Thank you so much for this article. I read it when it was first published and immediately sent it to my 21 yo daughter. She has been experiencing various health issues for years. We thought she had finally found the root cause (allergies) but there was something about reading your story that sparked a feeling of urgency to revisit the nagging feeling I have had off and on since she started her (horrifically painful) periods that she might have endometriosis. Long story short, she just had excision surgery today with one of the top endo surgeons in the country. Your choice to share your experience is without a doubt the reason she was able to get the help she needed instead of going through years of mystery pain and the other potential problems of undiagnosed endo. I believe that God is in the details of our lives and I definitely see it in this circumstance. Thank you to you and to the Free Press for publishing this.
