Hi my name is Natasha Ross and I am 34 years old. I was born in Zimbabwe and have lived in the UK for the past 12 years. I was diagnosed with endometriosis when I was 22, after suffering with various symptoms for years.
I hope to use my experiences to help support others, raise awareness about the condition and support Endometriosis UK who work tirelessly to help woman with this disease. When I was first diagnosed there was little-to-no support or information available to me and my family, we felt very alone. I think it's important to speak out about endometriosis so that it is recognised and taken more seriously in our schools, by our GPs and hospitals, by our employers and communities in general. |

My husband Ian will occasionally be at group meetings to assist me. We'd also like to introduce a partners-evening where he will share his experiences and feelings on how endo has affected his life and impacted on our relationship. I hope this will encourage your partners to join in, ask questions and feel supported as well. In our group I would like to cover topics such as pain management, fertility, diet and nutrition, exercise, relationships, alternative therapies, employment rights and endo-in-general. I hope to be able to get some professional speakers to bring their expertise to the group.
We encourage you to come to the Bournemouth endometriosis support group meetings and feel free to bring along a friend, partner or family member, all are welcome.
You can contact me for further information by clicking on the link below. I strongly believe that we can help each other live with this condition and use our individual experiences to educate, support and enhance our quality of life, even if only in understanding and friendship. I look forward to meeting you.
Natasha
