Hi there! My name is Evelyn Scott, and this is my Bluesky. I am an author and academic based in Surrey, UK, and I am extremely passionate about women's health. I have severe endometriosis, and am on a mission to make endometriosis care more acceptable and less traumatic for women all over the world.

We don't know what causes endometriosis, there's no cure and no one medication to treat it. On the next (MIS)Treated, @namshine.bsky.social speaks to @evelynscott.bsky.social about her 15-year struggle to be diagnosed, after her symptoms were repeatedly dismissed. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/m...

It was an absolute honour to sit on a panel at the Royal Society of Medicine on Friday. Thank you to the Menstrual Health Project for putting on such an incredible event. I was honoured to share space with so many incredible women and experts. We must keep talking, and raising awareness.

To Exist As I Am, by Grace Spence Green
‘It wasn’t a car crash, but there was a collision. He fell from the third floor. The life I had mapped out changed in that moment. The previous day, I had been treating patients. The next, I became one.’
Absolutely adored it. Raw, emotional and full of hope.

And despite being on LOTS of new medication today, I started working on book 2. This feels like a victory, even when my body is working hard to ruin everything.

I am gutted. I had a hysterectomy in February, but was re-admitted to hospital over the weekend in crippling pain. The #endometriosis is back, and it’s on my kidneys too. I knew that a hysterectomy wasn’t a cure for endometriosis, but to gain less than 6 months relief? This disease is so so cruel.

Instead of telling a disabled person what they should or shouldn’t be able to do… ask them how you could help them accomplish what they need.
Listen to their struggles. Approach the situation with compassion.
Offer genuine support.
That’s the best way to be an ally.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but disabled/ chronically ill people would much rather be working than being in debilitating pain at home everyday.
It’s not a choice.

Interesting isn't it, MPs who have well paid jobs can claim for free vehicles, travel, rent, energy, heating and much, much more.
But Disabled People who can't work and claim a fraction of that are scumbags ripping the system off.
Perhaps these MPs don't own mirrors?
