The Doctor Will See You Now: Recognizing and Treating Endometriosis by Tamer Seckin
5.0
Don't you just love books that make you feel less alone? I was diagnosed with advanced Endometriosis last June, and since then I've tried to learn as much as I can about managing and healing the disease and fighting for my fertility. There are limited resources out there but this book feels like a gift. It's like an Endo 101 course for anyone actively suffering from the disease, wondering if she might have it, family and friends of those who have a loved one with Endo and even doctors who want to have a better understanding of treatment.
A lot of people don't talk about the disease because of its personal nature and the stigma that comes along with discussing women's periods, but if I've learned anything it's that we are only as sick as our secrets and the more that is brought into the light, the better chance we have for hope and healing.
If you have Endo and want to feel understood, read this book. If you experience "killer cramps" during your period and know that something just isn't right about that, read this book. If you have a loved one with Endo and want to better understand her experience, read this book.
