Today’s 4 minute post op appointment really got me thinking…

I’m 7 weeks post hysterectomy and was basically told, “you’re good to go, back to normal duties.” 😅

I’m obviously pleased to be given the all clear, but I just feel there needs to be more support after surgery.

Everyone heals differently and reaching 6 weeks doesn’t suddenly mean you feel “normal” again.

6 weeks might be the guideline… but healing isn’t one size fits all. ❤️

What is Adenomyosis?

Why did I have a hysterectomy at 31? PMDD!
For years I felt like I was living my life around PMDD. The constant cycle of feeling like myself, then feeling like a completely different person, knowing it would all come around again.

After trying different treatments and living through so much of the emotional and physical impact, I eventually made the decision to have a hysterectomy and have my ovaries removed.

It wasn’t a decision I took lightly. I knew there would be a whole new chapter of hormone management, HRT and recovery afterwards.

And at just 6 weeks post op, I’m still very much in the middle of that recovery.

But something has changed.

I feel a weight has been lifted from my shoulders.

I feel a sense of relief that I haven’t felt for a very long time.

I know things may change as we continue to adjust my HRT and testosterone gel. I know recovery will take time and I know there may still be ups and downs.

But for now, I’m allowing myself to enjoy that relief.

I don’t regret my decision.

I’m still healing.
I’m still figuring things out.
But I’m hopeful for what comes next🤍.

Vicky Pattison is calling on her followers to support the inclusion of period-related medical conditions in the Equality Act. The 38-year-old was diagnosed with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) four years ago after suffering from crippling cramps, anxiety, and depression.

She woke up in agony during the night due to her condition and spent the morning recovering at home with a hot water bottle. The experience made her reflect on how difficult managing the condition must be for women working traditional jobs.

She recognised that her self-employed career gives her a level of freedom that others dealing with conditions like endometriosis or PCOS do not have.
"I'm privileged in that I'm self-employed and can take a morning off, but a lot of women suffering with endometriosis, PMDD, adenomyosis, PCOS and haven't got that luxury," she said.

"And if every month, they're facing these debilitating symptoms that leave them in agony, consumed by dark thoughts and unable to get out of bed... what does that mean for their jobs and their relationships with their employers?" she added.

She pointed out that while some bosses are supportive, many workplace environments lack empathy for chronic women's health issues. The former Geordie Shore star is now urging people to back an online petition to change government guidance.

The campaign asks ministers to add gynaecological conditions to the Equality Act 2010 Guidance as impairments with fluctuating or recurring effects. "If this happens, it will hopefully ensure employees disabled by debilitating chronic conditions such as Endometriosis are supported with reasonable adjustments and protected against disability discrimination in the workplace by law," she said.

The online petition remains open for members of the public to sign. ❤️🥹
