Hi we are TEAM BODYFITTERS and we are supporting Sue, the owner and founder of BodyFit For All, who is an Endometriosis sufferer - or Endo Warrior as she and other fellow sufferers like to call themselves! Did you know... * 1 in 10 women of reproductive age in the UK suffer from endometriosis. * 10% of women world wide have endometriosis - that’s 176 million worldwide. * The prevalence of endometriosis in women with infertility be as high as to 30–50%. * Endometriosis is the second most common gynaecological condition in the UK. * Endometriosis affects 1.5 million women, a similar number of women affected by diabetes. * On average it takes 8 years from onset of symptoms to get a diagnosis. * Endometriosis costs the UK economy £8.2bn a year in treatment, loss of work and healthcare costs. * The cause of endometriosis is unknown and there is no definite cure. Endometriosis devastates the lives of many women and their families. One in ten women endure unrelenting pain that affects every aspect of their lives each day. That’s over 1.5 million women who desperately need support and information to help them understand this chronic condition. Endometriosis can have a significant impact on a person's life in a number of ways, including: Chronic pain Fatigue/lack of energy Depression/isolation An inability to conceive Difficulty in fulfilling work and social commitments However, with the right endometriosis treatment many of these issues can be addressed, and the symptoms of endometriosis made more manageable. Nobody should have to suffer pain for years and years before getting the correct treatment, lets help Endometriosis uk provide vital support services, reliable information and a community for those affected by endometriosis. They are a very small organisation, striving for big results. We thank you for your support, it really is much appreciated! The BodyFitters x
