Join me on the 24th of March at 10am to walk a lap of the Tan in Melbourne to raise awareness for this chronic disease.
Endometriosis has caused struggle in my life after 8 years of pain and uncertainty. In 2020 I was 'officially' finally diagnosed with Stage 4 Endometriosis & Adenomyosis after 3 years of misdiagnosis, chronic pain and dismissal from doctors.
I spent my years from 20-23 going to the toilet up to 9 times a day with pain down my back, legs and feeling like my pelvis was going to explode. After two ablation surgeries and three excision surgeries, I sit here at the age of 26 still experiencing pain, fatigue and pure exhaustion. I can go days on end with some form of constant back pain.
There is currently no cure and surgery has given me nearly two years relief, but the last few months have been difficult. I've been juggling new medications to help my symptoms.
At the prime age of 23, I was told to freeze my eggs in the chance I can't fall pregnant one day. At 24, I completed a second cycle which did more harm than good to my body and I suffered from ovarian hyperstimulation.
Now, 5 surgeries later I am off to have a sixth surgery next month to try and relieve an immobile ovary and my symptoms. Although surgery isn't the answer, the other options on the table aren't for me at this time, which is why I want to raise money to find other treatment options.
This disease is not a one man job, it affects everyone in my life and I wouldn't be here today without the love and support from my dear family and close support network.
Please donate to help make a change for people like me.
Thank you for your support!
