My Story…
For over 16 years my partner, Melissa, went undiagnosed for endometriosis. Her whole life she was treated as though her severe pain was normal to experience, or worse, the pain was all in her head. Finally, in the Fall of 2020, when her pain was so bad that we had to make nightly ER trips, including one night when she passed out in the waiting room from the sheer pain, the medical system was forced to take her seriously. That night was one of the scariest and, at the same time, most relieving nights of my life. Finally, doctors believed her. It was clear to them that she had been suffering from Endo for an obscene amount of time and they had been wrong. They were wrong the whole time. I am running for Melissa, and I hope you will consider donating. Your donation will go directly toward the necessary action of providing education, and impacting policy around Endometriosis in Canada. Just remember, 1 in 10 people who menstruate suffer from Endo, meaning odds are you know someone too.
