100's of 1000's of women are suffering daily with this evil disease and are still treated by people who know nothing about the disease. 1 in 3 women with Endometrosis will consider suicide as they are in so much pain, not receiving the correct treatment, are left to suffer being told the pain is pychological and they feel they have no where left to turn. Although there is an Endometriosis Charity the charity does not raise money to help individual cases who need emergency surgery but cannot afford it and neither does it raise money to fund the research to find a cure for this evil disease which is devastating so many lives. IMy goal is to start up the petition and to get over 100,000, maybe even 500,000 signatures to enable this to be passed to parliament. Also I would like for this to be listed as a disability as you would not believe the amount of jobs I have lost due to my illness or they won't even employ me, I end up having to not tell them.
I may not get anywhere but I have to try.
The reason this is so important to me is I have been there. At the age of 11 I started my periods and used to have so much pain I would pass out on the toilet but it wasn't until I was 15 it got so bad I would end up in hospital with it. Doctors just said I had IBS but I knew it wasn't as why was it just when I had my period then? I spent periods in and out of A&E's always to be told the same thing but it wasn't until I was 25 I was rushed in with ovarian cyst as big as melon they finally diagnosed the Endometrosis. I had so so many laparoscopies to excision the endo, in 2003 I lost my one ovary and then 2004 had a son (my miracle as they said I couldn't have children) and after nearly 20 surgeries all together I finally had a hysterectomy to try to rid me of the disease as I could no longer take no more. The hysterectomy did not work so I had to fight for 2 years and pay private to get someone to treat me and my insides were a mess and the endo was back with vengeance and if I hadn't of had surgery I could have died. I have endo back again but they will no longer operate as the relieve is only short lived. It lasts about 10 months and returns again and then I would also get adhesions so we are looking at holistic at the moment. It's up at down for me. But I'm not doing this for me. I'm doing this for all those girls that are at that stage that I was where they couldn't even get out of bed, play with their kids, some of them even have kids, those of them where the pain is that bad they get up pass out and hit their head on the door or fall off the toilet and feel at their wits end as they just want it all to stop (that was me 2 years ago) I had to go and live with my mum and Dad for 4 months as I was bed ridden and kept passing out from pain plus it was distressing my son too much. 

Please will you consider signing this petition in aid and support of getting this petition and 100,000 or more signatures to prime minister and Parliment to be looked at. It is regarding the debilitating and devastating disease called Endometriosis. When I say I have the most the time I will be answered with what is that and yet 100,s of thousands of women are suffering with this awful disease with no cure. I want it put to Parliment that it be signed as a disability and that we have a new Charity set up funded by the lottery to fund research into the cure of Endometrosis. Let's beat Endometriosis not only for our women of today but for our daughters and grand daughters of tomorrow.
