My Story…
Hi Friends, my story is one that many people share, yet is often not talked about because of the stigma and personal barriers around the topic. I have had issues with my reproductive health since the age of 12 and by the age of 20, my periods were debilitating. I couldn't get out of bed, walking increased pain, no medication worked, and I was left feeling helpless. I went to many doctors and had various tests done, only to be told that I just had bad periods and to take Tylenol and that an IUD was my best option. It wasn't until getting a family doctor who took my health seriously in 2024 that I was referred to a gynecologist. In January 2025, I was diagnosed with stage four endometriosis. Being able to put a name to my pain and symptoms has changed everything. In one way, it's provided a sense of relief, and in another it's confirmed my worst nightmare. Please join the fight against endo and donate if you can. xoxo - Callie
