This post is a long time coming, as I've thought doing a thinkpiece/ documentation/ 'you're not alone'/ whatever the dippy-do you'd like to call it on this disorder for awhile, but I didn't know if it was too 'personal.' There's an odd sort of taboo that still goes on around periods & all that comes with them, including period related disorders. I think it’s amazing that endometriosis has been having its spotlight lately, as it should. The more we talk about these things, the less of a stigma there is. Living with an invisible illness can be a strange feeling, because it's invisible. If you don't already know the person has it, you won't know.
