To those who were just diagnosed with endometriosis or adenomyosis (or really any chronic illness), I am first and foremost so incredibly proud of how much you’ve advocated to get to this stage. I know how daunting and nerve wracking this time can be when a name to your pain is finally provided (after years of waiting). As someone who has lived in chronic pain for more than 12 years, and has had 2 years with a name to their pain, I wanted to pass along my key message to you following a first diagnosis. This video dives into my top reminders and tips for your chronic illness journey, as well as what you can expect throughout your chronic illness journey.

As always, consult with your doctor for additional support and advice if anything feels weird or abnormal in your journey.
