\n

What are your endometriosis symptoms like?<\/strong> My periods include excruciating pain and heavy bleeding. I work full time in Information Technology. Most of the time, I work with men and it’s awkward to explain to them my condition. So I just take painkillers and suffer in silence. I have just started bringing awareness about endometriosis to others. A lot of people dismiss my pain thinking it’s just period pain, but it’s not even close.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What was your journey to diagnosis like?\u00a0<\/strong>I was diagnosed with Stage 4 endometriosis in 2002 when trying to have a baby. I went to a fertility clinic, and underwent a laparoscopy where I was diagnosed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What was your experience with treatment for endometriosis been?\u00a0<\/strong>I have tried laser surgery, exercise and am now trying massage. I feel like exercise and massage seem to help me cope with the pain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How does endometriosis affect your day-to-day life?\u00a0<\/strong>I work full time and primarily with men. It’s awkward to explain my condition, so I just take painkillers, suffer in silence and run to the bathroom every hour to change my tampons and pads.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How does endometriosis affect your emotional well-being?<\/strong> Main problems are sleep and anxiety. Sleep problems due to pain and anxiety worrying about how bloated I am, am I going to bleed through my clothes, etc.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How has endometriosis shaped turning points in your life up until now and looking toward the future?<\/strong> I am in my 40s. I feel that more awareness and education needs to pushed, so women like me are helped in terms of options at work, etc. Also, treatment. I want to be cured, not living my life coping. It’s like survival more than living.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How have you found hope and support in your endometriosis journey?<\/strong> I live alone and hence I just suffer alone. My friends are great listeners if I want to vent. I have just started massage and monitoring my periods to see how it’s helping. It seems to be helping so far.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What do you think healthcare for endometriosis in Canada should look like?<\/strong> Find a cure, listen to our symptoms and don’t dismiss our stories and what we go through.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What do you think it is important for people to know about the experience of having endometriosis in Canada?<\/strong> People should understand that we women are strong. We live with this pain in silence and yet we still put a smile on our faces and get to work. If we say we are in pain, listen to us, please.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
