Who am I?
My name is Kyla Canzater, and I have Stage IV Endometriosis. I was diagnosed with Endometriosis in 2013 at the age of 28. I have lived with the pain from Endometriosis since my cycle first came on in middle school. I had no idea what was causing my pain and spent years trying to figure out what was causing me debilitating pain. After multiple doctors, I finally received a little relief with the discovery of Endometriosis but I still had a void filled with questions that doctors couldn’t seem to answer. I felt like an island, and I was on a search for a community to help me find relief beyond the pain that seemed to consume my life. Once I found my circle of Endo Sister, I finally felt like I had exactly what I needed to fight for the life I wanted. My small circle of sisters slowly started to grow, which pushed me to start the Endo List where women with Endometriosis can always find resources and someone to connect no matter when they need it.
My Endo Sis-piration
I have 3 Endo Sister that I stick to like glue! Meet Sherika, April, and Lauren (not pictured). They are my inspiration for starting the Endo List. My need to see them, to connect, to ask them questions, check on them, to find a moment to be honest and find a solution for the different moments I found myself in thanks to Endometriosis are all the scenarios that helped me see the importance of needing the connection with other women in different places along their journey with Endometriosis.
What is Endometriosis?
