Hi, I’m Sauna Queen Sarah!
Living with endometriosis has been a relentless battle—a journey marked by pain, uncertainty, and resilience. For over 22 years, I’ve navigated the highs and lows of this chronic condition, facing misdiagnoses, invasive treatments, and emotional exhaustion.
Here, I share my story in the hope of shedding light on what it’s like to live with endometriosis and the eventual discovery that gave me my life back: sauna therapy.
19 Years Without Answers
The road to my diagnosis was long and filled with confusion. For nearly two decades, I experienced debilitating pain, fatigue, and emotional distress. Despite multiple doctors visits, surgeries, and various treatments, my symptoms persisted. It felt like I was chasing an answer that constantly eluded me, all while enduring hormonal therapies, pain management regimens, and lifestyle changes that offered only fleeting relief.
The Struggles of Living with Endometriosis
The physical toll of endometriosis is well-documented—chronic pelvic pain, digestive issues, and painful periods—but the emotional weight of living with the condition is just as heavy. The uncertainty and lack of understanding from others, even medical professionals, made the journey isolating. My battle with endometriosis became not just about managing the pain, but also coping with the frustration and exhaustion of feeling misunderstood.
Invasive Surgeries and Failed Treatments
Over the years, I underwent multiple surgeries and countless treatments in search of relief. Each surgery provided only temporary respite, and the medications, including hormone therapies and opioids, came with side effects that were difficult to manage. I even tried alternative remedies—diets, exercises, and an array of supplements—hoping one of them would make a difference. But nothing truly addressed the root of my pain.
Discovering Sauna Therapy
After nearly two decades of searching, I found what would ultimately change everything for me: sauna therapy. Initially sceptical, I tried both traditional and infrared saunas and was amazed at the results. The deep, penetrating heat not only reduced my inflammation and pain but also provided a sense of relief and control over my body that I had long been searching for.
I won’t claim it was an overnight miracle—endometriosis is too complicated for that. But sauna therapy has been the most consistent source of relief I’ve found in my 22-year journey.
Sauna therapy didn’t just alleviate my symptoms—it gave me my life back.
My journey with endometriosis has been long and challenging, but finding sauna therapy has been transformative. For the first time in years, I feel like I am truly managing my condition, rather than being controlled by it. My hope is that by sharing my story, I can help others who are struggling to find the relief they need.
Endometriosis might still be part of my life, but thanks to sauna therapy, it no longer defines it.
Much love,
Sarah
