Author of Endometriosis: One Woman's Journey and host of the Endometriosis Interactive Support and Information web site at www.jenniferlewis.com, Jennifer Marie Lewis has given a face, a name and, most important, a voice of experience and wisdom to the personal pain of endometriosis by sharing her own medical and emotional saga, which began when she was only 15.
For a decade, Lewis endured misdiagnoses and misconceptions about her endometriosis, which ultimately led to bouts of debilitating surgeries and poor health, lost wages, and lost intimacy and depression. Only when Lewis learned to become her own best health advocate did she learn the truth about her condition, find appropriate medical treatment, and begin to regain her dignity.
