Carolin HelfmannEin Festival, auf dem auf großer Stage auch offen über die noch viel zu wenig erforschte Erkrankung Endometriose gesprochen wird, ist mein Festival. #rp25 #endendosilence #endowarrior 💛🎗️
Danke, Theresia Crone!
Fussy Geek WaresI designed this digital period tracker for Adenomyosis Awareness Month. You can have it free if you subscribe to my email list:

The link also includes a slower version of this video, for tips on how to use the tracker. I used Notability on my iPad with Apple Pencil 2.
You can also print the tracker and colour it in with pens.

I created this #angryuterus t-shirt using one of my pin designs, so I could help spread the word of #Endometriosis & #Adenomyosis
April is Adenomyosis Awareness Month, the lesser known sister illness to Endo.
Having an angry uterus is more than just difficult periods. It can be a debilitating illness and is definitely an invisible one.

PavSo it’s endometriosis awareness month and I had forgotten how distressing that can be.
The media is full of other people’s stories of their experiences, often presented as “they suffered for years and then they got surgery” with the implication that everything was better after that. Which makes me go into the stupid chronic illness spiral of feeling like I haven’t done enough to “beat it” even though I know rationally (and have the agreement of all the expert professionals in my health management team) that it’s not true.
Friends and family also want to try to really understand my experience, which is great. But it means temporarily stepping out of my safe little bubble of living day by day to look at and talk about my future as a whole. Acknowledging that the physical pain and the associated physical and mental side effects are something I will most likely be dealing with every day for decades to come is devastating.
So yeah, endometriosis is a thing experienced by 1 in 9 people with a female reproductive system and it sucks.

I think the thing I hate second most about having chronic pain (the first is obviously the pain) is that it stops me communicating. My thoughts often feel so scrambled, and the effort to turn them into something coherent feels so big that it’s exhausting to even think about, much less do. So much of what I would once have said or written now just stays as messy, tangled thoughts in my head. #Endometriosis #EndoWarrior #Spoonie #ChronicPain #ChronicIllness
endowarrior.art#EndometriosisActionMonth Today’s WTF: 80% of pain studies are conducted on male mice or human men but cca 70% of those who suffer from chronic pain are women #endometriosis #endowarrior #chronicillness #chronicpain #endowarrior #WomensHealth #EndometriosisAwarenessMonth

Second #illustration to all of us walking like all is good. Endo is very painful but worst - misunderstood by many (MDs, politicians, employers, friends and family) #endometriosis

Friday meme: This year, this is how I see my endometriosis #endometriosis #ChronicPain #chronicillness #endowarrior #endowarrior #mentalhealth #endometriosisawareness #womenshealt #Memes
Having some kind of routine with chronic illness is incredibly hard. You try to set up a schedule but your disease doesn’t care about it. Trying to guess how much energy you will have it’s like a new kind of fortune telling SO welcome to class of divination #endometriosis #endowarrior #chronicillness #chronicpain #schedule #digitalart #illustration
