    Story

    As some of you may know I was diagnosed with endometriosis last November. Endometriosis is (definition taken from Endometriosis-UK website) Endometriosis (pronounced en- doh – mee – tree – oh – sis) is the name given to the condition where cells like the ones in the lining of the womb (uterus) are found elsewhere in the body.

    Each month these cells react in the same way to those in the womb, building up and then breaking down and bleeding. Unlike the cells in the womb that leave the body as a period, this blood has no way to escape.

    It is a chronic and debilitating condition that causes painful or heavy periods. It may also lead to infertility, fatigue and bowel and bladder problems. Around 1.5 million women in the UK are currently living with the condition. Endometriosis can affect all women and girls of a childbearing age, regardless of race or ethnicity.

    It causes ridiculous pain that we are just told to deal with. It is so complicated to deal with and I wasn't diagnosed for months and months after I initially went to the doctor - I was told I was "imagining" the pain - until a lovely doctor finally listened and referred me to the gyno team at Lister.

    There is no cure for endometriosis, so us girls that suffer just have to deal with the pain, or undergo lazer surgery every few years (or more) to try and sort it.

    It is a horrible disease that affects every aspect of your life - I'm constantly moody and snappy because of being in so much pain.

    So I am doing DRY JANUARY to raise money for them!

    So please, whatever you can, donate to help research for this horrible disease so girls like me, can start living without pain.

    Thank you so much.
