- Here it is. Something that I have never shared publicly online until today. Endometriosis has been a part of me for 13 years, I am happy to have the platform I do to be able to raise awareness about this disease. My surgery vlog + recovery will be up next week. I love all of you so so much. Xoxo, Lauren

#LAURENNORRIS #ENDOMETRIOSIS #ENDOMETRIOSISAWARENESS
I am a 61 year old African-American woman. At 53, I was finally diagnosed with an autoimmune disease after a life time of illnesses and hospitalizations caused by the autoimmune disease. When I was 22 I needed surgery. A doctor told me I was just anxious and take OTC medicine to calm me down. Six months and several doctors later I had the surgery. Women are often told we are being dramatic, attention seeking, et cetera. So very, very glad you finally got a diagnosis. God be with you always.
So many women, including myself, have endured medical gaslighting. The best healthcare I've ever received is from my university. During the short time I had private insurance, the healthcare wasn't great either. Medi-Cal and healthcare systems in general need to do better. Thank you for sharing!
Oh, Lauren! I’m so sorry you went through this but I’m happy to hear you have the answers you deserve! 🤗
I have found that female doctors can be some of the worst, from my own experience, if they haven’t had the same issues and they have trouble empathizing.
Get Well Soon! ❤️🩹
This is crazy. The healthcare system is damaged.
Coming from a girl who was told she was "making up" and "being dramatic" about having a blood clot, only to be determined later that she did have a blood clot and could've died, I feel you. As women, we are constantly ignored by healthcare professionals and it's something we NEED to talk about. Thanks for sharing your story, let's keep this conversation going.
Thank you and so happy you’re safe💖
I feel for you. I had over four surgeries for this disease. 20 plus years back, they didn't know much.
I was always sick or in and out of the E.R. All this happened after I had my Daughter.
I get the Endo stomach alot.
I am glad you finally got someone to listen to you.
Lauren u got this gril your awsome stay strong😊
As someone who ignored for over 20 years and finally diagnosed in my 40s. No one will ever know the pain of this disease unless you have it. I’m glad you are getting help. Prayers for you.
41 and was diagnosed 6 months ago with endo. But even though I am diagnosed I got no help so far so it really dosen't matter because with endo there's not much a doc can do. Yes, there's the surgery but that's not the answer because it comes back so yeah.
As a nurse watching this its brought me to tears, I'm so sorry you had so many horrible experiences. You should be so so proud you kept on fighting for your health. All the love Lauren love you x
I am one of your older followers at 54 years old. I had endometriosis as well. Unless you have it, there is no way to really explain it because there are so many different symptoms. But I want you to know you were heard and you are validated! I’ve been through so many things in the course of my years. After having my children, I opted for hysterectomy which may be controversial. Regardless of what you choose to do with your body, I want you to know that you have a huge following of supporters myself included. I am so very sorry you’ve had to endure this, especially in private. I will say you’re one of the few people that will share things online in hopes of helping other people whether it was Elle’s sickness or now your own. I will be praying for your path. You are strong you are beautiful and you are amazing. God made you and you are perfect!💕
53 here
I’m turning 50 next week. The way she was dismissed was awful.
I agree. Happy Birthday!
🙋♀️56 over here😎 I am horrified by how this sweet woman has been treated!!!😡🤯❤️🩹
I am so happy to see that there are other “older followers” of Lauren! I have raised 2 boys and I love them dearly, but if I had been blessed with a daughter, I would have loved a daughter like Lauren. So happy to see other older women following her!!
Lauren, I am so sorry you went through all that with health care professionals. It is sickening how women are consistently ignored and mistreated, and the conditions that affect us are under researched. I wish you all the best and hope you have better experiences from now on!
💛🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️
I cannot FATHOM how health professionals can push their notions of “you’re making it up” on us. I feel such rage too when I think about people not thinking Endometriosis is not important enough to do more research on.. I’m so so sorry you had to go through that, sending you all my hugs Lauren😭💓 ..
To all the women who are going through endometriosis, please please PLEASE consider going to Penang! I just got endometrial surgery myself, and multiple friends have recommended me go there to do this since they experienced a successful surgery themselves. The doctors were quick to diagnose, and they told me sooo many women go through endo! for me, in total with all the checkups, I think would total up to around 28000 Ringgit or less, incl all surgery fee, hospital room fee, food in the wards, medicine when you’re a patient (which would be: arnd 6000 dollars I think)
I had my own long journey w Endometriosis so I thought I’d share in case this can help someone, anyone. I’m truly looking forward to be healthy❤sending love to all women struggling with menstrual pains/ any reproductive pains!
