Yes yes yes to this. Had endometriosis for years but no doctor believed me. I was only recently diagnosed. Women are treated like shit by doctors.

So glad you finally got through the fight for a diagnosis. 3 years from my diagnosis and I still feel as bolshy as that lil goat about all the years my pain was dismissed.

Lol good for you that you finally have confirmation.

How smug were you when they gave you the results? :D

Need a meme for when you just give up and live with the pain after being dismissed over and over 😭

Sending woo woo and good vibes for finding pain management that works for now and doctors who will listen. It took me over 2 decades of progressively worse symptoms before I got answers, don't give up ❤

A circle for women to talk about our health challenges and successes, share tips, vent, find solace and sisterhood as we navigate illness, health and the space in between.

This is a Female Only Woman Centered Health Support Circle

Guidelines and Rules

Welcome Sister: If you were observed female at birth or assigned female at birth you are welcome here. If you are not female, you will be banned. If you are a female who identifies differently than as a woman there is a place for you here but it is not a place for you to center discussions on your identity or police woman centered language.

Please be Mindful: This is a support circle, not a debate circle. Respect other women's health decisions. If you have strong opinions on a health topic please consider making your own posts on the topic and not derailing someone else's post or comments, especially if they state they are not looking for advice. Sometimes discussion or debate will also best be had in other Circles, like /o/STEM or /o/WomensLiberation. Dangerous and misleading information is subject to deletion.

Our Health is not your Pot of Gold: No advertising, spam, sales, MLM, or self promotion of businesses and/or products.

Please be Careful: This space is not private, this space is not "safe". Nothing here should be construed as medical advice, posts and comments here have not been vetted by a doctor. Always check in with your primary care provider for appropriate diagnosis and treatment for health concerns.

On Building the Space: When you post your story or comment on someone else's post you are helping build this women's centered support space. Your voice is important; sharing our stories, gifs, tips and tricks, memes, health news, rants, and raves is important. There are very few places left that center women, by actively participating you are helping us build this one.

The Sitewide Rules and Sitewide Guidelines are both enforced here.
