About

Image description: Camilla wears a purple cardigan with a pink and white striped top. She has brown hair tired up in a messy bun and is wearing glasses. She is sat with her head leaning on her hand, holding a cup of tea in a blue mug. There are three books piled infront of her with the spines reading ‘all about endo’.

Hi my name is Camilla and I’m a cardigan obsessed, tea-loving bookworm. Alongside this, I am living with Endometriosis.

Like many others, my access to care and treatment has been greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Under normal circumstances, Endometriosis can be a very challenging condition to navigate in medical care, as it is often overlooked and the research underfunded – resulting in misdiagnosis and a lack of effective treatment. Add a pandemic on top of that and it gets complicated!

Given this, I thought I would start All About Endo – an educational blog and accompanying comic strip to raise awareness, provide helpful information and resources, as well as providing tips on managing the disease based on my own experience of living with the (very often painful) symptoms.

It was a constant struggle for me as my health deteriorated and new symptoms developed, to find GPs who fully listened and understood. Thinking back to those early days and the lack of awareness and knowledge surrounding the condition, I hope that the information I intend to highlight helps fellow Endometriosis warriors and anyone hoping to learn more about this disease 🎗️

*Please note: I am not a doctor and all information contained on this site has been gathered through research, discussions with medical professionals and my personal experience of living with Endometriosis.
