In Endo Stories, Elizabeth Hurley bravely tells the story of her decade-long misdiagnosis of endometriosis. Elizabeth’s pain started when she was 14 years-old. Ten years later, after having lost an ovary and being consistently dismissed by the medical community, she received her diagnosis of endo. On receiving her diagnosis, Elizabeth writes, “being able to put words to the pain was the best gift I’ve ever received.” 

Read Elizabeth’s full story here. And remember, you too can share your story. We need your voices now more than ever. Either visit this page for further details, or email writers@endofound.org. 

Last Saturday, March 28th, The Worldwide EndoMarch took place online as a webinar. Thank you to everyone who participated, and to Dr. Camran Nezhat, Dr. Farr Nezhat, and Dr. Ceana Nezhat for organizing such a powerful event. We are inspired and excited to have closed out Endo Awareness Month as a community.

Eleanor Thom is a comedian, writer, and author of Private Parts: How To Really Live With Endometriosis. In a recent article in the Huffington Post, “Endometriosis Means I’ve Been On ‘Lockdown’ For 23 Years. Here’s My Advice On Staying Positive,” Thom shares how endometriosis prepared her for isolation during this time of quarantine. 

As an endo patient, Thom writes that she has “learnt tricks galore to manage mental health and perfected the art of what one does during house arrest.” From exercising to craft-making, she shares every tip on how to stay positive and cope during this uncertain time. “My biggest advice,” she writes, “is to try to look for the good bits."
