bodybeyonddiagnosis

My name is Dr Tanaya Atre. I'm a physiotherapist. And for years, I was also a woman who didn't have the language for what was happening in her own body. I understood anatomy and physiology. I had studied the human body in detail. Yet I still spent years pushing through pain I minimised, symptoms I normalised, and appointments that left me feeling like the problem was me, not what was happening inside me. When I was finally diagnosed with endometriosis, I felt something unexpected: relief. Not because the diagnosis was easy, but because it had a name. It was real. I wasn't imagining it. What followed was a different challenge. The information online was overwhelming and often contradictory. The advice felt generic. And no one prepared me for the emotional weight of living with a chronic condition that affects your pain, energy, fertility, and sense of self. The miscarriage Then we experienced a miscarriage.
