In need of good articles that are to the point

[char7]

My university are being difficult providing support as they do not see why a gynelogical issue could effect my daily life. Does anyone have any good short articles that I can send across with another note from my GP. I know endo UK have some good pages but I doubt they will bother with website links.

Thanks in advance

I have this same issue I’ve taken loads of time off work recently but it seems they do not care about what we are going through. they can throw you off for health issues it’s against the law.Endo should be classed as a disability. If you get any joy on this please keep me informed as I might need your advice. Good luck 😉 xxxx

Can’t throw you off I mean

I don't remember reading anything for students / or studying but there's a few articles out there for employees in the workplace and what employers should do including what endo is and how it affects you, so perhaps it may help.

They're official documents so you can print them off.

endometriosis-uk.org/sites/...

endometriosis-uk.org/public... has the above and other publications

seeherthrive.com/downloads has the above and other publications

Have you checked that your uni has a student support area / contact? They usually have one that can discuss studies, illness etc and see how they can help - they would be the best to get in contact with. Like my local uni has the student support section, they often have info on whom to contact and talk to

Hope some of that helps x

Hi Char7,

I'm a PhD student researching endometriosis and therefore have read many papers surrounding this. I have sent you a direct message with a published review I have found from 2018 on the impact of endometriosis on women's quality of life.

Best wishes,

What we can do to make society acknowledge that endometriosis is serious disease and universities and employers are more respectful to it. Even some doctors. I'm done with people who make women feeling guilty or bad in work or school for something that is not their fault.
