Live Now: Chapter 2 — The Spark That Ignited My Endo Fire
I thought it was a cold sore.
I thought it was just another flare.
I thought the doctors would help.
I was wrong.
Chapter 2 is raw. It’s the unraveling. It’s the year my body screamed and the system shrugged. Mouth ulcers, back pain, misdiagnoses, and the kind of dismissal that makes you question your own sanity.
This chapter dives deep into the pain behind the scenes — the periods that started at nine, the s*x that always hurt, the doctors who sent me to therapy instead of listening. It’s about the moment I realized I wasn’t crazy. I was sick. And no one was connecting the dots.
If you’ve ever been dismissed, gaslit, or told “it’s all in your head,” this one’s for you.
🧠 Memoir in real time.
💥 No neat endings.
✊ Just truth, grit, and the fight to be heard.
