Created by Elizabeth Christina.
Just an Australian Spoonie sharing my
journey with endometriosis, suspected
dysautonomia, PCOS, chronic pelvic pain
and a few other chronic conditions.
A little bit about me :)
Hey love, nice to meet you!My name is Elizabeth, I’m a 25 year old female living in rural NSW, Australia. My hobbies include content creation, video editing, photography, quality time with loved ones, raising awareness for Endometriosis & connecting
with fellow warriors like myself.Over the past couple of years my health has suffered a decline.. I have received multiple new diagnoses and undergone multiple medical procedures and surgeries.. prompting me to create a safe space for me to share this journey, raise awareness & hopefully help others.
My story with Endometriosis
My journey with endometriosis started from a young age like many others, but went ignored due to how normalised extreme, debilitating period pain is. I want to change that narrative.I was 14 the first time I visited the doctor for period pain.. it wasn’t until 9 years later that I was finally diagnosed with stage one endometriosis after a laparoscopic excision where endometriosis was found in my pouch
of douglas on the 7th of August 2023. Not long after
that I was also diagnosed with chronic pelvic pain.
My story with PCOS
After giving birth to a healthy baby boy in the
Winter of July 2020 I started experiencing more of
the symptoms of PCOS once again, however this time
I approached my doctor about it, arming myself with as much knowledge about the condition as I could find.After a combination of an examination of my
medical history, a pelvic ultrasound & blood work I
was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.
My story with Dysautonomia
After catching Covid-19 in August of 2022, I was briefly hospitalised with both Covid & Gastritis which left me vomiting blood. The blood was later determined to be from a Hernia that I had tore from vomiting. Little did I know that this would just be the beginning of an all new health battle for me.
It wasn’t until November of 2022 that I started noticing symptoms like shortness of breath, dizziness, tremors, heart palpitations, chest pain, excessive sweating, a worsening in my brain fog, heat intolerance and tachycardia.
After almost a 2 year wait I was FINALLY able to see a Cardiologist for further testing, who has since ruled out POTS & currently suspects I may have a mild form of Dysautonomia or possible heart arrhythmia. I am currently awaiting further testing for any kind of diagnosis and still struggle greatly with managing my symptoms.
