I've (had)endo, as is typical, unknowingly for years till diagnosed, and would gladly share all I have learned from the research I've done & the treatment experience I've had. There's so much press & education out there about breast cancer & other conditions yet more women go undiagnosed or undertreated with endo than almost all other diseases. It can be painful & disabling, yet many in the medical profession are quite ignorant about it. Much more organization & education is needed to improve care for women with endometriosis. Just to take one aspect of endo, not even the most serious but certainly very common - The millions, billions even of menstual cramps women endure could be drastically reduced if there was more attention & concern given to this disease. When I was finally treated properly by a true endo specialist, I stopped that cycle of pain & haven't had a menstrual cramp since!
