Have you ever felt like you knew something was wrong with your health, but everyone else including the "professionals" told you otherwise? Two years ago today I had Endometriosis Laparoscopic Surgery and it changed my life.
In this episode, I celebrate the official day I learned of my diagnosis of Endometriosis after 10+ years of searching for answers. I talk about the medical trauma I faced as well as the imposter syndrome that crept in.
On this journey for answers and healing, I did not get everything resolved but I learned along the way that it is still important to celebrate every win, even if it seems small. I am not sure what will come next for my endo story, but I do know that many women in the endo community have had 5-9+ surgeries in their lifetime. The sad part about the lack of research is that at this point endo doesn't have a cure.
My mission is to help by sharing my story + symptoms to help spread awareness. A 10-year wait for any diagnosis is unacceptable!
