March is Endometriosis Awareness Month. Endometriosis is a common condition that is often extremely painful, hard to diagnose, and can affect a woman’s fertility. In honor of this month, we’re rolling out a four-part series to bring awareness to this disease.
Being diagnosed with endometriosis is just the first step and now you’re left with more questions than answers. So, what do you do? You start searching on the internet and you’re flooded with information.
How could you possibly sort through it all? Well, there’s a special Facebook group called Nancy’s Nook that offers education around endometriosis to its 82,000 members. The group has grown to be such an important resource that even doctors refer patients to it.
In the final episode in our four-part series on endometriosis, we hear from Donna Laux, one of the key administrators for Nancy’s Nook, who shares how the group was created and how it’s helped thousands of women.
Guest: Donna Laux, Administrator for Nancy’s Nook
Host: Taylor Burbach, Patient Care Supervisor at Progyny
