Bloating, bleeding, extremely painful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: black;\">What was your journey to diagnosis like?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"color: black;\">I have endometriosis. I was diagnosed at age 23. It took 8 years of monthly hospital visits to be diagnosed. Age 29, I had a full hysterectomy. I lost a baby just prior to my hysterectomy and never wanted to feel that pain of loss again, so I choose to have the hysterectomy. Nobody took me seriously before being diagnosed, and even after surgery and these years that are now my present struggle. I remember I was told I was in surgery for 5 1\/2 hours, because the surgeon couldn&rsquo;t believe how much endo grew in my body. I remember waking up in my hospital room, which was a semi private room to a nurse waking me up saying \u00ab\u00a0Jennifer you&rsquo;re going home.\u00a0\u00bb I barley knew what was going on. I signed a waver for a longer hospital stay to recover, but it was never met with the hospital. I struggled from age 29 to now to have hormone replacement as I entered menopause. I am going to be 40 years old this year. I&rsquo;ve tried so hard to have someone listen to me that I needed help. Now 10 years later I just got referral back to my gynecologist and now I am on hormone replacement. The pain physically and mentally ruined my family, my kids, my marriage, and myself. My gynecologist said that if I ever have another problem getting someone to refill my hormone replacement to call her immediately. When I think about my journey, and others, there&rsquo;s more women like me who have suffered alone. My experience in the last 10 years has now diagnosed me with severe depression, and unable to work. Recently I was in hospital waiting for a X-ray. I told nurses, and the emergency doctor that no, I wasn&rsquo;t pregnant when they asked. I explained my hysterectomy . I waited 3 hours because they ordered a pregnancy test because they didn&rsquo;t believe me nor read my health record. I wrote a letter to the Health Minister about this incident. I received a reply back, but it never generated anything out of it. I should of never of had to do a pregnancy test, and wait additional 3 hours for that result. Now that it&rsquo;s only been a month since taking hormone replacement, my journey isn&rsquo;t over.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: black;\">How does endometriosis affect your day-to-day life?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"color: black;\">Lost job, lost marriage, lost mental health, lost unborn children.
