I'm done sharing my bone-grinding endometriosis pain - now I want a cure 🔵 Emmabarnett for ipaperviews
Has the fear of millions of women staggering around in unholy pain finally created a national security issue? Not quite .
Mind officially blown. I never knew. But money is money and to be honest, we sufferers ain’t fussy at this point; nothing is changing. Moreover, as Cohn’s film shows, the pain meds and hormonal “solutions” haven’t changed in decades – some more than 30 years. And tragically these treatments can end up with women suffering from other serious conditions and ailments due to longterm and over-usage, such as osteoporosis. This is something we see around the world and here in the UK too. Through being ill with endo, women are getting iller trying to use drugs that aren’t designed for their disease. A cruelty atop of cruelty.
And while more profile-raising of endo has happened in the UK over last few years – so that hopefully more women are diagnosed earlier and may have at least heard of the condition when the news breaks – the time is overdue for action and progress to find a cure, or at the very least, an effective set of targeted treatments.
