Women with endometriosis are amazing. We manage to work full-time nine to five jobs while dealing with the pain of this condition. We are strong and determined, and never give up. Endometriosis occurs when tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus grows outside of the uterus. This tissue can attach to the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder, intestines, and other areas in the pelvic cavity. The main symptom of endometriosis is pain. The pain caused can be so severe and debilitating, and may get worse over time.


This motivational collection of quotes will remind you of just how strong and powerful you are despite the trials and tribulations you’ve been faced each day.
