Story Forum is Endometriosis New Zealand’s (ENZ) newest support resource to connect you with others going through similar experiences. Being committed, connected and caring for the endometriosis community is one of ENZ’s core values and is ingrained in everything we do.
In Story Forum you will find personal stories from people with endometriosis and their friends and families. Here you can talk openly about endometriosis and pelvic pain and the impact it can have on your lives and those close to you.
Please be respectful of, and sensitive to, the stories on Story Forum. Every personal experience of endometriosis and pelvic pain is different. Stories shared here are to help each other and our community.
