In such an uncertain time , dealing with health issues and changing diets , looking at different medications , delayed or irregular cycles and making all sorts of decisions … something beautiful showed up ❤️
Baby Smith | August 2026
Recently I have requested help from the NHS to look into my endometriosis symptoms as they have returned in full force , after 3-4 gynae appointments and being pushed from pillar to post , I demanded a specialist referral in February 2025 … originally being told a minimum of 23 weeks wait I thought 6 months ? Okay lets go.
Fast forward to August … 3 phone calls and an expedited case and the waiting list is still 12-14 months ???
1 in 10 women suffer with endometriosis, how is this okay ?
With the growth of endometriosis cases the medical system and government should be prioritising these patients and pushing for further research to be conducted alongside more clinics being opened to the public, It is nonsense.
If you have any advice or experiences please share them in the comments đź’
ATT: Don’t let doctors peer pressure you into taking medication you don’t want to. If you want an alternative option you are entitled to that choice.
Often doctors will tell you “this pill is your only option” it is not , each of us respond differently and have illnesses that interfere with these medications. 💊
You have to find what works for you , it could be a mix of different types of western or holistic medicine.
Some Tips :
1. Always read contraindications on medication
2. Ensure your body is prepared for a new addition of medication
3. Stand your ground !
4. Love yourself through the process
Hi đź‘‹
Im Emily , an average women living a not so average life
Endometriosis has ravaged my body since 2014 when I got my first diagnosis, fast forward to 2025 with a new diagnosis being fibromyalgia.
I won’t ramble to much here but this page has been created to share my story with others out there that may be on their own journey facing endometriosis and fibromyalgia 🎗️
My goal is to raise awareness and be a support system for others out there , this is not a money making or recognition situation, its just pure experience and fighting the disease one step at a time
Much love ❤️ xxx
