EmmaI had my diagnosis of deep infiltrating and ovarian endometriosis and laparoscopy in November 2022. I had heard of endometriosis a few times in my life but didn't realise I could have it until my symptoms flared up considerably in 2021 when I had shingles. Since my operation, I have really wanted to get involved in helping others with endometriosis. Endometriosis UK has been such an important and supportive resource throughout my journey and when I found that a space to help lead the Cambridge group was coming up I had to apply. I joined leading the group in July 2023 and hope to help others feel supported. |

LauraI was diagnosed with endometriosis in January 2014 having suffered from symptoms for over 10 years. I was provided with very little information at the time but found support through the Endometriosis UK online community. Having discovered that there was no support group in my local area, I decided to establish a group as I believe that the chance to meet people in person increases the opportunity to be able to openly share experiences and build a sense of community amongst those affected by the condition. |
