As a steadfast supporter of the Endometriosis Foundation of America, we hope you know your gifts are life-changing for people fighting this disease. And before 2021 draws to a close, you can double the difference you make because your gift will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to $50,000 by Northwell Health (until 12/31). Every day our team is reminded of the stress and suffering people with endometriosis face. We hear the stories. Stories of being told “it’s all in your head.” Stories of years of misdiagnosis. Stories of consistent crippling pain. But we also hear stories of hope. Stories of promising research. Stories of new legislation to support federal funding. Stories of people coming together to support one another. And it’s people like you who give all of us hope. Thank you for being there for those with endometriosis today and every day. We do not take it for granted because we know our work would not be possible without you!

Over on EndoTV, Dr. Tayyaba Ahmed talks with EndoTV host Diana Falzone about managing endometriosis symptoms through pelvic physical therapy. Dr. Ahmed is a pelvic pain specialist passionate about treating pelvic pain, including those who have endometriosis.

This week on Endo Stories, Ruby Tolbert shares her story of how a diagnosis of uterine fibroids delayed her endometriosis treatment. When Ruby was first diagnosed with fibroids, surgery was not a personal option for her, and she tried, instead, to ease the pain herself. “For years,” Ruby writes, “I carried this pain.”
