Want to Read $ 11.99"I was not a ghost. I was a little girl with needs and wants and allergies. Still, I hung soundlessly, as weightlessly as I could, in the air. The living can haunt a house, too."-Abby Norman, Ask Me About My Uterus: A Quest to Make Doctors Believe in Women's Pain
"In retrospect, that was the moment I realized my ignorance was going to exacerbate whatever the problem was, and that I had to prescribe myself some kind of medical education, at least as it pertained to my situation."-Abby Norman, Ask Me About My Uterus: A Quest to Make Doctors Believe in Women's Pain
"So often we think that the truth is a static entity that exists only in a singular place--a place that we have to find. But I have come to realize that the answers I have been looking for, the truth of my own body, was ever-changing."-Abby Norman, Ask Me About My Uterus: A Quest to Make Doctors Believe in Women's Pain
"Where a woman is in her menstrual cycle also influences how her body metabolizes, well, anything. Researchers know this: that's why, when they do include women in trials, they design the research so that women will be participating early in their cycles, when their hormones are most similar to a man's. Periods, then, have become something of an exclusionary pathology."-Abby Norman, Ask Me About My Uterus: A Quest to Make Doctors Believe in Women's Pain
