2025 didn’t end the way I hoped. My endometriosis 2025 didn’t end the way I hoped.
My endometriosis symptoms have gotten significantly worse this year, and I’ve reached the point where I have to do something about it.

It’s exhausting and honestly infuriating that 1 in 10 women live with this disease, yet there is still no real treatment, no cure, and painfully little research. Women with endometriosis are 30–80% more likely to develop additional autoimmune conditions… so why are we still being ignored? Why are so many of us living in constant pain with so few answers?

I’m fed up.
And if using my small platform can help raise awareness, push for change, and remind even one person they aren’t alone, then I will keep speaking up.

I’m heading into 2026 hopeful that I’ll finally find the right excision specialist, get another surgery, and most importantly… get some relief.

If you’re walking this road too, please know you are not alone.
I’m sending you so much love and I hope this new year brings you real answers, real support, and real healing 💛 #endometriosis #endometriosissupport #endometriosiswarrior #endometriosisawareness #womenshealthmatters
