This Is My Endometriosis Story: From a 13-Year-Old Emergency Surgery to Surgical Menopause at 34

In this episode, I’m sharing my story for the first time. Here is the full story of my journey with endometriosis.From my first emergency surgery at 13 years old to multiple surgeries over the years, and now living in surgical menopause at 34, this episode is the most personal one I’ve recorded so far. I talk about what it was really like growing up with endometriosis, how it affected my identity, my mental health, and the way I saw my future, and the emotional reality of living with a condition that changes your life again and again.This episode is longer than the previous ones because it felt important to finally share everything, not just the medical side, but the emotional side too.I couldn’t include everything so if you have any questions please feel free to leave them in the comments or shoot me an email: [email protected] My hope is that by sharing my story honestly, someone listening who feels alone, misunderstood, or overwhelmed will realize they’re not the only one going through this.If you’re living with endometriosis, chronic pain, or an invisible illness, this episode is for you.——Join FLARE on:SUBSTACKhttps://substack.com/@flareendo INSTAGRAMhttps://www.instagram.com/flare.endo FACEBOOKhttps://www.facebook.com/flareendo SPOTIFYhttps://open.spotify.com/show/5IIUzCTHN5Cq9wInIVkLQV?si=1abd4e343fec4ac2  APPLE PODCASTShttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/inside-flare-the-art-of-endo%F0%9F%8E%97%EF%B8%8F/id1886763032PINTERESThttps://www.pinterest.com/flareendo/YOUTUBEhttps://www.youtube.com/@flareendo Xhttps://x.com/flareendo BLAZE Project INTEREST FORMhttps://forms.gle/QaydSRQUexUVDeL4A Art Exhibition SUBMISSION FORMhttps://forms.gle/PGrHWh73HqH8yVCx5WEBSITEhttps://www.flareendo.org/  Get full access to FLARE Journal at flareendo.substack.com/subscribe
