Maths teacher's blog adds up to a must read
“The same quiet tragedy: women enduring years of pain, only to be dismissed, doubted, and left behind."
Read Laura’s emotive and inspiring blog on living with endometriosis for a QUARTER OF A CENTURY – visit our BLOGS page.
It’s a tale of extraordinary fortitude too, as she details the days lost to pain, being prevented from advancing her career and even the friendships she lost.
We thank Laura from the bottom of our hearts for sharing her story and invite all endo warriors to do the same.
Because it promotes understanding and leaves others knowing they are not alone!
Time for an intimate chat
The Uni of Derby is looking for endo warriors to talk frankly about the impact of the blight on their sex life.
Researchers rightly claim that the voices of those with the condition are not being heard, so this is your opportunity to change all of that and gain more awareness and understanding of what you are facing.
Please email
e.hooper4@unimailderby.ac.uk to find out how you can get involved in a project that has our full backing.
Derby isn’t the only Uni looking into endometriosis at present. A Sheffield student is pioneering a study into endo and sport, while Manchester’s work – funded by YOU – is progressing into better tools to cut the appalling ten year wait for a diagnosis.
We’ve long called for this kind of research to take place. And so let’s get involved in making the difference!