Thanks for the video Lauren! Stay healthy and happy recovery!
Sweet girl, I'm so sorry that our healthcare system failed you so many times. But I so greatly admire your courage in sharing your story. I watched your college vlogs while I was in college and your joy was always a great comfort and inspiration to me in the hard times that come with being a college student. I don't have endo, but I've always struggled with horribly painful periods. Having your pain belittled and dismissed is one of the most humiliating and dehumanizing experiences that anyone can go through, and unfortunately so many of us women have experienced it at one point or another. I went to the student health center for a UTI once and the doctor told me that the only thing he could do for me was prescribe birth control... No recognition of my horrible pain (I was weeping) & no bothering to really look into the issue (which in my case was easily identifiable and treatable). I'm so proud of you for advocating for yourself, even when you felt like you couldn't. I'm so glad to see that you're finally getting some answers. Keep smiling & keep being your beautiful self
As someone else who has endo, I know exactly how you feel....it's the worst and most excruciating pain I constantly have (even when I'm not on my period) and there is only one medicine called "celebrex" which is an anti-inflammatory that helps with the pain for but not for long and then I'm back in pain again. I just want it to go away but there's nothing I can do rn. I'm praying for you and hope you get well ❤❤
Thank you so much Morgan💖🎗️ praying for your pain and for healing
@@TheLaurenNorris Thank you so much Lauren 🎗💛
💛🎗️
My dr are ignoring me when I told my pain started after my period 😢😢😢😢
💛it is frustrating as women that we are told to "wait and see" or "this is normal" about all things pertaining to our reproductive health. Thank you for sharing and setting an example to be an advocate for your own health. I hope your recovery is smooth. I am 26 and seeking proper help for my own set of feminine health issues. You are NOT alone!
Hearing everything you had to go through is so heartbreaking.. I'm so glad someone finally listened and you were able to get the help you've needed. Hoping you have a speedy recovery. Thank you for sharing your story, you are so brave and strong for spreading awareness on this topic!
My heart goes out to you, your family, and Will. Wishing you a speedy and healthy recovery. 🙏
I almost started crying when I saw your Instagram post.
Oh Lauren, I am so sorry you had to go through all of that. As a fellow chronic illness girly, I feel your pain of not being believed. But you, and only you, know your body best. Your struggles are real and valid, and I am SO glad you finally got the care you needed and deserved. I'm so proud of you for being an advocate for yourself, that's so hard. But you did it! 💓Wishing you a speedy recovery, the best of luck with moving forward with your care management, and stable health overall moving forward. You got this! We're here for you 💖
We are all on your side and are here to support you! You are such a warrior queen and thank you for the video! love and support you always!
I’m so sorry that you had to go through all of that, you’re so strong going through all of that. So happy you got the surgery! Praying that you’ll feel much better 💝💝
Oh my goodness, I wanted to hug you so bad at so many points during this. 🥺 what a nightmare. So glad you finally got the help you deserve!
I am sending so much love your way. My heart hurts hearing how doctors have treated you in the past, you deserved to be heard at 13 years old just like you were heard this month. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing ❤
Lauren,
I'm so sorry that you had to go through this awful experience. I'm so proud of you for sharing your story. We are all here to listen and support you through all of this
thank you for sharing this with us lauren💗 you are so incredibly strong🫶🏽 i’m praying for you to have a quick and healthy recovery💛🎗️
I was diagnosed with stage 2 Endometriosis in 2020 when I had my laparoscopy surgery. It’s so sad but I remember feeling happy when they told me they found it. Years of my life spent feeling crazy because I had pain that no one could see or understand. Unfortunately I am one of the unlucky who has infertility because of this condition. If I could go back in time, I would freeze my eggs. We’ve done fertility treatments with no success yet. I will say, the surgery helped my pain a ton but recently my symptoms are coming back which isn’t uncommon as there is no cure. I wish you the very best in your recovery! Thank you for being open with your story! Endometriosis isn’t talked about enough so I appreciate you using your platform to speak on it.🎗️
I was shocked to see this title under one of your videos Lauren. I originally found your channel because I was insecure about starting college a little bit older and stumbled upon your videos. I was happy to be able to relate to someone who was the same age I was when starting at a university and have been a subscriber since, your videos made me feel a lot better. Saddened to know we relate on more than just that now, I actually flew to New York City for the first time this past Christmas to have my first Endometriosis surgery after suffering and being gaslit since I was 12, I'm 24 now. I wish you nothing but the best and hope your surgery brings you peace and healing. Prayers and love from Arizona.
