My Story:

I was diagnosed with endometriosis, fibroids and PCOs, in December 2013. I did not know what it was or how this would impact on my life both physically and, emotionally. I felt silly that as a woman I had no idea what this chronic incurable illness was and how I was going to manage and move forwards.

I spent lots of time in recovery from my operations, researching and I attended a day with Endometriosis UK in London in 2014. This was inspiring and reassuring, and I realised how much I wanted to spread the word.

I now feel ready to support other woman who may have felt like I did, so they do not have to suffer in silence or go through whit I and many other woman have had to.

My Story:

I experienced severe period pain from my teenage years and was finally diagnosed with endometriosis in 2001 when I was 27. After several years of laparoscopies and laparotomies I tried changing my diet and through healthy nutrition became virtually pain free. A member of my family has recently been diagnosed with the condition and I was shocked to find that the diagnosis and treatment has not changed much. I want to be able to share my experiences and help support other women are dealing with the symptoms of endometriosis.
