Doctor’s gaslighting left Siobhan fighting for her

“It took me three days to realise that it wasn't JUST the endo pain that I had originally put it down to” 

Read how endo warrior Siobhan believes that gaslighting from doctors made her reluctant to go to hospital with appendicitis!

Morph conference seeks mighty change

Our founder Dr Anita Sharma will address a Yorkshire gathering of pharmacists to call for greater awareness and better treatment of endometriosis.

Amongst the myriad of presentations on everything from vaccines to migraines, Dr Anita will be joined by nurse Lucy Bowker who will share her case study – and the startling fact that some NHS employees don’t know much about endo.

Organisers MORPH are one of the UK’s largest primary care networks with over 16,000 members. They deliver a staggering 150 live training courses each year.

Egg lecture plants ideas of progress

Our charity's latest free webinar was on endometriosis and fertility – and guests were reminded that 96% of pre-endo op women believed they would never conceive.

Myths abound around the subject, with once again, little research done on how removing endo tissue affected conception and the impact of age on older warriors who would be parents.

Indeed, keynote speaker and specialist Dr Karolina Palinska-Rudzka called for more resource to be ploughed-into some of these serious issues.

She also saluted our charity and vowed to work together with them, going forwards.

Our thanks go to Dr Karolina, our on and offline - guests plus host Dr Sharma.

Look out for the presentations published here soon! 

Endo figures hit home at Hurst

  News of the average waiting time for an endometriosis diagnosis shook guests at one of our fundraisers and particularly resonated – with an 80-year-old endo warrior!

Our founder Dr Sharma spoke to guests at the Hurst Methodist Church in Tameside, Greater Manchester, and met our new friend (eventually diagnosed aged 32) who remembered waiting four-and-a-half years to even see a gynaecologist.

While medical male misogyny has eased and treatment become better, we are still a huge distance from treating those with endo, properly. 

Organised by Susan Richardson, the coffee morning – also featuring tombola and cake sales – was a huge success, affording those with endo the opportunity to swap their case histories and make new friends.    

The event was also supported by Doreen Haigh, from Women Growing Together (the woman’s group of Oldham Interfaith Forum).

“We thank everyone involved and Susan in particular for helping us gain the funds to raise awareness of the condition and find the means to reduce waiting times for treatments” said Dr Sharma, “it was also pleasing to see practice nurses there as even the medical profession needs to increase its knowledge of endometriosis.

Our hope with the event was that women would become more able to openly discuss period health – and I think we achieved that.”
