Day 5 of Endometriosis Awareness

Day 5 of #theendophotochallenge2018 on Instagram



Listed 👆 are my medications/treatments to date (that I can recall) for the pat 18 years.

Let me tell you the struggle is all to real when you have an invisible illness.

People just don't see past you looking like a regular walking/talking being. They don't see the scars, the pain behind the masks we wear to try look "normal". No one sees the sacrifices we make along the way or allow us to grieve for the girls and women we used to be before Endo.

Well no more 🎭. This is our chance to spread awareness and shout/scream, let our 176 million voices be heard.

Day 4 of Endometriosis Awareness

Day 4 #theendophotochallenge2018 on Instagram
Diagnosis;

After seven years of suffering heavy periods, fainting spells and numerous days off from school I was finally diagnosed at age 18 through surgery, laporscopacally, with #stageivendo.

Even though I have a very strong family history of Endometriosis my G.P kept dismissing even the idea of me having it.

I started showing symptoms at age 11. Don't let this happen to your daughter /sister/significant other/family members.
