Quote by Amy Stein

“Endo doesn't just affect the pelvic region. The body's response to the inflammation it causes sensitizes the central nervous system, and if you don't know what's going on - as I didn't - this sensitization ***** with your head.

This is where endo crosses the line from a physical ailment to an emotional one too. -- from the forward, written by Bojana Novakovic”
