Mama Do You Need More Vitamins? A Story about Endometriosis is a book that examines Endometriosis through the eyes of a child. Endometriosis is a disease that impacts 1 in 10 people assigned female at birth. Its symptoms include debilitating pelvic pain, painful periods, pain with intimacy, fatigue, urinary and bowel problems, and so much more. As the author, Lorraine Truman, knows all too well, Endometriosis does not stop after pregnancy or during motherhood. No matter how debilitating your symptoms are, your kids still want you to build things, make breakfast fun, and snuggle, no matter how bad your flare-up is. At the same time, kids show resilience, compassion, and understanding that is so often lacking in the grown-up world. Join Lorraine and her family as she navigates motherhood and teaches her son about Endometriosis. Join them as Lorraine's son teaches us a bit more about compassion and empathy.
