Endometriosis
Eff Endometriosis
This is a message to the universe of women who are suffering with Endometriosis: We can keep pursing health and happiness despite this disease. We deserve better treatment options and a cure!
I struggled with Endometriosis for more than 30 years. It got progressively worse and its reign of terror only ended after I had two invasive surgeries. The first surgeon removed 40 lesions from my abdomen along with my appendix. I had deep infiltrating, organ damaging, health destroying Endometriosis. A year later, when the suspected Adenomyosis became unbearable, I opted for another surgery that would remove my uterus and finally bring relief.
These days I use my reclaimed energy in my work as a therapist and on my training runs. I'm back up to 60 miles per week! I'm also using my energy to share my story and hopefully inspire other women to keep advocating for answers. I am planning to offer talks to women's groups, athletes and those interested in learning more, but meanwhile, I've been working on a documentary film.
My marketing people cautioned me against titling this page "Eff Endometriosis." They warned me that the search bots would get confused and no one would find this page. But here we are together, defying the odds.
