    91. The Journey: Navigating Mental Health with Endometriosis

    91. The Journey: Navigating Mental Health with Endometriosis

    Katrina shares navigating mental health with endometriosis & emphasizes the years it takes to process the impact of Endometriosis on one's emotional well-being. Katrina shares her story and how working with a therapist helped her understand that "Endo is not rational." Many patients struggle with feeling well one day or hour to not feel well at all at the flip of a switch, as well as years of people not believing patients how challenging this disease is.

___LB______________ ,

Thank you!

I’m 42 and feel I’m so late in receiving a diagnosis of endometriosis and having an expert excision surgery. This heartfelt podcast of personal stories has really helped me cope with my experience of the past 12 years leading up to this moment, xo

LiaBlair ,

thank you

I am 22 and have been diagnosed with endo, pcos, and interstitial cystitis. I was diagnosed back in december and was pretty clueless to what all this is. I thought I was going crazy and most of my symptoms might’ve been in my head. This podcast has brought me so much knowledge and comfort. thank you so much for doing this

VGC16 ,

Dr Fenske brought me so much hope. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
