Parents and Friends Group

Gillan

In 2023, after two years of searching for answers, my daughter was diagnosed with endometriosis. Once an active young woman studying dance and drama, she now spends much of her time in bed, coping with pain and exhaustion. Despite everything, she remains a wonderfully positive 23-year-old whose current job is managing chronic pain.

I wanted to set up a Parents and Friends Support Group with Endometriosis UK because I know how difficult it can be to support someone you love who is living with the condition. Learning about endometriosis, while also working out how best to support my daughter, has been a steep learning curve. I hope that by sharing our experiences, we can help others feel better informed, more supported and less alone.
