Christie Whelan Browne Instagram – I am so proud to be the newest ambassador for @endometriodsisaustralia. Most people who go through life with endometriosis are forced to suck it up and keep on keeping on. A) it can take up to 7 years for a diagnosis on average b) it is invasive and expensive to remove and c) there is no cure.
I remember the first time I read that Lena Dunham had been hospitalised with a painful episode of endo and I realised it had never occurred to me that I was entitled to such help for the chronic pain I endured with Stage 4 endo. I used to feel the pressure to just suck it up and carry on. I never had proper pain relief for it. I never knew how serious the repercussions were on my fertility. It was just how I lived my life.
Oh and what they say about a baby being the cure isn’t true. I just now suffer Adenomyosis also. 😎
I want everyone to know they should not have to live with extremely painful periods and chronic pain or discomfort. I want there to be a cure. I want women’s pain to be taken as seriously as it should be.
I want us to raise awareness and funds for the 1 in 7 who suffer from this disease. 🌻 | Posted on 02/Nov/2023 10:42:57
