Hi, Is anyone here affected by endometriosis? I've made a zine & Wordpress site about mine - here are the details if you're interested...
When I hear the name endometriosis, I am struck by the 'O, Sis' at the end of the word - it sounds like an exclamation of empathy. This is something every sufferer ought to receive. But unfortunately the reality is often different.
I've made a 36 page zine describing my story to date, of being diagnosed with stage III endometriosis. And being told "You don't have endometriosis", many, many times, during my road to trying to get care.
My friend Sarah Merton has contributed an essay and artwork, from her position of inside experience, as a fellow sufferer. The zine includes resources I've found useful, and an invite to submit your story to be shared via a Wordpress site, if you'd like to: www.realendostories.wordpress.com
The zine is inclusive and recognises that trans, non-binary and cisgender female people can all have endometriosis in their bodies.
The fee charged goes toward covering my costs and printing more. If cost is an issue for you and you'd like a zine, please message me - no judgement.
I find comfort and connection in relateability and shared experience, perhaps you do too? Hence I'm sharing here. Please feel free to message me if you'd like to chat. Thanks for reading :)

- Hi! I was sharing this with a friend but my browser bans your site as a potential dangerous one. Maybe you should have a look at it?
