Meet Sara - Blog Creator & Writer - AKA @endosara

Picture
Introduction:
My name is Sara and I have endometriosis. After receiving my diagnosis in January of 2019, I really struggled to cope with accepting that I have an incurable disease. Writing has always been therapeutic and a passion of mine, so I decided that I wanted to share my endo health journey with other women, along with sharing other women's endo stories. We all have this common disease, yet it affects each one of us so differently, and I think that's why this disease can be so hard to diagnose at times. 

My goal is to build endo awareness for women - when my health first went haywire, I did not ever consider endometriosis due to my pain and symptoms. Endometriosis is not just a "really bad period". It's not just "having pain during sex". It's not just "having painful bowel movements". It's so much more than that. Understanding Endo is a place to learn, share and heal – no matter where you find yourself in your endometriosis health journey. 

With all that being said, welcome! I am so glad you're here and hope you find this blog helpful in some way. If you ever need to contact me, please use this contact form and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

I'm also known as @endosara on The Mighty:
There's also a chance you may recognize some of my blog articles if you're active on The Mighty as I'm a story contributor there and go by the username of @endosara.

I am thrilled to be part of this incredible community and am honored to have had the following stories published from them, then featured on Yahoo Lifestyle:
  • How Endometriosis Changed My Life for the Better
  • The Anxiety That Infiltrates Your Mind When You're Undiagnosed
  • How Chronic Illness Warriors Are 'Masters of Masks'

The good news is, you know how to climb."

 Our Mission: Spread Endometriosis Awareness

Our goal at Understanding Endo is simple: We want to help you learn more about endometriosis.

We want to help women of all ages understand this common disease because so many women have it. It usually takes years to receive the proper diagnosis due to its varying symptoms from woman to woman and there are currently no tests that can discover it accurately.

This blog is meant to be a comforting place for women of all ages with endometriosis, or those who suspect they may have endometriosis. It is a place meant for sharing, learning and healing with endometriosis. 

​For that reason, ​we will never showcase ads from pharmaceutical companies - ever.

Do you want to be heard?
