Endometriosis can be considered a disability, a federal judge wrote in a decision that advocates say could help thousands of women who suffer from the condition
I’m sick and tired of my pain and suffering being minimized because I’m a woman and “hysterical “. I’ve been dismissed time and time again for my period pains when there are times i couldn’t move. If men had periods things would be a lot different, tbh.
The amount of times I used to live in fear of getting fired because I couldn’t get out of bed due to endo. Thank god the next gen’s won’t have to suffer the same fate
I went through severe endo pain while my elderly dog was dying and I had a high priority project due at work. It was the worst thing I went through in many years and I so wish I had taken time off instead. I regret not giving my dog the attention she needed and deserved.
We are so behind. Endometriosis can cripple you for days, disrupt your life, and make working much harder, especially in positions where there’s physical labor involved. The only reason women are suffering through shifts and over exerting themselves with something that can send them to the hospital is because they can get fired. You can’t even get a decent pain killer for this
In a safe and fair system being able to have recognition of a disability should be a benefit. But I worry that in our current system, any official medical delineation will be weaponized or used to target people for persecution. Scary times for Americans.
You don’t have to have endometriosis to suffer debilitating pain from periods. I had a condition where the lining of my uterus grew up into the muscle of the uterus. I eventually had to have a hysterectomy, the happiest day of my life.

I can agree 100%. But its a little late for me. Thank God for menopause!

Would this decision apply to all women with Endometriosis, or just who was in that ruling?
My journey with endometriosis started when I was 15 in the 90s. My teenager is now dealing with it too 🙁

As long as they don’t need birth control or an abortion in this fascists anti woman county… yeah this will help.
Good. Endo has caused me to miss so much work, and also work through pain that no one should have to work through.
No fucking shit it can be
I’m torn between saying yes thank you thank you and eeeeeek idk if I want it to be a disability in the eyes of today’s government…..
