I’ve left the army now but I found an employers endometriosis leaflet online and gave to my troop commander . Once he read it and understood the situation he informed (With my consent ) other seniors so if my endo did kick off they were very understanding. Also my doctors at the med centre we’re happy to sign me off for it whenever I needed. If it was just for phys or a few days in bed. I was honest, didn’t milk it so they respected that and aided it every well.

The lads the same rank weren’t great at first . But my mates were supportive and everyone soon got over it . I pushed my self hard on my good days so the endo days didn’t really get acknowledged after a while :)

Good luck!! Know your own body, don’t over do it otherwise you just burn out. With the army , the more they know there more they’ll understand so just been honest with ur doc and seniors that you feel need to no. :)

Hi I'm serving and I've just been diagnosed. I'm looking for someone else that's been through this 😕 it seems as though the lads saying 'it's just period pains' is not helping me whatsoever. Did you find any more information?
