In 2022, I was studying Graphic Design, when diagnosed with endometriosis. I had experienced a number of different food related obstacles before being diagnosed. Once believing I may have been intolerant to lactose or fructose. I was unsure of the outcome but wasn't surprised when it was endometriosis, when results came back halfway through studying a Certificate IV in Graphic Design, when walking out of an exam raised concerning questions. 
It was later revealed the pain unknown at the time was actually endometriosis pain. I battled through my finals before being allowed to have surgery due to the lockdown in the city, which put a delay on most operations at the time. When woke up again, I was diagnosed with endometriosis after going through the procedure.
