I Have Endo and I Have Questions
I often think about how many times a woman that looks like me has spent the majority of her years in inexplicable pain. How many times did she beg to stay home from school as a child during the first few days of her period? How often has she had to use her sick time to call out of work as the pain becomes increasingly unbearable with the start of each menstrual cycle? I sometimes imagine how hard it may have been for her to explain to her parents, or friends, or partner, that this is NOT something that a few Midol and a heating pad can remedy. I often think about how many women that look like me, went back and forth to the doctor for YEARS searching for answers and solutions, only to be disappointed and dismissed time and time again.
