For years, I thought my monthly pain was normal. I pushed through cramps that made me dizzy, mood swings that felt like free-fall.
It wasn’t until I talked to a friend that I realized my “normal” might not be.
A specialist later confirmed it: endometriosis.
Getting a name helped me feel less crazy. I wish someone had said sooner, “Pain is your body talking. Don’t ignore it.”
If that’s you—listen in.
