Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my Just Giving page.

I suffered with bad periods from the age of 14 until I was diagnosed in my late twenties.  I hadn't realised I had a high pain thresh-hold and my pains weren't normal.    I would be on painkillers for 3 weeks of the month.  Moody with my hormones all over the place.   It ended up I couldn't have children naturally.  

After 3 operations and 7 years, my symptoms subsided and I was free of the pain.  Have been on HRT for 20 years. 

I hear from 2 #YPOM running buddies that it still takes years to get a diagnosis.  How can this be?.  Not enough GP's are aware of the symptoms.

So I am raising money for the charity and awareness of the debilitating condition.
