Welcome to That’s So Chronic! I’m excited to be bringing you today’s interview with scientist and circus artist Evie Clayton. Evie was diagnosed with endometriosis, and today’s interview follows their journey to receiving that diagnosis (spoiler alert: it’s full of twists and turns!)

In this episode Evie talks us through the years of their symptoms being dismissed, an eventful few months with an ear nose and throat specialist, how they finally got a diagnosis (and the side effects that came with that surgery!), why they had to pull out of circus school, and Evie gives an insight in to being non binary and navigating the health system. 

You can find Evie on instagram: @hey.heyevie 

And you can also read Evie’s blog posts over on getwellcircus.com/journal/categories/evie (I highly recommend you have a read!!)
