Hey, good afternoon, everyone.

It's Wendy K. Laidlaw here from Heal Endometriosis Naturally.

As always, I hope that this podcast and video finds you well.

The title of the podcast today is Tinsel, Tears and Trauma of Christmas Past.

It's near Christmas Eve and sadly, I must admit to feeling a little bah humbug.

This is so unlike me, but this year I've been struck at the mass marketing that goes on to promote an event about the birth of Jesus some nine to 10 weeks in advance of the actual day.

I saw some shops advertising Christmas and displaying Christmas decorations in September this year, and it felt that the essence of what Christmas is all about is totally lost to corporations and commercialism.

What also concerns me is the heavy subconscious messages and miscommunication about Christmas and family.

Many women with endometriosis may well be writhing in pain this Christmas day, feeling lost and alone and even being surrounded by family.

Overwhelmed by the cascades of abdominal cramping,

that is like a sucker punch to the gut, but never abating.

Sadly, many may also be surrounded by the people referred to as blood and family who show little or no empathy or compassion to the woman with endometriosis and merely give derisory looks and put downs with hurtful tones.

To be fair, how could they understand what a woman in pelvic pain has to go through?

As you know, I'm lucky to be able to be pain-free and put my pelvic and abdominal pain of endometriosis and adenomyosis into remission for a few years now, as I've explained in previous podcasts.

So I get that unless someone who's had endometriosis themselves find it hard to understand.

Endometriosis is a poorly misunderstood condition even within the medical field, although I am increasingly encouraged to hear that more is being done by the UK Parliament and medical professionals to try and at least understand

its painful and debilitating nature.
