Endo is Complex, Part 1

In episode 07, the Flow team talk Endometriosis (part 1 - because Endo is Complex!)

BloodStream Podcast host.Amy Board joins hosts Jessica and Christie to unpack complex experiences of endometriosis.

The Flow team speak to Lauren from Endo Black about her journey as a patient and advocate (rallying for patient led research and for accurate representation), and to Alison about her patient journey of coping with pain and dismissal for 7 years before finding treatment - AND the team talks about what it means to be on such journeys of seeking medical support for the extreme experience of "endo".

PLUS, as always, a reminder that You're Not Crazy (ie: in instances of medical gaslighting...)

Program Notes:

Our patient interviews discuss their respective journeys with endometriosis - including instances of ruptured cysts, fibroids, adenomyosis, extreme pain - and the arduous task of continuing to seek adequate medical support. Our Flow team is looking forward to sharing part 2 next month... Learn more about the advocacy organizations mentioned in this episode below:
