I love all the amazing work you do and want to keep supporting your page, but I need you to know that I find graphic images like this disturbing. It worries me that others may too, and decide to unlike or unfollow what you are doing because of the images. It might be worth considering posting links like this with a trigger warning, and choosing no image or an alternate image (like a logo) when the main image is this graphic.
Thanks for this link. As someone who also suffers from thoracic/ diaphragmatic endo, I get tired of the limited recognition of endo in this area. Many say it’s rare, but I don’t believe it is as rare as many think. My cousin also has it on her diaphragm, so 2 within the one family. I believe that people just don’t link their symptoms with endo as pain typically so far from pelvis. It took me many years to link my shoulder pain and upper abdominal and chest pains to being caused from endo. Dr’s need to be more thorough in their examinations and start asking questions about pain in other areas. And to add to your support, I personally have no problem with the picture on the link. It’s the horrible reality of the disease, perhaps it will help non sufferers take the pain more seriously when they see the damage it creates. You are both doing an amazing job....thank you for all you do in continuing to raise awareness about this hideous disease xx
Thanks for sharing. Thoracic endo has been my battle for the past 12 years😔
I think I have this, and have done for a while. Hopefully my new doctor will listen and look.
I knew a woman with this. Very severe.

Students could learn about endometriosis as part of sex education
theguardian.com
States will be asked to add topics such as menstruation and pelvic pain to school curriculum
Hi EndoActive! I love this and it is amazing that this will be a part of the plan! But I have a concern about it in Queensland (I'm not 100% about other states) sex education isn't a mandatory part of the curriculum and providing sex education in schools is up to the discretion of the principle of the school! It would be great if this could be addressed as well so that everyone can learn about endo sooner! Love you work ladies!
The doctors, gynaecologists and surgeons that then treat these girls need more education. It definitely needs to be talked about in schools.
I suffered debilitating endo pain for 20plus years before being diagnosed, thought I had severe periods. I collapsed at times, mother never even questioned a doctor about it. She regularly gave me a glass of brandy to ease the pain. That was all the help I ever received.
This is so awesome! I could have been diagnosed so much earlier if it weren’t for my own ignorance (and shyness). This can help so many younger women know what pain should and shouldn’t feel like. Hopefully it opens the topic up for for women to talk amongst themselves more too. Yippee. Knowledge is empowerment 🙂
Awesome news, congrats and thanks to all who have fought so hard to get endo recognised and better diagnosis and treatments, still a long way to go but so good to see the wheels in motion.
My mother friends & sisters never talked about period & normality. This would have helped me so much. 💛
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Finally!!!
Fantastic development!

The comments on the 9 news post are horrible. People just don’t get it do they? 😡😢
I’m not even going to read the comments because I know it will anger me. The news piece explaining what endo is an it’s symptoms...... ‘discomfort’?!?!?!?? 😡
Hi Syl. As an endo warrior myself, I thank you and all the other amazing people who have campaigned for more funding and awareness for this horrible, feral condition. x
I suffered from 22 to 38 when I miraculously had a gorgeous baby girl who is now 23. I had a number of surgeries and one involved removing my appendix which had endo in it. Pain was off the scale. Pain is a very personal experience. If you don't know or understand it, be grateful and have compassion for those who do have pain. In my day it was not something many people knew about. Lucky I had good medical care. For those who suffer you have my understanding. I'm glad there is a growing awareness about this 'invisible' condition.
At least it will create more awareness. It's the news not a medical show you can't go into the details of how painful it is and how it can effect fertility in some. I suffered for many years and had to explain to people what is was, it was difficult even for women to understand. It was even harder for men to understand. Just the fact it is on the news is good for sufferers. Every who has the condition is different too. I say good on her for speaking up.
I wish her all the best, how amazing that she happens to be the yellow wiggle 💛
Glad it might finally get some proper attention.
Poor bugger. Hopefully it can help to raise more awareness it’s a nasty illness.
Good on her for sharing and brining more awareness when she totally didn’t need to
Discomfort...
Janelle, Emma wiggle has endo too....
Makes me so angry to read all the comments in the back of that thread! Stupid, uneducated, horrible people making their opinions known. What a shame people will never understand until they have to face a life without children. It’s horrible! Dianne M. East

Red Meat and Endometriosis | Fertility Food to Get Pregnant
natural-fertility-info.com
Some studies show that endometriosis can be linked to eating red meat. Advice on the optimal diet for fertility and getting pregnant.
This article is great! 🙌 I'm not vegan, i did try it for a while but didn't end up sticking to it. But i notice a huuuge difference with my endo when i stick to a healthy balanced diet. I don't really eat much meat anyway and i rarely ever have red meat too and i definitely think that plays a big part in controlling my endo and flare ups!

Plan to tackle endometriosis top of list at COAG health ministers meeting
smh.com.au
The federal Health Minister Greg Hunt will place a draft national action plan on endometriosis front and centre at the COAG health ministers meeting on Friday.
This is good news. Too late for me for I hope future generations of endo sufferers have better care, understanding, respect and treatment.
All your hard work is finally being heard with results💙💚❤️
Incredible!
Wonderful!
