EXACTLY.
1 in 4 women will have fibroids.
It is estimated that between 10 and 20% of women suffer from endo, and takes an average of 8 years to get a diagnosis.
1 in 4 people will struggle with their mental health in their lifetime.
1 in 6 people report experiencing anxiety or similar issues.
I’m not minimising the struggle of these - it is tit. I’ve been there, it’s tit. But Gabby MUST realise that these issues she has are incredibly common, and the vast majority of sufferers have no choice but to get on with their lives, their jobs, looking after their families, etc. She is so supremely privileged not to worry about that, and to be able to access private treatment.
Exactly, I only accidentally found out about the fact I have a fibroid 2 days ago due to a scan for something else the radiographer asked me if knew what that was and I immediately thought: "Oh tit. Like Gabby." LMAO
In all seriousness it explains a lot of my minor health issues actually but I had no idea that's what it was possibly due to (it's ok it's not the worst they've ever seen, like Gob has). I also don't complain or tell anyone but my close family about health related tit, and I still go to work every single day and run my small business on top of that. I also had to wait 4 months for the scan that found it (not complaining, I love the NHS, the staff are bleeping amazing). Not immediate like her. She has no clue what real life is.
