Endometriosis Awareness Month: 30 Day Invisible Illness Challenge - Day 29
I’m involved with this challenge because…
…I believe that knowledge is our greatest weapon against this disease. We need to give the millions of women out there struggling with this disease a voice. If we are loud enough, people will listen. I also want there to be knowledge from real women who are fighting for all those women who may not understand that the pain they are experiencing is real and it has a name. This is one of the most under diagnosed illnesses out there and that needs to change. I also think that we need to raise awareness because the average diagnosis taking 10 years is just ridiculous. Additionally, the fact that there is no cure, no real treatment and no way to stop this disease from taking over our lives and potentially our fertility is completely unacceptable to me.
