Endometriosis: what you see

Endometriosis: what you don’t see being gaslit by medical staff, depression, isolation due to not being able bodied, having to family plan when you’re not ready, fiercely and constantly advocating for yourself, struggling to walk during flare ups, feeling like a burden, forced to rest, the 13+ years before clinical diagnosis, grief of loosing your old life, missing out on fun, frequent doctor appointments and hospital visits, worrying about keeping your job, lowered mobility, anxiety, not feeling like yourself anymore, constant pain, heavy and painful periods, living in uncertainty, painful bloating (endo belly), extreme fatigue, painful sex, feeling like giving up, literally no one understanding the disease, having to cancel plans

Endometriosis: What you see vs. what you don't

what you see is just the tip of the iceberg.

GOOD JOB🫶🏾✨🤩

Okay, Ohio next🙏🏾

Endometriosis: Woman backs call for better workplace support Samantha Gelder says she had left jobs after feeling unsupported by her employer.

""Endometriosis should not mean women have to put their careers on hold and leave the jobs they've worked so hard to get.

"Employers can take simple steps like offering flexible working, access to period products and time off to attend appointments.""
