After a decade of masked symptoms, questions and fears Abbie made the brave decision to pay for a diagnostic laparoscopy. She talks us through the risks that come with that decision and how this surgery isn't as straight forward as being diagnosed or not being diagnosed. PLUS, Abbie is now turning her pain into purpose, as she takes on the monumental 3 Peaks Challenge to raise money for Endometriosis UK and Wild Women's Outdoors Club at Leicester Outdoor Pursuits Centre.
