LONGEST RUNNING AUST/NZ Online Support group - Sept. 1999 for women men living in Australia and/or New Zealand,
The AIMS of AustEndo are:
1) To promote Endometriosis Awareness Understanding among the general population.
- This by definition will include -
Women with endo.
Women who support other women with endo - mothers, sisters, Aunts, Friends etc.
Men who have a partner with endo.
2) To offer ( hopefully receive) support from others with the daily struggle of dealing with ALL the side effects of endo - both physical emotional.
3) To foster friendships to hold support meetings in Capital Cities that members are encouraged to attend.

If these guidelines sound like a group that you would like to be a member for then apply for membership.
We fully recommend the video - Endometriosis - The Inside Story: Two women, one a nurse in Australia, the other a film maker in the US in Texas had identical experiences with endometriosis: Misdiagnosis, unbelievable pain dismissed as hypochondria, imagination, or "This is normal - put up with it". Please read more about the Video and how to order it here: http://www.endometriosis.org/video.html
