The list of basic root words, prefixes and suffixes that follows is not intended to be all-inclusive, but will provide a starting place for commonly used word parts to assist in building a strong vocabulary. A combining vowel, usually ‘o’ is used to join the word parts and make pronunciation easier. A suffix comes at the end of the root word and also alters the word meaning. A prefix comes at the beginning of the root word and alters the word meaning. Root words provide the basic foundation for the word and provide the main meaning.

WORDS WITH ENDO FREE*Membership is free for a limited time.One of the fun parts of learning dental/medical terminology is making difficult, long, impressive-looking words understandable. Let us unite, not as women who suffer from endometriosis but rather as women who overcome and live free of endometriosis. We can decide to no longer play victim but instead become empowered as a united force to shift the reality currently felt, to one of possibility and real change. We are the creators of our own destiny and we can move beyond the endometriosis. We have a light to shine and it is brighter and stronger than endometriosis. We are going to unite to motivate each other and to help each other move beyond the endometriosis and into a state of being something far more valuable, than simply being a victim to a disease. Instead of uniting as women with a common suffering, we are going to unite to find a common purpose and a common goal – to overcome the endometriosis. You can move beyond the endometriosis and out of that state of feeling like a victim to it. You don’t need to fall into this trap of believing that it is forever. You don’t need to repeat the words: “I am an endometriosis sufferer” quite so much and bury it into the soul and identity of who you are. I get that you want to be heard and that endo sucks right now, but you don’t need to identify with it on the level that you do.

Women who are determined but physically weak. The endometriosis has defined us as women. It is one of not being heard, of feeling tired and feeling incredibly weak and deeply scared. We stand united in this strange suffering that we identify with. I am an endometriosis sufferer and fall into a pool of women who feel broken and scared. The endometriosis has become my life now. It is the leader of my life because after all, it is an incurable, all-encompassing disease that nobody understands. It decides whether I can travel, have children or dive into things that I have always wanted to do. ![]() It decides what I get to do with this life. It has taken hold and it has pushed past any hope I might have felt about living without it. I feel my determination for a new life wavering. I can feel it with its undeniable presence as it pushes at me, forcing me to listen. It is ever-present, ever pushing and pulsating. These are the words I often hear by other women… ![]()
