TV personality, Ciru Muriuki has been battling endometriosis just like her friend, Njambi Koikai. During the three days endometriosis awareness, she shared of how endometriosis leaves one struggling even when not in pain.

Through her Instagram page, she wrote; “The thing about endometriosis is that it stays with you every day. Even if you’re not in pain, there’s the fatigue. I wish i could describe how tired i get. Then you dread your period. The horrible pain. The nausea. The sweating. The vomiting. The constipation or diarrhoea. Being scared of soiling yourself because of your heavy flow. None of this is normal. We need a cure.”

She wrote; “This was me, after my first laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis cysts. It was two days before Christmas in 2017. Basically,what was happening was i was bleeding into my ovaries every time i had my period. Words cannot describe the pain.

This was me, after my first laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis cysts. It was two days before Christmas in 2017. Basically,what was happening was i was bleeding into my ovaries every time i had my period. Words cannot describe the pain. It sometimes takes years for endometriosis to be definitively diagnosed because women are told that pain is part of being a woman. But here’s the thing. Terrible pain during your period is not normal. A prolonged, heavy period is not normal. A period that interferes with your daily routine is not normal. Endometriosis has no cure. We need to push for more research into this terrible disease. #periodmatters #endowarrior #endometriosisawareness #yellowforendo #donotsufferinsilence #KnowEndo
