Is a condition where cells like the ones in the lining of the womb (uterus) are found outside the womb in the pelvis, and occasionally in more remote sites of the body- including lungs, brain, skin etc. This leads to tumour-like growths & cysts spreading havoc and chaos within & throughout your bodyโ

is a nightmare and feels endless... Sadly, for many, it is. We have to find ways to cope to even be able to function. ๐๐ญ ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ญ๐ฌ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ค๐๐ฌ ๐ข๐ญ ๐๐ข๐๐๐ข๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ญ. ๐๐ง ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฌ๐๐ฌ, ๐๐ง๐๐จ๐ฆ๐๐ญ๐ซ๐ข๐จ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ ๐จ๐๐ฌ ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ข๐๐ ๐ง๐จ๐ฌ๐๐ ๐๐๐ซ ๐ญ๐จ๐จ ๐ฅ๐จ๐ง๐ !โ

I had 5 laparoscopies to remove endometrial growths, all prior to transitioning. โ

I've had my appendix removed, and have had endo spread across my bladder, appendix, lower intestines, colon, and possibly to my lungs - leading to a lung biopsy. โ
โ
It's been a really rough road.โ

One of my plans has always been to shine light on endometriosis in and the high numbers in which it does - but to also show you can get through it. I still have pain to this day, which may never go away, and I require nerve blocks and trigger point injections every 4 weeks, maybe forever. So despite me being male, and having transitioned - I still live with this pain every day too. I feel for all the women (and men) out there! ๐ค"โ

If you, or anyone you know, has been diagnosed with endometriosis, we want you to ๐โ
