I will never be quiet about this. I wear my scars proudly.
Years of fighting for being heard, for being understood, for being taken seriously… years of medical gaslighting, of being dismissed & being told that you‘re absolutely healthy when it’s the complete opposite.
Years of pain, symptoms & simply trying to survive instead of being alive.
Most of my time spent in bed, being unable to move, being worried about my own health without any help in sight.
Illnesses that triggered my autoimmune disease led to me losing my hair.
Collecting symptoms instead of memories - missing out on life.
Endometriosis is as common as diabetes & yet it still lacks so much research… Is it because it only affects women?
It’s now been 6 weeks since my laparoscopic surgery & it thankfully helped me. Did it heal me? No. Will it come back? Yes. Did my doctors also find other illnesses during surgery? Also yes.
I will never be a 100% but honestly, I probably never was.
It’s something I have to live with & so many other women as well.
It did make me stronger but my body weaker. Women deserve better! We deserve to be healthy. So I wear my scars proudly because I’m one of many🤎
