End Endometriosis Raleigh

💛

In the last three years, I’ve had over 50 endometriosis lesions cut out of my body. A chocolate cyst that was adhering my o***y to my side was removed. An appendectomy and a hernia repair. I’ve felt indescribable, inescapable pain. Trying to keep my invisible illness to myself after being told by doctors it was just “part of being a woman.” I spent 10 years being undiagnosed. As a teenager and young woman, I felt weak and deeply insecure. I was trapped in my own body. March is endometriosis awareness month. As this month comes to a close, I urge everyone to remember this invisible disease each and every day. To lend support, compassion and grace towards the millions who suffer. It’s up to all of us to raise awareness, not just for endometriosis but for women’s health as a whole. No one deserves to suffer in silence. For more information I turned to and . If you’re in pain, my heart breaks for you. I believe you. Please find answers. And don’t give up on yourself. I know how hard that can be.

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month.

Let’s clear something up.

It is not normal to:
• vomit from period pain
• pass out in a bathroom stall
• miss work or school every month
• bleed through protection in an hour
• dread intimacy because it hurts
• live on a heating pad like it’s oxygen

And yet how many of us were told:

“That’s just being a woman.”
“Periods hurt.”
“You’re dramatic.”
“Take ibuprofen.”

Endometriosis isn’t “bad cramps.”
It’s tissue growing where it doesn’t belong.
It’s inflammation.
It’s organs sticking together.
It’s fertility battles no one prepared you for.

If you have to schedule your life around pain, that’s not normal.

And being dismissed for years?
That’s not normal either.

Believe women the first time.
