#47: Endometriosis Awareness with Kate from Endo Girls Blog

Hello Uterus

Endometriosis is a debilitating, full body, chronic, inflammatory condition that takes an average of ten years to diagnose. Many are told their symptoms are normal, so it flies under the diagnosis radar as it progressively worsens. By educating ourselves on the warning signs, we can begin to fight for a definitive diagnosis.

Today’s guest has an endo story that, unfortunately, many can relate to. We’re joined by board certified patient advocate, Kate from the Endo Girls Blog. Her website and Instagram account is a fantastic source for those who are undiagnosed or diagnosed with endometriosis and need support navigating the rocky path to relief.

In this episode, Kate shares many of the similar problems that others face in their journey but has a few unique aspects that have led her to where she is now. Kate shares the early signs of endo in her life, the first time she heard 'endometriosis' from an unexpected doctor, and what you can do to get on the path to healing, especially if you need an extra hand to help.

Lastly, we end on a fascinating high note: Curing blindness thanks to medical technology.

Thanks for listening, learning, and being you. And join us back here every Tuesday for all things uterus, in service to you, uterinekind.
