@balancedbyliv: The average woman spends 7–10 years trying to explain themselves before they get an official endometriosis diagnosis. & I think we underestimate what this kind of pain that they’re trying to explain does to a person. It changes your brain. It changes your sense of safety in your own body. Endometriosis is SO much more than a painful period. & if you’ve never experienced this kind of pain that changes your brain, then this is the one time that I hope you never really understand what endometriosis is like… ❤️🩹 #endometriosis #endometriosisawareness #pain #painmanagement #womenshealth
