Beyond the Symptoms In this episode of A WonderCare podcast, host Sheena Mitchell, a pharmacist, delves into the lived experience of Doireann Barrett, who shares the profound and widespread impacts of endometriosis beyond reproductive health. Doireann discusses the challenges of finding specialised care in Ireland, the significant financial burdens imposed by chronic illness, and the systemic failings in healthcare and other public services. Despite facing numerous adversities, Doireann continues to advocate for better support and understanding for endometriosis patients. Sheena and Doireann emphasize the need for a 'health in all policies' approach, highlighting how interconnected factors such as housing and financial stability influence overall well-being. The episode ends with a call for listeners to hold elected officials accountable for implementing comprehensive health policies. 00:00 Introduction and Host Introduction 00:22 Impact of Chronic Disease on Life 00:53 Challenges in Endometriosis Treatment 02:42 Financial and Social Struggles 08:04 Housing and Healthcare System Failures 18:13 Advocacy and Support Resources 25:03 Conclusion and Call to Action Season 12 Partnership – Salin Plus (available here!)
