About Us
Seattle/Eastside Chapter  of the Endometriosis Association

 


 

 

 

We are a Chapter of the Endometriosis Association which started over 20 years ago by Mary Lou Ballweg.  The Seattle/Eastside Chapter has been in existence since 2001.  We have shared information about endometriosis to women and teenagers at events such as the Northwest Women's Show and the Girl Scouts of Washington.  Guest speakers have presented information on diverse topics including fertility treatment, environmental issues, and pain management alternatives such as acupuncture.  Members meet once every one to two months to offer each other support and encouragement.  Symptom management is a primary topic during meetings.  Other meeting topics have included discussions ranging from menopause to dietary influences and surgical options.   Meetings are informal and seriously fun.  Women of all ages who have endometriosis or know someone who has endometriosis and their friends and family are welcome to attend our support group meetings! 

 

Meeting Locations:

 

Meeting locations are within the greater Seattle area.  For member convenience, meeting nights are generally during the 3rd week of the month and staggered throughout the week.   Locations vary, but are often held in the most central location.  The Seattle/Eastside Chapter meets at the Mercer Island Library www.kcls.org
