A young woman from Norwich claims her debilitating endometriosis symptoms were dismissed for a decade, with doctors repeatedly attributing her pain to her weight or "just a bad period." Tehyana Johnson, 22, expressed a profound wish that "someone would have just listened" to her pleas for help.
Ms Johnson’s ordeal began with painful periods, heavy bleeding, blood in her urine, full body pain, and vomiting, symptoms she says were consistently ignored by medical professionals. From 2014 onwards, she recounts being "fobbed off" and believes she has undergone more than 250 consultations in the past three years alone, all while her condition worsened.
