In this episode, Lisa sits down with registered nurse and endometriosis advocate Jenneh Rishe to explore her experience with diaphragmatic endometriosis — a form of the disease that presented with chest pain, shortness of breath, and right upper abdominal pain rather than the classic pelvic symptoms most practitioners associate with endo. Jenneh shares how years of hormonal suppression, including being prescribed the pill on top of an existing IUD, delayed her path to a confirmed diagnosis. This episode underscores the importance of specialist care, early diagnosis, and a multidisciplinary approach to endometriosis treatment.
