For decades I was misdiagnosed ànd mistreated by doctors who refused to take my pain seriously. In 2006 I finally talked a new Ob/gyn into a partial hysterectomy. What they found? Uterine adenomyosis. My GPs comment, oh, yeah. Supposed to be excruciatingly painful. Yes. Yes, it is. #unwellwomen

#UnwellWomen by #ElinorCleghorn is my night time read! A great #book which delves into the key topics of how medical research has historically prioritised the male body. With women’s health being profoundly under researched.
