Re: A Cure for Endo - We're with you DeneFrom: kasi (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue Apr 27 17:13:07 2004
i've been thinking about doing some type of endo awareness project on my campus next year (i live on vancover island in british columbia)... my decision became more pronounced when i realized what form of endo i had, and how no one seems to know -what- it is, and they've never heard about it. i did an essay about endo (taking a feminist approach to it... it was for one of my womens studies classes) and i was shocked at all of the personal stories that i looked at, including how doctors look at women with this disease, seeing them as 'weak' and who have a 'low tolerance for pain.' sick, isnt it? the horrible thing about it too is that i read that women who suffer from endo is 10%, and out of this 10%, 30-70% of women are infertile because of it, and it seems unreal that if the stat is THAT high that no one knows about it, and when women are suffering from symptoms of it, the drs dont look that far into it... so frustrating!
