Amanda Fuller Instagram – I AM
#MoreThan1In10
This last weekend was life changing for me. I found myself in a community of people who not only know what Endometriosis is, but spend their lives dedicated to its advocacy. Remarkable specialists, educators, fellow #endowarrior💛’s. There is truly so much to unpack here. And I am now more passionate than ever to be a part of this radiant and significant community.
I kept saying all weekend that after my diagnostic surgery last year, I focused for a small time on my physical recovery, but then went back to ‘life’- being a mom, trying to restart my career etc…it wasn’t until this weekend that I really FACED my diagnosis. And gave myself the time to face what it all really means (and has meant for my entire life of suffering and fighting to be believed, or even just fighting to know what was wrong with me.) It’s a LOT.
Now that I am facing it, I will never be able to turn away from it again. So consider this the beginning. Another new beginning. The beginning of a chapter where I dedicate all I can in my life to advocating for the education, exposure, resources for treatment and healing, legislation necessary, awareness and support of Endometriosis and all that this wayyyy too common disease effects.
Honored to have been a very small part of your beautiful work and celebration @endofound , thank you deeply for having me.
Special thank you to @seckinmd and Dr. Amanda Chu (4th slide) for literally giving me the chance to begin again. And to @gettyimages for taking pictures to help me remember this beautiful evening.
