Lexi Elven: Try And Persevere When You Feel Lost

Lexi Elven: Try And Persevere When You Feel Lost

What would you do if your period was so painful that you would faint when you were on the toilet? This was the dilemma Lexi Elven, my guest on today’s episode of Period Story faced for 8 years.


In this episode, Lexi shares:



  • Why she turned to Reddit to help her understand why she was in so much pain that she would faint during the first two days of her period
  • The phrase two GPs on an endometriosis Reddit forum told her to say to her doctor, which helped put her on a diagnosis pathway
  • How a second opinion led to her receiving a bowel endometriosis diagnosis after 8 years
  • How yoga has been a helpful tool to manage endometriosis symptoms
  • And of course, the story of her first period


Lexi says that if you’re in a similar situation, it’s important to try and persevere if you feel lost and not to let embarrassment stop you from seeking help.


Thank you, Lexi!
