23. After three children her pain became unbearable, painful sex, pelvic congestion syndrome, and neuropathy in her feet.
Lisa had pain early on and her guidance counselor in High School suggested it may be Endometriosis but soon after that Lisa was pregnant with her first child, not knowing what Endo was at this time she fought through her pain for many years until it began to be consistent daily. Second-guessing herself with three small children at home, she still knew something was off as her sex was very painful so she began to see a myriad of doctors. She had a diagnostic surgery and confirmed she, in fact, did have Endo. But after this surgery, she began to feel worse. She found an Endo specialist and was also diagnosed with Pelvic Congestion Syndrome...she had a procedure this..listen in to hear about it. Now she waits to have excision surgery as her procedure was canceled due to COVID-19. Want to keep the conversation going?

22. Dr. Nicholas Fogelson Endometriosis expert; talks all things endo, gives us a peak behind the medical curtain.
I asked Dr. Fogelson to come on the podcast as I see he is very active on social media and his compassion for helping people who suffer from Endo, he not only wants to help educate but is down to Earth and very straight forward about why it is hard to get medical care for Endo. Dr. Fogelson provides expert level gynecologic surgery and endometriosis care in Portland, OR at Northwest Endometriosis and Pelvic Surgery. He came on to answer all of my questions about Endo, the medical field, and why doctors do not understand Endo and people who have it. We had a very candid and honest conversation that I believe everyone should listen to if you have Endo.
