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.