Sending so much love and positivity your way! 💛✨I wish you a speedy recovery, and really hope your symptoms will ease up. 🙏🏻 Being gaslit by healthcare professionals is still such a big problem around the world, and I’m so sorry you had to go through that!😔
Thank you so much for being so strong, inspiring, and also for teaching me about this disease. I hope you feel better soon and know we are all praying for you!! ❤❤
As a fellow Endometriosis sister ;) something you may want to talk to your doctor about is if you possibly have IBS as well. I have Endometriosis, IBS and Interstitial Cystitis. A lot of women have those three diagnosis because they tend to come together. Your IBS and Endometriosis could be exacerbating each other. Wishing you all the best and hoping you feel so much relief after your surgery. 💗💗
I will for sure write this down to ask my Dr at my follow up appointment next week, thank you!💛🎗️
Endo can also come with pelvic floor issues and bladder issues. I’ve been reading a book this month called Beating Endo which has been so helpful talking about treating all these endo-related issues together. I’m diagnosed w pelvic floor dysfunction but never really heard of endo before this month actually so have been looking into it.
Lauren, you are truly one of the sweetest people and knowing how you been treated and feel breaks my heart. I was gaslit for many years over my PCOS. While it’s not exactly the same healthcare professionals need to understand if we say something is wrong something is wrong! We will pray for you on your journey!
You’ve been through so much. So pleased for you that you finally got answers and wishing you a healthy recovery and that in the future you can find some comfort. Sending you the biggest hug. Thank you for sharing your story. 💛
I am so sorry that you've been going through this for so long! I'm beyond happy that you finally got the help you needed after all these years. I think it's beyond brave of you to share your story here. I hope things only get better from here on out because you're such an incredible person. The way you keep things real is beyond inspiring and the world needs more real. Praying for a speedy recovery for you and a lot less pain!
I luckilu have not had any issues like this personally but I cannot express how important this video is! It is sooo important that woman share these experiences!
I know that feeling of thinking it is all in your head.. NO. Continue to advocate for yourself. Sending hugs, and prayers ❤❤
Thank you for using your platform to share your personal story. I’m so sorry for what you had to go through trying to get a diagnosis. I wish the best of luck and a fast recovery/ healing process for you 💛
Thank you for sharing your story with us, Lauren! It is so important to advocate for your health! I am so glad you are in NYC where the best doctors in the world practice medicine! Keep sharing your journey with all who will listen! You are so loved and appreciated for all that you do! Love you dearly! 💛💛💛
People that don’t have chronic pain have no idea the emotions that overflow when you’re validated by a physician! I’m in the process of my diagnosis for Endo too after being diagnosed with PCOS. Your video gives me hope that I’ll eventually get diagnosed! You’re a role model and I appreciate your sharing this story. Thank you so much. Currently crying😂 congratulations on your diagnosis.
this story makes me sad to be a girl. i’m so sorry that you had to suffer for so long lauren. praying for a speedy recovery and (hopefully!) less pain 🫶🏻
Thank you so much Lauren. I love how open and honest you are with your community. As someone sturggling with endometriosis as well, I completely understand your pain and your struggle. Thank you for spreading awareness.
Praying for you!!💕💕 wishing you a speedy recovery. So happy you finally have answers!🥺💗 love you Lauren!!
This is so disheartening.. So proud of you for advocating for yourself. I’m so sorry you experienced this, you did not deserve it. You are not crazy you know your body. I’m so glad you pursued this.
💛 Lauren, I am an RN and mom to 4 girls. I’m so sorry that you have been ignored for years. Now you live in a city with some of the best doctors in the world. So thankful that you kept pushing for answers and good medical care. You deserve that.
