Ep. 2: Kate Brayden on endometriosis, fibromyalgia and healthcare abroad

This episode of Bits of Me comes with a trigger warning for sexual coercion and abuse, as Kate Brayden shares her journey of living with pelvic pain, struggling to find health care practitioners who would take her seriously, and saving up huge amounts of money for trips to London, Washington and Zürich to see specialists in the hope that they might be able to help her. In addition to the reality of living with polycystic ovary syndrome, fibromyalgia, endometriosis and congenital neuroproliferative vestibulodynia, Kate shares her experiences of painful sex and an abusive, traumatising relationship. The book Kate mentions in this episode is Andrew Goldstein's When Sex Hurts: A Woman's Guide to Banishing Sexual Pain. You can follow Kate on @katebrayden on Instagram, and there are plenty of articles on women's health written by her for publications such as Hotpress, Shemazing and GCN available online.
