Be #StomaAware, as can see from this photo you would never know I have 2 stoma bags underneath my clothes. But yet time & time again I get judged on my appearance.
We need to remember not all disabilities are visible π«Ά

New figures show only five per cent of women think their health is treated as a priority by the NHS. Almost 50 charities and health bodies are urging the Government to speed up action to improve access and treatment for women and girls.
They say the Government should make good on their campaign promise to prioritise women's health as they reform the NHS.
Thank you to Cath Burns & her amazing team at @BBCNews for wanting to tell my story π«Ά we are in crisis point here in the UK when it comes to gynaecology care! #endometriosis
I will be on @bbc5live at 7:05am & then @BBCNews at 12:30pm sharing my journey on how endometriosis led to my two stomas & why we should be taking this condition much more seriously. Iβll also be sharing my thoughts on the catastrophic gynaecology waiting times! #endometriosis
Getting to horse ride with my daughter for the first ever time was the best experience. Having my SNS removed was the best decision because it means I can do this β€οΈ #HorseRiding#ChronicIllness
The fact we still 16 years on from when I was dismissed & ridiculed at times in school for my painful periods (which was later diagnosed in stage 4 severe endometriosis), & we are still no further forward is beyond me
This is why at @Menstrual_H_P we are working continuously with school/colleges/universities to help support not only students, but teachers in developing their knowledge and understanding on all things menstrual health.
This to me is absolutely disgusting! In the 16 years I have been out of school we havenβt changed one bit. Weβve not tried to even understand that young people have debilitating symptoms that transpire to be conditions like endometriosis,adenomyosis etc. Infuriating #PeriodPain
What a week π²π²π²π²
Iβve only gone and been nominated for an award. Absolutely honoured to have been nominated for the Gender Equality Champion Award. Iβve never been nominated for anything in my life so this is a very surreal moment π₯Ή.
