Happy Endometriosis Awareness month! Our goal this year is to spread accurate information about #endometriosis and stop the misinformation that causes harm to endo patients.
The entire community mourns her passing, and our prayers are with her loved ones. Jahmby's legacy will live on in the fight against endometriosis. #EndoWarrior
Our hearts are shattered by the loss of @JahmbyKoikai, an extraordinary endometriosis advocate for all. She was a warrior in every sense of the word. Her passion, strength, & relentless dedication inspired us all and touched the lives of so many in our community and beyond.
I will proudly wear this bracelet in solidarity with my #endometriosis patients. END ENDO! Perfect sentiment. Thanks to the special patient and mother who were buying for themselves, and got me one too ❤️ #endendo#gynsurgeon@theendoco@littlewordsproj

A great opportunity to see Below the Belt for free alongside NYU medical students & faculty. You'll also have the opportunity to ask questions in a post-screening panel discussion with NYU's Division Director of Minimally Invasive Gynecological Surgery Dr. Ted Lee & Shannon Cohn.
Jenneh Rishe, BSN, RN @JayRishe and founder of The Endometriosis Coalition Inc. @theendoco shares her #endometriosis story with us:
Jenneh's symptoms first appeared at age 27. What started first as cyclical pain around her period soon became persistence and severe.
After years of countless doctor appointments, tests, and procedures, Jenneh received an #endometriosis diagnosis. @JayRishe @theendoco
It takes a full health care team of experts to diagnosis and treat endometriosis, Jenneh adds. #SWHRtalksEndometriosis
Be your own best advocate, says Jenneh. @JayRishe @theendoco
"We're told that our symptoms are normal, and they’re not. Excruciating pain is never normal. Excruciating pain that keeps you from functioning is never normal."
Jenneh @JayRishe founded The Endometriosis Coalition Inc. @theendoco to create an advocacy and support space for individuals with #endometriosis.
