What is someone like you doing on a SUPPORT forum??

Keyword - "SOME." It's easier to win the lottery than it is to get disability for Endo. Don't act like all women with Endo are sitting around collecting SSI.

>Here in Australia we get nothing like it(and if offered I wouldn't take it)-but we suffer just as much.<

Clearly you don't suffer at ALL, because if you DID, you wouldn't come here and invalidate people's pain and suffering and life choices that are none of your business with your haughty and condescending post.

>If your country didn't offer disability for endo, I would think those people on it would be working as per usual.<

Again, keyword "SOME" collect. The majority of "those people" with Endo ARE working and/or trying their best to keep their jobs, family, life together.

I am appalled that you would come to a forum such as this, which is INTENDED FOR SUPPORT, and lambaste those who might be on disability or who are having a hard time coping with their disease. Everyone should be so lucky to have such a GREAT time with Endo as you clearly do.

>And no, those on disability are not bad...I believe they just took the
>easy option.<

How would you know??!!!!!!!!! Do you know every single woman with Endo on disability and how she "really" is doing, medically??

CONSIDER YOURSELF LUCKY that you CAN go about your daily business - so many others with Endo cannot. Nothing ABOUT Endo is "EASY," including making the choice to stop/slow down your career because your health requires you to do so.

These women don't have a hard enough time getting nonsense like this from their doctors, hospitals, families, friends, etc. - they need to get it from someone else with Endo who SHOULD understand? Everyone should be so lucky to think themselves well - as you apparently have.

Why are you here? Shouldn't you be out working and thinking happy thoughts?
