More details

I am a 35 year old women that had suffered with bad periods and bowels for just under 20 Years. I have been back and forth to doctors in this time being advised I have IBS and bad periods, being put on prescriptions I didn’t need. February 2022 I was finally diagnosed with stage 3 endometriosis. This has affected my life in many ways and I do not want to see other women go though what I have.
