The Story
Like many others, my journey searching for explanations for my pain is exhausting, debilitating, and far too time-consuming. A reliable, compassionate support group seemed like the bare minimum to ask for as someone fighting for an endometriosis diagnosis — and yet, I kept coming up short.
For too long, I silently accepted that endo support groups just didn’t exist, or if they did, they were few and far between, often failing to follow through on meetings, leaving me with a lingering feeling of disappointment.
As I found connections through the r/endometriosis subreddit page, I discovered that many other members shared my frustration. One night, on a whim, I made a post inquiring about interest in a possible support group. The next day, I woke up to over 40 replies, and Endo Beginnings was born!
