I experienced debilitating pain from my teenage years and after countless appointments was finally diagnosed with endometriosis when I was 27. After years of laparoscopies and laparotomies I tried changing my diet and through healthy nutrition and lifestyle became virtually pain free. I eventually had to have a hysterectomy in 2007. 

Some years later when a member of my family was diagnosed with endometriosis, I was disappointed to find that the diagnosis and treatment had not improved. I therefore wanted to be able to share my experiences and help support other women who are living with endometriosis.

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.
