@itsnotjustaperiod.uk: "You have to become some kind of advocate, some kind of knowledge warrior... why am I a warrior? I'm not very well." ‼️ If you haven't yet watched 'Emma Barnett: Fighting Endometriosis' then DO NOT WAIT! It is an incredible documentary that had us in tears throughout 😭 Emma's words captured something important that so many women with endometriosis feel; the pressure and expectation to be an advocate as well as a patient 😔 The reality is that if we want a timely diagnosis, the correct treatment and life changing surgery then we must become the expert 🤓 Advocacy shouldn't be a requirement for receiving good care but that is where we find ourselves 🤯 So while diagnosis delays, misinformation, and dismissal still exist, knowledge can help us navigate a system that isn't always easy to access. Patient's aren't resposible for fixing the healthcare system ❌ But we will always be hear to amplify their voices, advocate on their behalf and give you the tools to feel empowered while seeking answers 💪 💗 So that one day, becoming an ""endo warrior"" won't be necessary 💗 Inspired by @painfully.curious #endowarrior #endoawareness #emmabarnettdocumentary #fightingendometriosis #endometriosis
