She answers questions related to her journey with endometriosis raised by Namita Nayyar, President, Women Fitness

Endometriosis is a condition in which the tissue that lines the inside of your uterus grows outside the uterus but continues to act as it normally would. When did you first learn (age) that you were challenged with this health issue?

I first noticed when I was in college, but at that time the cyst would disappear on its own. That was about 8 years ago.

Early and late symptoms that bothered you and affected your work routine?

In the early stages of endometriosis, I noticed the unbearably painful menstruation cycles. It was so agonizing that I had to stay in bed for 2 days and could hardly sit up not to mention walking. I spent those days in a horizontal position in bed. I was pretty much immobilized. Since I didn’t at first know the source of pain I ended up in the emergency room few times at the Cedar’s Sinai hospital in LA and that confirmed utterly that it was indeed endometriosis.
