On today’s episode, writer Abby Norman talks about her experience with Endometriosis, how difficult it can be to get it diagnosed, having others value her fertility and the satisfaction of her male sexual partners above her own health and quality of life, and the book deal she just signed to write about it. Episode 16 picks up Abby’s story a few years into her experience with Endometriosis, but today's bonus episode is her story of when it all started.