Lauren, I’m so sorry you have gone through this. You are so strong and so brave! Sending all my love and prayers 🦋🩷
Bless your sweet heart!! I am 45, and I have had a lifetime of absolute nonsense from our American healthcare system. If I can give any advice it is NEVER stop advocating for your health because nobody else will. I have dealt with endometriosis,PCOS, ovarian cysts, and thyroid problems. Nobody listened to me and I finally found a specialist that took me seriously. I went through a thyroid cancer scare last year on top of everything else. And endometriosis is not rare. I have it, my daughters have it, and my mom has it. My mom hemorrhaged when she was in her early 30’s and it could have easily taken her from us. Never stop fighting for your health! 🩷🩷🩷
this is one of the reasons why i watch ur videos and look up to u💛you are so strong and such an amazing and powerful woman! i will keep u in my prayers and wish u the best in this journey sweet lauren🌼⚡️💛🥂
When you’ve shared little bits on prior videos, I thought that it sounded like you may have endo. I have severe endometriosis, myself. I finally had a full hysterectomy at 25, after THIRTEEN surgeries for it. I am glad you’re getting answers. It is intense. I know that the right doctors have made a world of difference for me. Huge hugs to you! ❤
As a healthcare professional and a girl with PCOS, I am so sorry you're journey went down the path it did. But I am SO proud of you for never giving up. You are an inspiration and sharing your story makes other women feel seen and for that...thank you ❤️ 🎗
Thank you for sharing your story 💛 I know how hard it can be, especially when you keep being told again and again that it's not real. It leaves you in an extremely vulnerable place when you do find the courage to share it. I have admired your strength and get-it-done attitude since I first started watching your videos. This here shows me what a wonderful human you are and the resilience to not let yourself down and keep trying even after encountering so little help is inspiring. Wishing you a smooth recovery and again thank you 💛
I am so sorry you went without answers for so long. May you have an easier recovery. Sending love and prayers your way.❤🙏💛
wishing you a speedy and healthy recovery 💗💗🎗
Thank you Holly🎗️💖
This is the prime example that you can never see what people are going through. I am so happy to hear that you finally got some relief Lauren. Hopefully from this point on you wouldn't have to struggle as much as you have. 💛🎗
I'm so sorry for everything you've been going through Lauren. I am sending Hugs, love, and healing prayers.
My heart breaks for you girl!! 🥺🥺 I’m literally crying along side with you. 😭😭 there’s so many of us who are here for you (and love you) when you need to vent or whatever else you need. ❤❤❤
We love you Lauren and we appreciate you being vulnerable to us ❤. Many women go through this, so please know you are not alone :)
I am so sorry you went through this. I had a grapefruit size tumor on y uterus and had to have an hysterectomy. My situation was different but please know you are not alone
As a fellow endo sufferer also i just wanna say im so happy for you to finally have answers! Being gaslit for so long is something we shouldn’t have to go through but i take my hat off to you for being persistent and knowing your body ❤ you are so so strong and please don’t forget it! The endo community is a amazing supportive one so know we are all supporting you and sending you love for a speedy recovery 🎗️
So so so proud of you for posting this ❤ wishing you all the best moving forward!
Oh Lauren! I am so so sorry you went through this.... I Hope this brings you the relief you so desperately need. I too, have been gaslit by medical professionals and like you, after getting answers, wanted to scream from the rooftops what happened. I am so glad you are using your platform to share your story and not only take ownership of it for yourself but hopefully will help others with it as well. You are loved!
I’m an OR nurse and we do these surgeries regularly! There are only a handful of surgeons in the country who do this type of surgery and I’m so glad you were able to have this done! I’m proud of you for speaking up!❤
Wow your story sounds like mine!!! Hope you get to feeling better. And a speedy recovery!!!
I am sooo sorry you are going through this and I know it is very real.. thank you for opening up on your platform to inform girls that if something isn’t right then to be their own advocate and get answers! Wishing you relief and a speedy recovery 💗💗💗
My heart goes out to you!
not only it is the worst feeling and worst pain. the gaslight we've been going through again and again and again!
You are so strong and amazing !
wishing you a quick healing!
As someone who deals with chronic pain, my heart goes out to you. I’m so sorry that medical professionals have treated you so poorly, but I’m thankful you got answers. You have the best support system and all of us are in your corner cheering you on! Love and hugs! 🥰
I'm 41, and was only officially diagnosed with PCOS at 36 and finally started receiving actual treatment for it. There were years of absolutely torturous periods and pain that I will never get back because my previous healthcare providers didn't care about my quality of life and blamed all my issues on my weight. They were too busy fat shaming me to even diagnose me with the chronic metabolic disorder that was affecting my weight. Thanks for sharing your story, we need to be more open and honest about women's health issues and this is a great example to set for younger women!
I’m so glad you finally got answers. I’m so sorry you had to go through so much medical trauma to get those answers. You will be in my thoughts and prayers as you recover.
