Thank you for this documentary ❤ it’s really hard to explain the level of pain when the only option for your brain is shut down everything and you faint just because the pain is extreme. It took me 15 years to be diagnosed

I'd always had horrendous cramps every month and I recall discussing it with my sister. My out-of-touch father walked over and innocently said "You girls know that it's all in your heads, right?" I had never been so angry with him in my life up to that point.

I had abdominal surgery to remove my endometriosis 4 day ago. Only just realised the monumental journey it is; the mental and physical adjustments. I thought I was just an exhausted parent trying to balance job/life. Realising it’s essential with how I use my energy, and I should not feel bad about it.

I am happy to see that there is finally some progress in this field, and hopefully many women in the future will be spared the pain that me and other endometriosis sufferers have gone through for decades.. Not to mention the numerous surgical interventions, resulting scars (some of my cysts had to be removed through the abdomen), the need for medication and the associated costs... And then there are still the resulting disruptions to a normal personal, work and social life.
I wouldn't wish this even on an enemy.

Thank you for commenting :)

It’s a nasty chronic disease not ‘just period pain’. Sending hugs xx

Either hysterical or crazy, the only response men have to women. My best friend has extreme pains. Not every month, but when she has them, she is reduced to tears.
