Please listen with discretion as this series contains mature content that could possibly be triggering to some individuals. Mention of depression, suicidal ideation, medical trauma, sexual assault, disorder eating and other sensitive topics may come up. Please listen at your own discretion and remember this podcast is never meant to be taken as medical advice. The stories in the It's Not Just A Bad Period Series are difficult to listen to. And I want to keep it that way because they aren't just stories, but the harrowing realities of each warrior that is bravely taking part. Although endometriosis was first identified over 160 years ago, substantial gaps in adequately addressing this disease remains. From research being severely underfunded to outdated medical procedures still being used, this disease is a beast to live with but existing in the current medical system makes it exponentially worse! I wish I could say these circumstances only exist for a few unlucky warriors but that’s not true. This is the typical experience of an endometriosis warrior and it’s time the world hears it!
In the Series this week you'll meet Samantha and hear about her experience navigating the medical system in Minnesota. This warrior has been through the ringer and has a message every endo warrior needs to hear! From bladder symptoms, multiple surgeries and doctors left not knowing what else to do, Samantha bravely shares how this progressive disease can change every aspect of your life. We chat about the importance of sharing our realities and the important work the online endo community does. We both share how it's our hope that Series like this one and our posts on Instagram will pave the way for the change and representation our community needs.
