Figured I’d put together a list of facilities and companies that are presently conducting research studies about Endometriosis. I’ll update this often (some of these studies may overlap)…If interested in participating or want more information, click on the name of the study below:

Lindsay was 16 years old when she was diagnosed with Endometriosis. Now 21, she lives in Connecticut. She is a volunteer Firefighter (thank you!!!) while still enduring several chronic illnesses: Endometriosis, Fibromyalgia, Bursitis, and Anxiety. She doesn’t let it stop her from living!

Like so many women, just knowing there was a cause to her pain gave her a little bit of peace of mind and she has begun her journey toward relief. Josi hasn’t let this pain stop her from living, as she recently married the love of her life and is moving forward with hers!
Josi’s Journey: I started vomiting constantly and experiencing bad pain at 11 years old. I thought it was anxiety, and didn’t get it checked out for a couple years. At 14, I finally had a scope done to reveal a hiatal hernia. I thought, “finally, this is the cause!” And began taking prescribed medicines for acid reflux and IBS. Nothing helped. Another scope. Nothing new.
