122. Laughing Through the Worst of It: Yvonne Rogalski's Endo Story

Thank you to Feedspot for selecting us as one of the Top 29 Endometriosis Podcasts, Top 61 Medical Stories Podcasts, and Top 6 US Endometriosis Podcasts on the web.

In this episode, I sit down with Yvonne Rogalski, author of Hysterectomy: A Memoir, to talk about her decades-long fight with endometriosis and how she found her way through it with dark, disarming humor.

We get into:

• What it actually took for Yvonne to be believed, and to get access to treatment
• Why she chose to write about this chapter of her life with humor instead of just heartbreak
• What recovery looked like when it didn't go the way she expected
• An important note for anyone listening: hysterectomy does not cure endometriosis.
