Endometriosis with Gemma and Aimee

Endometriosis with Gemma Beswick and Aimee Gill

Gemma is a Volunteer Leader for the charity Endometriosis UK. Because of her lived experience of endometriosis she is passionate about supporting people who are waiting for a diagnosis and joins us to answer our questions.

Aimee is a Sunflower wearer, who is now 18 years old but first started experiencing symptoms when she was 11, at 14 she received her diagnosis. Aimee has had numerous surgical and drug treatments. 

In the conversation they explain the physical effects of endometriosis and the emotional trauma they experienced at not being believed, having to fight for the correct diagnosis and friends falling away.
