"Hey everybody I haven’t been on here in a long time. Since October I have been having really bad Gi issues and I had no idea that could be because of endometriosis. I have been on birth control for two years and I thought it was helping but I am not so sure. I finally got my doctor to give me a referral to see a specialist and received a list of doctors in my area that seem to be good from someone else battling endometriosis. I am going to fight and keep fighting because this is not normal and I am not no little girl no more that would listen to there lies. If you have any advice for me as I go through this new journey please let me know?
I hope y’all have a amazing day"
