Healing with Endo 902

04/23/2026

A big thank you to Radiyah Chowdhury for writing this amazing article for Chatelaine covering my endometriosis journey. It was so emotional to read as it allowed me to relive the journey I had taken so far, and it’s been one hell of a rollercoaster. Radiyah captured the whole experience perfectly, which can be hard when you’re writing from the perspective of another. I hope this article inspires others not to give up their fight for care and hopefully catches the attention of those in positions of power who can do something to better the state of endometriosis care in the province, country, and world at large. 🎗️❤️

It is unacceptable that Nova Scotian women are still waiting years for care for debilitating conditions like endometriosis, and have to self-advocate for decades to get the help need.

The IWK Health Centre's pelvic pain clinic has a years-long backlog and we heard last week that demand for gynecological services for health conditions like endometriosis is only increasing in our province.

Yet the Houston government refuses to make a plan to address the massive gaps in care. Nova Scotians trusted him to take women's health care seriously but with increased wait times and no plan, that trust is broken.

Endometriosis patients are living with a disease ravaging their body, compromising their organs, and robbing them of their education, careers, and ability to have families in some cases. But hey, let’s look at how it impacts men’s s*x lives while we just suffer over here. 🙄 🤦‍♀️

Thank god this is from 2018 and better research has been coming out since. But these things definitely make your eyes roll. Like was this really a good use of research and funding? lol

What are some absurd endometriosis studies you’ve come across? Let me know in the comments! 👇

Today marks the one year anniversary of the Guysborough & Area Endometriosis Support Group! 🥰

Over the past year our little group has been slowly growing, and I wasn’t sure what to expect at first, but I’m so glad I started it. It’s been a pleasure getting to know these brave and resilient young ladies, as it’s not easy to come to a group like this - it takes real courage to step outside your comfort zone and open up to strangers. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who has trusted me to create a safe space to share and connect around endo.

It’s been beautiful watching friendships blossom, and also heartbreaking to hear what so many continue to go through navigating a healthcare system that lacks knowledge and training around their bodies.

This group was never about fixing anything, but about helping those stuck in limbo feel less alone by connecting them with others who understand. If it gives someone something to look forward to, or helps keep their head above water while they wait for care, then at least that is one small part I can play in helping to reduce feelings of isolation that come with disease.

Thank you to everyone who has attended so far, and to the Antigonish Women's Resource Centre & Sexual Assault Services Association (especially Allison), Cary and the Cast Away Cafe , ArtWorks East, and Muddy Puddle Goat Farm for supporting this group along the way.

And of course, thank you to my sister Patty Mac for all her help, especially with the collaborative painting.

If you’ve been thinking about joining but feel hesitant, this is your encouragement. You don’t have to feel alone in your fight. 🫂

Join us April 18th from 1–3pm for a Soul Collage Workshop with Shelley Long to celebrate our one year anniversary. It’s free, but registration is required as spots are limited. 💜
