“#ChronicPain can disrupt sleep, which in turn, exacerbates the pain, creating a distressing cycle. This disruption heightens #anxiety, reduces pain tolerance, and diminishes emotional resilience, making day-to-day coping a challenge.” https://t.co/I98MOCg95g

Endometriosis deserves space in the healthcare system - and accountability. It's a chronic condition. Pts need consistent NHS follow-ups. Neglect leads to more pain, harder surgeries, and disrupts lives. What more needs to be said? #endometriosis

“Don’t waste a precious minute feeling like a burden. If we could change our situations, we would. Instead, let’s #advocate for one another… And if the word “burden” somehow weasels its way into our heads, may we replace it with warrior.” https://t.co/pV5ZAxKOSN

When doctors dismiss real symptoms, it delays treatment, adds to the trauma, and makes people question their pain. To anyone who has been dismissed or unheard, we believe you and we see you. You deserve answers and better care 💛 #medicalgaslighting #endometriosis

“It’s not fair to have the same expectations from us as you would from a perfectly healthy person. This is a never-ending struggle! Most people tend to forget that #chronicillness is something you have to deal with every day of your life.” https://t.co/y0aReSXydu

“Have you tried [insert random treatment] to feel better?” …You’re basically saying, “I don’t think you’re trying hard enough to feel better. If you really were, you’d try this treatment that I, a layperson with zero medical education, have suggested.”
