Have you struggled to get diagnosed, be believed or get the right treatment for endometriosis? This book is for you.
We still don't know what causes endometriosis, and we don't know how to cure it either. What we do know is that it can cause debilitating pain and seriously affect mental health. Endometriosis is not 'just a bad period', it is a whole-body disease which is as common as asthma or diabetes, affecting 1 in 10 women. Yet it is barely covered in medical school, leaving sufferers repeatedly dismissed when trying to access care.
Backed with up-to-date scientific knowledge and interviews with endometriosis specialists and those affected by the condition, Jen Moore gives you all the tools you need to:
- Understand what endometriosis is (and what it is not)
- Deal with the system and get a diagnosis
- Navigate the ins and outs of surgery
- Cope with physical and mental pain
- Fight for better endometriosis care
This beacon of hope is your go-to guide to endometriosis, getting the care you deserve and finally feeling seen and heard.
Jane had a pretty good life. She was a single mother, and she
worked hard for her three kids, who meant the world to her. One
autumn evening she met someone she believed to be the man of her
dreams-the only thing missing in her nearly perfect life. He was
handsome, gentle, quiet, and kind.
Eleven months later, they bought a home and were married. Jane
was so happy. Soon, however, her daughter, Michelle, began to
change; she became distant and withdrawn. Something was wrong, but
Jane couldn't figure out what it was. She never thought to look at
her husband as being the cause her daughter's moodiness or imagine
that it might be somehow related to sexual abuse. Her husband-a
young, handsome man with a nine-to-five job, an ex-wife and kids of
his own-was nothing like her image of a pedophile.
In her memoir, "I Am Gonna Tell," Jane recounts the nightmare
that she, her daughter and sons lived through due to the man Jane
brought into their lives. This is a mother's brutally honest
account of the horrifying discovery of her daughter's sexual abuse
at the hands of her husband-her daughter's stepfather.
WITH BROKEN WINGS is a riveting and engrossing memoir about one
woman's courage and perseverance in battling through, first,
childhood sexual abuse and, later on, horrific physical and sexual
abuse as an adult. It is a true story told in raw and honest
details; a story of heart-wrenching losses, discovery, unwavering
resilience and faith. Jerie Catillo's story is a beautiful gift
because of her rare ability and willingness to bare her soul to the
universe; and because of her passion to reveal the healing she
received after she poured out her broken self to others. WITH
BROKEN WINGS speaks of Jerie Catillo's fight to move forward in her
life-despite all she had to leave behind. It speaks of her
transformation from a broken and torn woman to a woman who has been
set free and who has jubilantly reclaimed her magnificent self and
voice.
