There was a time not so long ago when endometriosis was never mentioned in public let alone in a film!
END-O is a free film you can watch on-line - a warmhearted comedy about two young women with endometriosis.

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month.
The month aims to raise awareness and educate the public on this important women's health issue, while raising funds for endometriosis research.
This week in Parliament I wanted to highlight some incredible groups who do so much to support women with endo, including:
EndoActive Australia & NZ
Endometriosis Australia
QENDO
Pelvic Pain Foundation of Australia
Endo Perth Sisters
Endometriosis Western Australia
These groups provide the most amazing support. To any woman suffering with endometriosis, there are people out there to help you, please get the help that you need. ... See MoreSee Less

What happens if zombies were real? Not dead, but living. Barnabas, who is a self-diagnosed sociopath, has activated a lethal pandemic. Like salt is to slugs, HV-RE6 is to humans. The stage has been set; the virus spreads. Now Barnabas watches humanity writhe, like the parasites he believes them to be.
Hade, Justin and London are ordinary people living ordinary lives. The world around them has become chaotic. Food shortages are rampant, the stock market is fluctuating wildly and an economic crisis is on the way. When no help is forthcoming, they realize they must leave all they’ve known and head north. From Florida to Maine, they must fight obstacles, rabid dogs and zombies that get in their way. They must face their fears and survive. There is no help coming, the Mad Dog Event has spread too rapidly. Hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of the zombies are mutating, becoming focused and targeting them. How many bullets can you fire before they overrun, swarm and engulf you? These creatures do not lumber along, but are swift and as fast as the uninfected.
Guang and Jia’s days are numbered. Beijing is filled with hundreds of thousands of jiangshi (zombies), and their numbers are growing fast. Guang must find the courage to leave the city. They must escape Beijing and find a safe haven, but with the billions that inhabit China, that’s gonna be a little tricky.

FIVE MYTHS ABOUT ENDO:
Here is an article from Harvard Medical School
by Kelly Bilodeau, exec editor of Harvard Women's Health Watch.
5 myths — and the facts — about endometriosis:
Myth 1: The symptoms are just a heavy period. Women with endometriosis sometimes assume that their symptoms are a normal part of menstruation, and when they do seek help they are sometimes dismissed as overreacting to normal menstrual symptoms. But in fact, something much more serious is going on than period cramps. One theory is that the pain occurs because even when endometrium-like tissue is outside the uterus, it continues to respond to hormonal signals and produce chemicals that cause inflammation and pain.
During the course of the menstrual cycle, this endometrium-like tissue thickens and eventually bleeds. But unlike endometrial tissue in the uterus, which is able to drain through the vagina each month, blood from displaced tissue has nowhere to go. Instead, it pools near the affected organs and tissues, irritating and inflaming them. The result is pain, and sometimes the development of scar tissue that can form a web, fusing organs together. This may lead to pain with movement or sexual activity.
Myth 2: Endometriosis only affects the pelvic region. The most common locations for endometriosis growths to occur are within the pelvis, such as on the outer surface of the uterus, the bladder, and the fallopian tubes. But endometriosis may occur anywhere in the body. Rarely, endometrium-like tissue has been found in the lungs, for example.
Myth 3: Endometriosis is always painful. Not everyone with endometriosis experiences pain. It’s not uncommon for a woman to learn she has endometriosis only after she begins investigating why she is having difficulty getting pregnant. Endometriosis is the leading cause of infertility in the United States. Having the condition also increases the likelihood of miscarriage and other problems in pregnancy. However, the good news is that the vast majority of women with endometriosis are ultimately able to have a child.
Myth 4: Endometriosis can be prevented. There’s no clearly understood cause for endometriosis, so at this point there is no known way to prevent it. Certain steps to help lower oestrogen levels in the body can reduce your risk, according to the US Office of Women’s Health. Oestrogen can fuel the growth of endometriosis and magnify symptoms. You can reduce your oestrogen levels by choosing a lower-oestrogen birth control method, losing weight if you are overweight, and getting regular exercise.
Myth 5: Endometriosis always improves after menopause. Although endometriosis symptoms occur most often during menstruation, for some women they last well after monthly cycles end. Even after a woman goes through menopause, the ovaries continue to produce small amounts of estrogen. Endometriosis growths may continue to respond to the hormone, causing pain. So, while symptoms of endometriosis improve in many women, menopause doesn’t bring relief to all. Some women who have gone through menopause may opt for surgical procedures to remove endometriosis implants or adhesions, or even hysterectomy and oophorectomy (removing the ovaries). However, these procedures are not always successful in controlling pain. Hormonal therapies, too, appear to be less effective in women after menopause. ... See MoreSee Less