I’m so happy that you finally found an answer and doctors that make you feel validated! Good luck on your recovery ❤️❤️💛💛🎗️🎗️
I was diagnosed with pcos at 17. We get no answers or no help. We’re left to figure things out on our own. Hundreds of dollars on supplements and trying to figure out what diets work. I feel like I’ll always be in this battle. Thank you for opening up with us, it helps so much to know I’m not alone 💓 prayers sent to you and every woman in these comments going through these things 💓
Watch Dr. Ken Berry's RUclips channel on PCOS 😊
That’s currently what I’m going through. I was diagnosed with endo and pcos at 16 and I’m 23 now still trying to find answers
Best management would be birth controll pills as long as you are not trying to get pregnant, and, as I understand the US just released an OTC FDA aproved pill so you could give it a shot?
Also, theres surgical management if you are trying to get pregnant where they basically pop each od the cysts
This is so inspiring🩷.. I found out after my miscarriage that I have PCOS. It’s been hard for us to get pregnant. I’m trying to change my lifestyle and going gluten free to try to help it. I completely understand the irregular periods, makes things really difficult. Thank you for sharing your story 😊
I am also gluten free and it has helped with flair ups so much!!
sending you so much love. glad someone finally listened to you🎗️💛
I’m so so proud of you for getting the help you needed. I’m sorry it took you so long to feel confident and comfortable to do so, but please take the time you need to heal from surgery. 💛🎗️
As someone with PCOS, I've had countless awful OBGYN experiences. I am so deeply sorry for what you've been through. Women, people of color, people in larger bodies, etc. are constantly gaslit and dismissed by health professionals, which is deplorable. Medicine was never designed to ensure that EVERYONE got the care they need, and we need to advocate for change. The field of medicine needs to DO BETTER. This is a great example of how the patriarchy, how fatphobia, how racism shows up in such deep embedded ways in our society. Thank you so much for sharing your story.
sending pure love and magical blessings your way, sweet soul 🌷
Thank you so much angel💖🎗️
Thank you for sharing this 💛🎗️ I hope you have a quick recovery. It's so hard to have doctors not believe you and I'm glad you finally found one that did.
You are so brave Lauren, and shared so beautifully. Thank you. I hope you recover quickly and I hope the surgery takes away your pain.
It breaks my heart that you would rather feel extreme intense pain than go to the ER and deal with a medical staff that doesn’t believe you 💔 That should NEVER happen… EVER. It’s happened to me and it’s a horrible feeling and like you, I figured out myself what was going on and it turned out I was right. You are so, so stong and brave, amazing job at being your own advocate until you got answers!
Moving to New York led to this healing. I am so thankful that you finally got answers and treatment.
I didn’t even think about that😭🥺 it truly did. This move has helped me in so many ways.
I’m so glad you were able to finally get help. As a person with chronic pain from a rare bone disease, I understand all of the pain and gaslighting and doctors saying I’m making it up just as you said. I finally had someone believe me a few years ago and have gotten some help myself. Hope your recovery goes smoothly! 💛🎗️
I’m so sorry for all that you have gone through but am so happy that you have found a dr to help. Thinking of you and praying for a speedy recovery. Lots of love 💛🙏🏻💛
Please report the OBGYN that told you that endometriosis isn’t real to the medical board. They need to be held accountable for providing false information that could lead to other medical concerns for patients. As a psychotherapist, I have had women in my office who were treated like you were. They developed anxiety, depression, and a clinical mistrust of the medical community. These doctors caused them to develop mental health disorders bc they were told they were liars, dramatic, immature, and sometimes pill seeking addicts! It’s horrible what you went through. Thank you for bei my so transparent for the young women who are your peers and those who look up to you as a mentor & someone to aspire to be. I pray that the remainder of your endometriosis journey is a better one and that the doctors that made you feel less than, see your story and they apologize for causing you 13 years of unnecessary trauma and pain.
This is INFURIATING. Women are constantly disregarded and our concerns about our health are thrown back at us as being dramatic or over exaggerated. I’m so sorry that you were treated this way by licensed medical professionals.
My heart feels for you 🥺 I’m so sorry you had to go through such a horrible experience with the doctors. 💔 I really hope you have a fast recovery 💖
Oh Lauren, I’m so sorry you went through all of this. I’m so happy you finally got your answers. Thank you so much for sharing this 🩷🩷
You are so brave for sharing this story. Thank you for that. Hope you can have a fast recovery and please feel free to take as much time off as you may need. We'll be here for you sis :) I really hope the surgery helps so you don't have to experience that much pain anymore.
