What Age Were You When You Had Your 1st Endo Symptoms?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi Endo Warriors! This is a photo of me around age 15 when I first started experiencing Endo symptoms. I remember temporarily losing my vision twice due to the pain being so bad. I remember feeling so afraid because I was suffering so much with vomiting on my period too and no one thought anything was wrong with me. When you are told there is nothing wrong with you, you stop asking for help because you feel afraid that maybe you are the one who is mistaken.

@A MyEndometriosisTeam Member I'm so sorry. It can be painful to look back at photos of the young you as well. At least for me, I've noticed that because I am older now, I can give the young me the compassion and love I didn't know how to give myself back then. I hope this can be the same for you and you can find comfort in this.

@A MyEndometriosisTeam Member I'm so sorry! The suffering starts at a young age but I look back and think how far I've come in saying 'no' more and taking care of myself when I need to rest.

I first had an ovarian cyst and horrid period pain around the age of 15 and it has worsened with age. Sending you all the love, adorable photo! 🩷
