We went from rain with crazy flooding to snow to 70 degrees with an eclipse all in one week. My MS body is not a fan. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I took a few days away from social media but I am back. A break is just necessary sometimes. 🙂

Incredible news! President Biden recently signed an executive order allocating $12 billion towards advancing #womenshealth research & innovation. A huge win for advocates! @EndoFound has been pivotal in this journey. Let's keep pushing for progress! endofound.org/joe-bidens-exe…

I was diagnosed with #endo metriosis when I was 32. I spent 20 years in excruciating pain until I finally got answers.

How long did it take for you to get a diagnosis?

Day 1 of PT is done. I'm a little sore but that's to be expected. Learning the stuff to help my neck makes me hopeful that this may just help. 🧡

I start physical therapy for my neck today. Really hoping this helps. It'd be nice to be able to move my head without pain. 🧡

I am grateful that a GI doctor mentioned endo to you!

This shows the importance of knowing that endometriosis is a full-body disease.

I especially wanted to mention this because endo often has a lot of bowel involvement.

A1 #Endometriosis can have a significant impact on MH due to the #chronicpain , unpredictable symptoms & the emotional toll of living w a chronic illness. The physical discomfort & limitations caused by endo can lead to anxiety, depression & isolation #EverydayEndoChat
