Dundee Support Group

About this group

The Dundee support group offers a safe and supportive environment for those with suspected or diagnosed Endometriosis to share their experiences with the condition.

The group has been up and running since January 2019 and we're open to suggestions of what topics people might want to discuss.

We enjoy seeing new and familiar faces at meetings and hope that others find it to be of benefit to them through their journey.

General Session Information

Meetings are held monthly online unless otherwise stated. For any in person meetings, these will be held at a Dundee city centre location. From time to time, we will hold "Bring your own support network" meetings, allowing your loved ones to join in.

Meet the Support Group Leader(s)

Vicky

Founder and Support Group Leader of Endometriosis UK Dundee Support Group

I was diagnosed with Endometriosis myself in October 2017 having only heard the word for the first time a few months before. Looking back, I had symptoms from when I started my periods aged 11 resulting in me having to take time off school and work after having left school.

My worst symptoms over the years have been heavy, painful periods, lower back and pelvic pain and fatigue. Since being diagnosed, I have been on the combined pill, a 6-month course of Zoladex putting me into chemical menopause and since June 2018, the mini pill, which helps to keep my symptoms at bay in the main.

I have had two surgeries for my Endometriosis - my diagnostic lap in 2017 followed by extensive adhesiolysis and excision of rectovaginal endometriosis in 2022. At present, I am taking part in a research trial through the University of Aberdeen and am currently back on the waiting list for surgery as part of this.

I set up Endo Dundee in 2019 having attended in person Endometriosis Fife meetings - Without Endo Fife, who knows if I'd be where I am now!

Away from volunteering, I work in Human Resources for one of the big 4 and enjoy spending time with my Husband and 3 year old lab, Baxter.

Should you have any questions about Endo Dundee, please do get in touch - I'd love to hear from you!
