Hello, my name is Karina, I’m 25 and I’m from a little town called Lowestoft (not far from Norwich). I’ve been suffering from Endometriosis for 15 years and have been diagnosed for 10 years. I’ve had lots of different surgeries, procedures, treatments & medications over the years. Please reach out if you need to talk or need any advice, you’re not alone💛

Hi karinawilson,

Hi! I’ve been under general gynaes at my local hospital, I’ve been under Mr Whitlow at Colchester General and I’m now under Mr Khazali in London. Yes my case has been to several but the outcome has always been different at different hospitals. Which hospital are you under? Good luck will be thinking of you! X

Hi, thanku for ur reply. I was diagnosed last june with stage 4 (by laparoscopy) at Ipswich hospital but they wouldn't touch it, so referd me to colchester I'm under Miss Wai and so far just had MRI and 1 meeting with her, I'm hoping I hear something in the next week or so cos the pain is just getting worse, I had to come home from work today (had a sob in the car first) even the Morphine doesn't seem to be helping all the time now x

Ah Mr Whitlow & Miss Wai work side by side with each other! Definitely chase them up if you don’t hear anything this week! Sometimes they just need a gentle reminder! I’ve got their secretary’s number if you need it, she’s lovely Xx
