This is a little bit late, but March is Endometriosis awareness month. This is an illness I know well myself, since I've got it too. It is said that 4-7 % of all women have this illness. The diagnose is very hard to make. It is a serious illness that can lead to infertility and can cause great pain before/during/after menstruation. Here is some of the symptoms of Endo (taken from endo.org):
Pain may be felt:
before/during/after menstruation
during ovulation
in the bowel during menstruation
when passing urine
during or after sexual intercourse
in the lower back region
Other symptoms may include:
diarrhoea or constipation (in particular in connection with menstruation)
abdominal bloating (in particular in connection with menstruation)
heavy or irregular bleeding
fatigue
The other well known symptom associated with endometriosis is infertility. It is estimated that 30-40% of women with endometriosis are subfertile
I am a HUGE fan of Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, and a even bigger fan of the two of them working together. That is why I absolutely have to see "Dark Shadows". The movie is based on a horrer show that were running in the 60's about the rich Collins family of Collinsport, Maine, who is tormented by strange occurrences.
Barnabas Collins (Johnny Depp) returns to his ancestral home to protect his descendants.
Here is what Warner Bros. Pictures write about the movie:
"In the year 1752, Joshua and Naomi Collins, with young son Barnabas, set sail from Liverpool, England to start a new life in America. But even an ocean was not enough to escape the mysterious curse that has plagued their family. Two decades pass and Barnabas (Johnny Depp) has the world at his feet-or at least the town of Collinsport, Maine. The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy...until he makes the grave mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green). A witch, in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death: turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive. Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972. He returns to Collinwood Manor to find that his once-grand estate has fallen into ruin. The dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have fared little better..."
Besides Johnny Depp and Eva Green, the characters are played by Christopher Lee, Helena Bonham Carter, Michelle Pfeiffer and Chloe Moretz
All I can say, is that I can't wait till the movie gets out here in Denmark, and i KNOW it will be great, because all of Tim Burtons movies are.. Who doesn't love "Corpse Bride", "9", "Ed Wood", "The nightmare before christmas" and "Edward Scissorhands" just to name a few? I can't wait to see one more of Tim Burtons beautiful creations.
Here is the trailer to watch. Do you love it as much as I do?
