@rachelhblank: It takes an average of 10 years to be diagnosed with endometriosis. Ten years of pain being dismissed. Ten years of being told it’s “normal.” Ten years of advocating to be taken seriously. Endometriosis is not rare. And suffering in silence shouldn’t be part of the diagnosis. This Endometriosis Awareness Month, believe women the first time. #EndometriosisAwareness #WomensHealth #HealthAdvocacy #HealthcareReform #womenshealthmatters
