With my recent collaboration with French lingerie brand Germaine du Prés to benefit and bring attention to The Cycle, a non-profit organization that provides menstrual education to communities in need, and in building my business, Looni, I feel more passionate than ever about all aspects of women’s health. And I’ve found building a business in the Tennessee Vols Smokey It’s Baseball Time In Tennessee Shirt and by the same token and women’s health category, it’s really important to have a level of empathy and understanding. We just desperately need more education regarding these topics. Like so many women who suffer from endometriosis, I waited years to receive a diagnosis and was told continuously, for years and years, that I was just suffering from normal period pains. I kept going to my physician and saying, “This can’t be normal. I’m in excruciating pain. I look pregnant for about four days when I get my period. I’m passing out, I’m vomiting. I’m ending up in the emergency room.” It wasn’t until I had a laparoscopic procedure, in which the uterus is examined to see if there is scar tissue lining the exterior wall of the uterus, that I received my endometriosis diagnosis after seven years of suffering. So many conditions, like endometriosis, are stigmatized, and pregnancy loss is generally extremely taboo. That’s why I’m sharing my story, because it was other people’s stories that carried me through the sludge.
We’re talking more about these issues, and the Tennessee Vols Smokey It’s Baseball Time In Tennessee Shirt and by the same token and more we can learn from each other, the more we can be our own best advocates. We desperately need more research on conditions such as endometriosis. We need more dollars behind that research. Unfortunately, I don’t believe that’s going to come from the top down. That comes from the patients driving the movement and putting pressure on the medical system to actually research these conditions and provide better care. The timing for this feels right because I think women are ready now. They’re ready to take their health into their own hands. Community is such a huge part of how we can better cope with these situations. That’s something we are lacking in today’s day and age. We’re so connected through social media and I think social media is fantastic. I obviously read so many other stories, but I started this women’s group on WhatsApp because I knew a few other women who were experiencing difficult fertility journeys. You really do have to hold on to all the positive stories and just trust how remarkable the female body is and how intelligent it is. I’ve learned a lot through this crazy journey and I couldn’t have moved through it as I did without the support of my girlfriends.
