Thank you for raising much needed awareness about endometriosis @itvlorraine https://t.co/987dTskX3s #EndometriosisAwarenessWeek #EndoAware

[Endometriosis UK @EndometriosisUK]

"women's health problems in the past haven't been discussed properly" @BBCRadioScot #EndoAware #EndometriosisAwarenessWeek

[EndoStats @endostats]

If there is 7-10 years diagnosis delay and 68% of women are misdiagnosed - how far does #endometriosis really reach?

For the first time since pregnancy I have an 'inny' - the bright side of a laparoscopy wound 😂 #endowarrior #endometriosis

@SlySerenity Thank you. Just focusing on recovery and getting my bladder up and running for now :)

[Gerty Allflop @GertyAllflop]

@BlondeBlogger @MsHolyWater Thank you. Still no further forward at the moment.

[Gerty Allflop @GertyAllflop]

@BlondeBlogger @MsHolyWater Not yet, they are hoping it is just a response to pain/trauma and it seems to be improving at the moment :)

[Gerty Allflop @GertyAllflop]

@MsHolyWater Thank you! Now I just need my bladder to behave so I can get out of this hospital!

[Gerty Allflop @GertyAllflop]

So bittersweet to finally have a diagnosis. I'm not crazy! #endometriosis #endosisters #endowarrior https://t.co/Ij4VRrfqLB

My pain now has a name #endometriosis #endowarrior #endosisters https://t.co/yut78L4VIm

Darling women: if your period pain is tears-in-your-eyes bad, don't settle for "all girls have period pain". Get an #endometriosis check. ❤️

[Gerty Allflop @GertyAllflop]

My pain now has a name - it is endometriosis. Scared for the future but relieved that I have an answer. #endowarrior #endosisters

[Gerty Allflop @GertyAllflop]

@EndoLadyUK thank you!

[Gerty Allflop @GertyAllflop]

@MsHolyWater Thank you! First one - terrified!

[Gerty Allflop @GertyAllflop]

Laparoscopy eve! Got a big pan of broth on to feed us for a few days and husband has turned into Monica Geller. #surgeryprep #endometriosis
