Yes, we can. We do need employers who understand diseases that effect women.

I do feel some women with endometriosis can work. Many factors determine if women suffering with endo can work. Each case is different from one women to another. If some can barely work it's usually at a Job that is low stressful environments (high paced deadline driven is difficult) standing sitting for long periods are hard and bending lifting as well. Most are working at a Job/career they had to switch and are unhappy but need to work

People with this disease can work and lead successful lives. Many people can find a way that works for them to relieve pain to be able to go about their daily lives. Some people may not, but there are ways to lessen the pain if a person is symptomatic.

Work yes, of course we can, the problem is when the pain is severe and can not work, because you generally don't believe and see you as lazy or crazy.

I work, but on the day of your period can't get out of bed. Work in the administrative area.

Depending on the degree of the symptoms, can yes, and it is up to the person to analyze what she can or can't do/play.

Can work yes. The problem is that most of the times, the pains are so intense that work becomes something impossible.

I believe that we can work yes, but we should have a special attention of our chefs and kindness on their part, because we have horrible days that we were not able to do anything, everything hurts, the emotional is shaken, but even so, I'm going to be a professional better or worse.

Yes, they may work. And in any kind of work, it all depends on the symptoms and level of illness.
