Taking No Shit From Her Endo Specialist: Daphne's Diagnosis Story

About this episode

Daphne shares her journey through severe period pain and the challenges of finding appropriate treatment after a long history with birth control.

You've heard MY diagnosis and treatment story - now I'm handing the mic over to other people who have been through the period pain fire and come out the other side. Daphne had been on birth control since she was 10 for severe period pain, and every time she tried to come off it, the excruciating pain would come back, putting her right back in the puke-til-you-go-to-the-ER club. After finally getting a diagnosis from a specialist, she opted to find a different specialist to continue treatment with, because of the unacceptable way that doctor spoke to her about her body.