Big hug all the way from Spain
Sweet Lauren. My heart goes out to you and others that may be having these symptoms and issues with health care. I’m glad you are getting the care you need. ❤💖
Poor sweet girl! I’m so sorry you’re having to go through this but you’re so brave and strong and I’m so proud of you. Prayers for healing and complete health.🥰💕
Sending you all the love and prayers! 💛🎗️ I’m so sorry you’ve had to go through this and thank you for speaking out about it! The epidemic of gaslighting women in healthcare has got to end. I hope you have a speedy recovery and know that you have so many people who care about you 🩷
We love you Lauren and praying for a full recovery ❤️🩹🙏
i’m so sorry you have been through that for so long, i really hope you feel better💛🎗️
I am so relieved for you to finally have answers ❤ I am so sorry you had to endure that horrific wait, gaslighting & pain. As a long time follower I had a suspicion this was possibly the case, but you never know what people are experiencing and how much a smile can hide. Thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing your experience. I commented a very similar thing on your Instagram post but you really are one of my favourite creators for many reasons, but you are such a beautiful role model for so many people of all ages & stages of life.
As someone with a diagnosis watching this made me feel so validated. I had symptoms for 9 years before finally being diagnosed. The day I found out I had suspected endometriosis I had a doctor look me in the eye and tell me “you don’t have endometriosis, you would be in more pain if you did. If you really think you have it go and get a more in depth ultrasound”, needless to say I never went back there again! 3 surgeries in 18 months and 3 months of chemical menopause (most relief I had in years) now on the journey of fertility treatments (for many reasons not just endo). Most of my endometriosis was found on my bladder and has now resulted in permanent nerve damage to my bladder. Endometriosis has been the most challenging thing I have ever endured. Having to navigate a chronic illness is really difficult most days. Thank you for using your platform to share your experiences and raise awareness 💛
Wishing you a smooth recovery & sending so much love your way fellow Endo Warrior 💗💗💗
You’re so strong and so incredible Lauren 🤍 Thank you for sharing your story, I’m so glad you’re okay
💛💛💛 I'm so sorry Lauren and happy to see you are receiving treatment for this. Wishing you a speedy recovery and sending lots of hugs
Hugs to you. I am so sorry that your previous medical doctors did not listen to you and didn’t take your pain seriously. Wishing you a safe recovery and am so happy that you have been able to get answers. 🎗️
Oh Lauren I'm so sorry to hear about your drawn out experience with endometriosis...you're feelings are 💯valid. I'm saddened to know you couldn't get treatment sooner, but I'm so glad you ended up going somewhere that provided the help you deserve! 💛🎗 Sending you a BIG HUG, good vibes, and a swift recovery as you rest at home with Will and Baby Elle! 💖
Congratulations on having some sort of answer to your pain! Getting an answer and validation that you are not crazy is satisfying (in my experience) and I hope that this surgery helps you feel better for a long time! 💛💛💛
I'm so sorry you have gone through all of that pain for so long! I'm glad you're finally getting the answers you deserve. ❤💛🎗
I am SO proud of you for going back to the doctor after all of the horrible experiences you have had. I am so so sorry for everything you have been through. Thank you for sharing!
I can’t agree more with your comment about advocating for your health. I’m so sorry you’ve suffered for so long. Really hope this makes a huge difference to your life. Feel better soon Lauren 🩷
Dear Lauren, I'm so sorry for everything you went through. Its so courageous to share it with all of us because so many of us, especially women, through this kind of invalidation and mistreatment when we're going to the doctor for help! I'm so glad you found a provider that is taking your pain and your knowing seriously. I hope your healing and feeling better. I've really enjoyed watching your content, your authenticity, and your love of pink! 💛💛💛
Sending prayers your way!! Stay brave and we love you girl!! 💛💛💛
I’m so glad you were finally listened to and found help 💛🎗️🎀 I always thought your life was just so amazing and perfect but no one’s life is perfect and it made me realize that you really never know what someone is going through or the extent of it . I love you and your videos so much! I hope you have a wonderful recovery ❤️🩹
Lauren, I started sobbing watching your video and hearing about your experience. I have PCOS and had a similar experience of not feeling heard and knowing something was wrong. I know this video couldn’t have been easy, but please know this video means a lot to women who have been through your situation. Your platform allows you to speak for those going through what you’re going through and it’s a beautiful thing. Praying for a quick recovery and for you to feel so much better! So proud of you, Girl! 🎗️🙏🏻
thank you for sharing your story! i find it very brave that you did! I pray that you will have a very fast and quick recovery! know that you are not alone! 💛
I’m glad you finally got an answer! Hoping for a speedy recovery for you ❤️🩹
