“But I am kinda a rat.” - Eileen Holowka, St. Henri resident 😂

It’s the end of #endometriosisawarenessmonth and I do feel slightly more aware of my body, if only in getting used to having more and more people root through it in search of something out of place. It is bizarre to think of how much this illness has upended my life this year. And maybe more bizarre to think of what it has left untouched. The strangest thing of all was not being able to escape into my work the way I always had, and instead having (and continuing) to learn how to welcome my body and my pain into my life. Today I wrote an abstract about life writing and chronic pain, pulling together Leigh Gilmore with the science of pain, gender studies, and a dash of media theory. Thinking of all the dear people around me who are struggling with their own battles and just trying to make sense of this network of wounds and scars that we all navigate... 🎗 #chronicillness #chronicpain #endometriosis #lifewriting #myofascialpain #hysteric
