You may have heard of Endometriosis, but have you heard of its twin, Adenomyosis?
Jackie Denham shares her journey from struggling with extreme abdominal pain for months & multiple ER visits until finally she found a doctor who would listen and help.
While her case is extremely rare (even among those who do have Adenomyosis), she offers a great deal of wisdom and hope when healing doesn't go the way you think it will.
But it still wasn't smooth sailing from there. Surgery revealed it wasn't endo- leaving her with the choice between toughing it out indefinitely (leaving her practically bed-ridden in pain constantly) or getting a hysterectomy at just 21 years old.
Join in as we talk about how she navigated these decisions, what the difference between Endometriosis & Adenomyosis is, and how getting a hysterectomy changed her view on womanhood and motherhood.
