@nourishingapothecary: I spent years thinking my endometriosis symptoms were just part of being a woman. Heavy bleeding. Clotting. Migraines. Vomiting with my period. Bowel symptoms. And that endometriosis fatigue that can be almost impossible to explain to someone who hasn’t experienced it. For a long time, I didn’t realise these symptoms were something I should be investigating. Looking back now, if I could tell my younger self one thing, it would be: please get investigated. Pain that significantly interferes with your life isn’t something you should automatically accept as “just your period”. Very heavy bleeding, worsening pain, significant clotting, gastrointestinal symptoms around your cycle and debilitating fatigue are all worth discussing with your healthcare team. My symptoms affected my quality of life and my mental health when I was younger. My own experience with endometriosis is also a huge part of why I’m so passionate about helping women with it today. I’m Mel, a naturopath at Nourishing Apothecary with a special interest in endometriosis and fertility. If you’re living with endometriosis or experiencing symptoms you’re concerned about, you can book a free discovery call with Mel to find out how we may be able to support you. Consultations are available via Zoom Australia wide. www.nourishingapothecary.com #endometriosis #endometriosisawareness #periodpain #womenshealth #fertilitynaturopath
