Endometriosis UK told @Refinery29UK “before a diagnosis people may be told their symptoms are normal or even in their head.
This is no way to treat people with #endometriosis in the 21st century”. Huge thanks to @Refinery29UK for covering this in such detail
Endometriosis affects an estimated 176 million women. It is associated with chronic pain, heavy bleeding, and infertility, and can impact on mental, and social wellbeing. You can support the @EXPPECT team here in Edinburgh by taking part in this month’s virtual Kiltwalk weekend.
And another opportunity in my lab ... this one will focus on setting up a tissue resource of biospecimens collected from women with endometriosis. The collection / processing of samples clinical metadata and assisting generation of experimental data. atsv7.wcn.co.uk/search_engin…
In the @GreavesLab we are investigating the role of immune cells, particularly macrophages and how they might be targeted in the future with novel therapies to treat #endometriosis
This is the beginning of incredible change. No longer will young people suffer in silence because they believe their pain is normal or because they're too ashamed to speak up. This is what's possible when we raise our voices. 🎗 Pls RT #menstrualwellbeing2020
I have exciting news!!! From May this year I will be taking up a new position and moving the @GreavesLab to the University of Warwick!!! @BMSatWarwick@warwickmed
🎗💛Endometriosis affects about 1 in 10 women. These incredible ladies are speaking out after spending years in agonising pain, fighting to get a diagnosis. 💛🎗
Meet the World Endometriosis Society's junior ambassadors: endometriosis.ca/about/junio… - this is a very impressive and diverse group of accomplished early-career clinicians and scientists, who are geared up to moving the field of #endometriosis forward! Thank you for your commitment!
