So, I did a thing on Monday… and while I won’t lie, it wasn’t the most fun experience 😂, it was incredibly important!
I was honored to lead a talk on Endometriosis at Radius in Crewe. My aim? To shine a light on this profound disease, raise awareness, and hopefully create some ripples of understanding.
I shared my own story and the stories of millions of women. We discussed what Endo is and what it isn’t. I highlighted the shocking NHS waiting times- almost a decade!
We also touched on current legislation, how leaders and employers can support, and ways peers can help.
Hearing the horrendous stories of medical neglect from others in the room was eye-opening. The gaslighting and disheartening attitudes from those meant to help us are simply unacceptable.
Research is lagging, and too many doctors lack the knowledge to provide the support we need. It’s time for change!
Please sign the petition in my bio to ensure that all medical practitioners are trained in trauma-informed language and truly understand the weight of their words. Enough is enough, let’s fight for change together! 💪
A huge thank you to Nichola for inviting me to speak and to everyone in the room who asked questions and bravely shared their stories. Your voices matter! 💛
