Hi everyone, hope your all doing as well as you can, I was just wondering is endometriosis actually classed as a disability in the U.K. I find it so dibilatating at times such as today, I can't seem to find any actual information wheter it is classed as a disability or not. Days like today I can't help but think it should be. Xx

Unfortunately not, I can't see it ever being either as it only affects women (this is the cynic in me!). I think awareness is still a little too low worldwide, most people have never heard of it even though it is likely they have a female family member with endo! People really need to start talking about it.
Hope you feel better soon.

It's not although there is a petition here via change.org to recognise it as a disability, I have signed it.
