After my diagnosis, my first two years of living with endometriosis was rough. I did not deal with my chronic autoimmune condition well. I was depressed, I secluded myself from others and was in constant state of denial because family and friends didn’t understand me. After a while isolation and depression gets tiring. I no longer wanted to be a victim of my condition. I decided that I would turn my pain into purpose by creating endoNme in 2015. After having two surgeries and one aspiration, I learned how to love April again. I learned to love the April who lived with endometriosis and not be the April who was a victim of endometriosis. I love the woman that I am becoming and pray that my experiences will captivate and inspire others, who live with chronic illnesses and diseases, that there is more to life than your condition.
With that, I was prompted to start iamaprilchristina.com because I’m not just a woman with endometriosis. I am in love with health and wellness and sharing any information I gain with all of you is so important to me. Obtaining a healthier lifestyle is key to a happier life. Thank you for joining me on this journey!
