Signed

At least 10% of women have this misunderstood debilitating and lonely disease.

Bumping - I've never suffered from it myself, for which I'm very grateful, it's shameful so many women do and seem expected to just put up with it.

Bump

Bumping for you OP

I am surprised that this isn't attracting more attention as it is such a painful condition affecting so many women. The delays in getting diagnosis and treatment are truly shocking

Signed and shared. This needs serious attention, it affects so many women.

Thanks guys. Yeah I think people maybe just think it affects others but no clue that your neice/ girlfriend/ wife and child could be suffering and getting little care or answers.

I mean you'd think mumsnet would run a campaign?

Signed, finally diagnosed after 10 years just over 20 years ago. Am reluctant to ever visit a GP after being gaslight about my symptoms for so long, told to my face I must have a low pain threshold, other women cope just fine. I am still so angry about it all. Love Tiktok/Insta also raising awareness.

Thank you for this.

Bump!

Have you asked them? There are many good causes that would benefit women and families competing for their attention and unless you draw this petition to their attention they won't necessarily have noticed it.

Signed!

Signed. I was fobbed off for 20 painful years and when I eventually got my lap they couldn’t remove all the endo because it was so close to my lung!

The lack of knowledge and funding is so shocking and really infuriates me.

How would you go about asking mumsnet to run a campaign?

done

I’ve just seen that March is endometriosis awareness month so would be amazing if they could do a campaign! I think you just email them 😌

Signed

Thanks will try that

Please bump the post if you can. Thank you.

You could hit the Report button on your post and ask - perhaps they could pin a link to the petition during March so that more people see it. Maybe you or another poster who has endometriosis could offer to write something about it as an intro, that sort of thing?

Signed, dh has signed it as well

And dd just signed as well 😀

Thank you
