journey to endometriosis diagnosis | raw & vulnerable

I documented vulnerable moments before and after doctors appts to give an honest look at getting an endometriosis diagnosis. I wanted to share these moments to help someone else not feel so alone in their own journey. I know that I was watching so many endo vlogs leading up to my surgery. when dealing with a chronic illness, it's nice to knowing you're not alone. I hope this video can help at least one person feel more prepared, at ease or not so lonely on their endo journey.
