Mackala did so many of the things women are told to do when something doesn’t feel right. She still spent years trying to be believed.
Luan’s joined by Mac to talk about living with endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain, from being told doctors had found “just a little bit” of endometriosis to repeatedly having to explain how much pain she was actually in.
And finally, how Mac met a healthcare professional who explained things clearly and truly listened to her.
A note before you listen: Some conversations on Regarding Me include experiences of illness, treatment, mental health, grief and other sensitive topics. Please take care when listening. 💙
