How Mbride became Mbride.

Long story short? A drug called Lupron.

But short stories are never fun, and I like to tal.. er type, so here's the story, in a nut shell:

I was diagnosed in 2005 with Endometriosis. Don't know what is it? Google is your friend. It's a bitch of a disease. I've had three surgeries (and numerous procedures, including an HSG), my uterus lifted and the top of my rectum removed. TMI? Welcome to my life.

Really, though - being a 25 year old bride in medically induced menopause has it's perks. I can be snarky (sometimes) without repercussion, and generally speaking, I can get my fiance to do anything by saying, "but... Babe... I have cramps." My life revolves around what I can do without being in pain, what I can't do becuase it causes pain and the never-endng fear that I'll lose my uterus and left ovary by the time I'm 27.

So here's my blog. I'll post everything wedding and a good deal of Endo stuff here. I follow a strict diet and I'm always coming up with recipes that are low in fat and gluten free! From time to time I'm sure I will share those. Though, for the most part, I'll just talk about how I'll be the hottest bride to hit Fox Hollow's dance floor... like ever.
