Episode description
I’m so pleased to speak to Jen Moore, a medical campaigner and author of the new book, Endometriosis: Understand your symptoms, Get the right treatment, Reclaim your life on today's episode of Period Story podcast.
In this episode, Jen shares:
- Why it took 22 years to finally get an endometriosis diagnosis
- How a failed surgery led to her groundbreaking medical gaslighting campaign They Said What?
- How therapy helped her with the emotional healing required after having a hysterectomy
- How she almost needed a new endometriosis diagnosis after her hysterectomy due to the spread of the condition on her ovaries, bowels, kidneys and bladder
- How a casual conversation with a friend led to her writing a book on endometriosis
- Her advice for those struggling to get a diagnosis
- And of course, the story of her first period
Jen says that endometriosis is such an individual condition and it’s so important that we don’t compare journeys - the only comparison is with yourself.
Thank you, Jen!
