What happens when two chronic illnesses duke it out in the ring? We have no idea because that's impossible! But it is possible to have Endo and IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). We talk a bit about Paige's upcoming doctors visit and why it pertains to IBS, and the link between IBS and Endo that is so common.

It's always nice to take a step back and reflect with those who you love. In this awesome episode, we hang with Paige's mother, Elizabeth, and talk about her story around Endo, and the care and support she has been giving to Paige for years. Elizabeth was the first person to believe Paige that she has Endo, and has been a loving and supportive presence in Paige's life around health care and emotional support. Yeah, and then we talk about some nerd stuff. Big surprise right?
