Endo Awareness!

After the release of the Guardian article today I decided to write an open letter about my personal experience with endometriosis as a young woman in order to raise awareness for young girls like myself.

It would be amazing if you could read my letter and pass it on, it may help those struggling against the NHS to get a diagnosis!

Good for you!

The amount of times I've been tested for STIs throughout my marriage! I know they have to rule things out and things are always possible since they don't know you but come on, it hasn't been that the last three times or ever!

Thanks for sharing your experiences x

Well done :)

I have been told many a time that I do not fit the categories for Endo.. They have said its because I am not over weight, hairy or over 40.

These are not symptoms! Its ridiculous..
