Instagram Story Save

When you suffer from endometriosis you become a reluctant advocate for it, because the burden to educate the public, doctors, insurance companies and the general medical community has fallen on Endo Sufferers. Today is Endometriosis Awareness Day and I happen to be in recovery from endometriosis excision surgery on the day. I only post this because I probably have at least 5-10 followers or friends of followers who have endo and don’t know it or don’t know about this surgery because my endometriosis story is everyone’s endometriosis story— we have been chronically, criminally gaslit and dismissed by the medical community because we as a society are so dismissive of women’s pain (yes, even and sometimes especially by women doctors)
I learned about this surgery from instagram support groups run by endometriosis sufferers turned advocates and the few expert surgeons who specialize and understand the disease. So if you see “endo warrior” in a bio, its cause we actually went through two battles, one with our bodies and one with the american medical system. Doctors have dismissed me and gaslit me for 14 years-thats the ER doctors and probably 8 different gynecologists I have gone to for my terrible symptoms since I was 14 either told me I “should feel better by now” or to take advil or antidepressantsor that it was psychosomatic or it’s “probably endo but theres no cure”
So here are some facts if you or someone you know is suffering from incredibly painful periods or incredibly painful sex or bowel movements or just random really intense pain or general fatigue, hormone imbalance, migraines, indigestion, nausea, hip, back and knee pain and an inability to lead the kind of life you want and should be leading.
Endometriosis is cellular disease that effects an estimated 10-30% (!!!!) of people with uteruses. Endometriosis is painful growths or lesions that grow on reproductive organs- but it can be literally anywhere, your heart, your brain, your ankle. It’s similar to a cancer but it doesn’t kill you, just your will to live.
That isn’t to say endo isn’t dangerous. When endo goes unremoved— it grows. (Continued in comments ?)

I made a solo evening about support with Carrie. I want to share a way of life in Japan- we take care of things because souls live in them. I am hoping that me dancing with chairs will change how you see support.

step by step, chair by chair.

Very special collaboration with Shin Okuda at Wakawaka- specially designed chairs for the performance. Performed at his studio, where the chairs were born. @wakawakainc

ticket link and more details in my bio. Really hope you can make it!

Choreographed and performed by me
Directed and Narrated by Carolyn Braver @cbraves
Produced by Kid Sister Productions @kidsisterproductions
With Support from LA Dance Project @ladanceproject
