Hi,

I’m a newbie and I would really appreciate any advice and support. Here’s my story, sorry it’s long!

I was diagnosed with Endometriosis in Jan 2018, following years of visits to the Drs, lots of pain, upset and a series of moments on the floor from black outs or doubled up in pain - I’m going to guess I am not the only one!

This condition is still very new to me and has affected my Mental Health significantly. In fact I was treated for my MH problems before my physical health problems, as it took THAT long to diagnose.

I don’t know about anyone else, but it was by sheer luck I got any investigation into Endometriosis as before then I was fobbed off with “oh it’s IBS”. I think if I’d heard that one more time, I would have screamed.

So here I am trying to now find out more, following a series of things I’ve seen on social media...
