NCD story

LaTasha neal

LaTasha neal, United States

I have stage 4 endo, fibroids, and complex and simple ovarian cysts. I was diagnosed in 2010 but have been suffering since I was 16. I am now 30! I had 3 laparoscopies, which didn't do anything but make my condition worse. I suffer from crippling pains 3wks out of a month and some depression also. It's so hard for me to get proper treatment because of insurance reasons. A lot of companies do not support excision for treatment and I cannot afford it out of pocket. Also, a lot of doctors are uneducated on endometriosis so my questions and concerns are barely met with knowledgeable information for me to better my health. I wish the awareness was on a bigger scale. I have problems getting pregnant because of this silent illness and don't have any children , which is the one thing I want in this whole wide world. To be a MOM. I wish things would change and a cure is found. To many women and young girls suffer from this for it to not be a BIG DEAL! We are ENDOWARRIORS!!!
