Book Description
Angela Hankins Sachs has suffered with endometriosis for more than 20 years. At least 17 of those years were spent in darkness. Not knowing that she had endometriosis and not even knowing of the condition, she at times thought the world was right, she was crazy. Doctors have been taught for years that a woman must be at least 25 years old and childless in order to have endometriosis. Sampson’s Theory is the oldest and most taught. The menstruation fluid flows backward through the fallopian tubes into the reproductive cavity. Once there the endometrium tissue implants itself and grows. Each month when hormones tell the uterus to menstruate these misplaced cells also menstruate. This can cause severe crippling pain, scar tissue, and a host of other problems. Once Angela was diagnosed she made up her mind to learn all that she could about endometriosis. The more she learned, the more she knew that she had to write this book, she had to tell her story. She had to tell the world about the darkness and depression of endometriosis. However, she also wanted to bring light and hope to all the women and young girls suffering this destroyer of life, this destroyer of mind, body, and soul.
