After a long battle for answers, Kimberli was finally diagnosed with Endometriosis at 27 years old. Four years later, she’s forging ahead with the disease, spreading awareness, raising hopes and spirits, and supporting EndoWarriors everywhere!

Kimberli’S JOURNEY:  

I remember getting my period at age 11, one of the first out of my group of friends. Besides heavy bleeding, I didn’t think too much about anything being ‘wrong’. I was athletic, I played all sorts of sports, ate fairly healthy for a kid and was always playing outside or doing things with my friends. My immune system was pretty crappy though, I got sick a lot.

Michelle was diagnosed with Endometriosis when 20.  Now 35, and living in La Mesa, California, Michelle shares her Endo story with us.

Michelle’s Journey: My endo story I first got my period at 10 years old. I remember I was still in elementary school, playing in PE when I got my first one. From there, my periods became increasingly more and more painful.

By 15 years old I remember rolling around on the ground in the bathroom, sometimes in so much pain that it made me throw up. I would miss school sometimes but most of the time tried to tough it out. My periods were always at least 7 days long, super heavy and lots of huge clots. I thought that was normal…..I was taught to believe this was all normal.

Endo & Cannabis Products Workshop

| Bloomin' Uterus

Untitled-1 copy

Dr. Rosemarie Flores will be speaking with the gals of Bloomin’ Uterus on Sunday, December 3, 2017, about managing Endometriosis pain and symptoms with cannabis products.  Not only is Dr. Flores a chiropractor, but she is certified by the Medical Cannabis Institute.  She has been able to help many patients get off opiates, sleeping meds, and many other medicines.

Come join us!  Seating is limited, so please RSVP for yourself (and anyone you’re bringing) by emailing me at lisa@bloominuterus.com.

I know many of you have had questions about cannabis at some of our prior meetings, so now’s your chance to ask!  Can’t come?  Feel free to email Dr. Flores here with your questions.  She’ll do her best to respond.

Dr. Flores (aka “Dr. Rosebudz”) will be explaining the medicinal benefits of CBD  and other cannabinoid blends including THC and how it works in the body.  She will cover the difference between CBD only which comes from industrial Hemp and CBD that comes from a Cannabis plant.  And she will also be going over Dosing, which is very important since there is no set dosing for patients.

Cost Per Person: FREE (I will always strive for freebies for my EndoSisters!)

Date: Saturday, December 3, 2017

Time: The lecture will begin promptly at 12:45pm.  You may show up as early as 12:30 (but I may put you to work setting up tables and chairs).  It will be concluded by 1:45pm.

Location: Mission Valley Library (in their Community Room); 2123 Fenton Pkwy, San Diego, CA 92108

Again, please RSVP for yourself (and anyone you’re bringing) by emailing me at lisa@bloominuterus.com.

**A huge thank you to one of our local EndoSisters (you know who you are) for reaching out to Dr. Flores to present this workshop**
