon could find was that I had extreme muscle tension but could not find a reason for it. So I was still at square one.

I had just finished university when I had the operation, so I could spend the summer recuperating ready for the next academic year. Things were also looking up - I had managed to get another job at a clothes store who understood what problems I was having (and to be fair, they were amazing about understanding my health issues for the whole 2 1/2 years I was there).
