@fpl_juice It really is. Plenty sharing similar stories in the replies. I’m just so frustrated this clear medical blind spot isn’t being addressed.

@FPLMate Hey mate, glad you guys are on the right path now. Sadly, I know this story is far too common. ❤️

I have spent all of today in the hospital with my wife, Morgan. Today she had surgery that confirmed and removed severe endometriosis, a condition where uterus tissue grows outside the uterus, causing severe pelvic pain and infertility. Despite suspecting she has had this condition for almost as long as I’ve known her, and after years of medical gaslighting, she finally found a doctor who would book her in for laparoscopic surgery needed at the end of last year, and completed today. It turns out this is one of the most misdiagnosed conditions women can have (despite it being fairly common) and unless you fight for that surgery, you will likely never be taken seriously. If you or anyone you know feels they relate to endometriosis symptoms, I really encourage you to push for an official diagnosis - particularly as this condition can worsen over time. Morgan spent years in pain, and we lost £10,000’s in IVF costs for “unexplained infertility” when the answer was explainable all along. But mostly I just wanted to post this because I’m so bloody proud of her fight, and being so brave spending the entire afternoon in the operating theatre today. Well done Morgan, maximum bonus points for you! 👏🏼

@TheRealDsen31 @FPL_Pickle Tbf these things are not exactly spoken about openly in the UK either, but I think that’s a shame, and I’m far too old to care what others may think 😂

@FPLMate @FPL_Pickle Mate. I love you open you are. Here in the US, it’s super taboo to talk about these types of things freely. Morgan sounds incredibly strong and you’re both lucky to have each other.

@FPL_Pickle Thank you pickle. Learning more and more about medical misogyny recently, I really hope it can be addressed in the coming years!

@FPLMate Thinking of you both💚 Thank you so much for sharing and for raising awareness around endometriosis. Women’s health is simply not taken seriously enough! Wishing Morgan a swift recovery❤️‍🩹

@Shell_FPL Yeah, I’m learning more and more about this lately. Hopefully the fact that it is being recognised more can lead to gradual systemic change.

@FPLMate Medical misogyny. I’m so sorry Dan. I spent 8 days in hospital with my 16 yod a few weeks ago because appendicitis symptoms are based on male presentation first. Women have a uterus for the appendix to hide behind and so can present differently.

@J49074951J My wife is an NHS registered nurse and used the phrase herself, because she’s good at her job and can recognise a systemic problem. If this offends you so much, perhaps it is a sign for introspection rather than arrogance. Good riddance btw 👍🏼

@FPLMate As an NHS doctor your use of the term gaslightlight is very inflammatory and naive, as a reault I will no longer be watching your content

@FPLNightmare Horrible mate, but really glad to hear she’s finally getting the treatment she deserves

@FPLMate No, she is thankfully due for surgery in June. She first discovered it when she had her twins 12 years ago, took until the end of last year to get referred for surgery, and even that was only because the coil gave her alopecia. It's such a horrible condition for so many reasons.

@FPLCim @MrsFPLMate Thank you bro

@FPLMate @MrsFPLMate Wishing Morgan a smooth recovery!

@fplfanatic20 Thanks for sharing, that’s so reassuring for us both. And huge congratulations!

@FPLMate My Mrs has the exact same thing. Took ages to get the same surgery done. She never thought she could get pregnant after. 2 years ago we got a very unexpected surprise when she did fall pregnant and we have a beautiful daughter

@cheddachallenge We were advised to do IVF and freeze our embryos just in case there was any permanent damage (which we did last month), but thankfully it looks like no permanent damage was done during the surgery!

@FPLMate Give my love to her mate! Does this mean your road to parenthood is off permanently or?

@FPLNightmare Completely agreed mate. I’m convinced that had we not been 2+ years infertile at the time, she would still be waiting. Is your wife still trying for a diagnosis?

@FPLMate If it was a condition which affected men, they'd try a lot harder to find solutions. My wife suffers from it and it is horrible to see how much pain she endures and how she has been dismissed for over a decade. You are right to be proud of your wife, and I wish you both the best.

@FPLKarim_ Thank you. Couple months of recovery and she should have a significantly improved quality of life!

@FPLMate Hope she gets better soon mate

@FPL_Giant Wasn’t when I activated it 3 weeks ago

@FPLMate WC was the template lol

Probably should have just stuck to the template like a good boy…

@Saviour_ise I think so

@FPLMate So you prefer 2 Leeds defense to 1 Leeds 1 Brighton defense

Oh, it looks gorgeous… 😍

@Wesley43779641 Lovely stuff! We just need to hope for a Scott auto sub now

@FPLMate Hey Mate. Not gonna lie got the welbeck inspiration from you but also went for Bowen. Bowen worked out well. My daughter went Bowen after i tried to convince her not to. I told her how bad my Ekitike went in 31. But she sticked.

GW32 Wildcard locked in 🔒 Ended up going slightly off template with Welbeck and Scott. Happy to take a small risk, and confident in my picks. Now let’s see if they can produce! 👀 Show me your Wildcard teams, I wanna see how different I am👇🏼

@FPL_Dean 😂😂😂

Did not realise you benched, my bad 🥲

@FPLMate Alex Scott fair play 🤣

So you’re telling me that not only do I see my team lose, but I also have to stare at Alex Scott points on my bench for a week…

Gabriel has so many routes to points. This isn’t even his first penalty assist this season! 🙌🏼

@FPLgutfeeling If he keeps getting goals and assists that’s fine by me

@FPLMate Apart from Gabriel 😉
