"When women say that I do not know what suffering is — could you still say that to me now? In total I have had over 10 surgeries due to endometriosis, and not a single one of them was excision. I had adenomyosis, and still have interstitial cystitis.
"At my worst, I bled for 1 year and 9 months STRAIGHT, HEAVY, NO STOP. (That cost thousands of dollars in tampons alone). I've had more periods than most do in 4 lifetimes combined. Do not tell me, that men do not know what suffering from endometriosis is like. I've been there. I am there."
