Medication just masks Symptoms with Alex - a podcast by Cure Chronic

Alex has been living with endometriosis and thoracic disease since she was 14. Although her mother dealt with the same disease, it still took the doctors 5 1/2 years to diagnose Alex. Unfortunately she dealt with gaslighting, not being believed or being told lies about the disease causing her to suffer for 5 1/2 years with symptoms, without a diagnosis and without any type of treatment. On average, globally, it takes 7 to 10 years to get a diagnosis for endometriosis and approximately 1 in every 10 women have endo. However, because of the time it takes to get a diagnosis  Alex believes that that statistic about endometriosis is much higher. Especially due to the fact that 40 to 50% of infertile women actually have endometriosis.

 Alex started the endometriosis foundation of Canada in order to start advocating for women in Canada but also all over the world to help reduce this lengthy diagnosis time and help women all over the world with this medical condition!
