Sussex Coast Group
Hi, I’m Rachel and I was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2007 after suffering symptoms since 1999. I’ve had several laparoscopies, colonoscopies and eventually a laparotomy and bowel resection which unfortunately has not been the end of my problems with endo. I have been a volunteer with Endometriosis UK since 2008 and enjoy being involved in fundraising and awareness events; recently I did a 10 hour "Charioke"! I wanted to do more and in October 2009 I trained to become a helpline volunteer. On the helpline I often speak to people in Sussex so I decided, with the support of my Mum, Hilary, to set up the Sussex Coast Support Group, based in Hove, East Sussex. |

Endo can make you feel alone, desperate, lost, hopeless, angry, and frustrated; as I have experienced all of these emotions myself, I wanted to share my experiences of coping with others. I have been treating my Endo with 90% complementary therapy for the past year and feel excited to share my experiences of this with those interested to learn more.
The support group exists in order to provide support, offer advice, information and understanding for those with endometriosis and their families. Whether you've just been diagnosed or have been living with endometriosis for years, these meetings will be an opportunity to meet others living with endometriosis, share experiences, raise awareness and find out more about the condition.
Next meeting: Sunday 12 Sept, 11-12.30pm
