This video states several inaccuracies with endometriosis. It is not uterine tissue that grows outside the uterus, it is tissue thats similar but not identical to the inner lining of the uterus. This is an important distinction because by people thinking its endometrium, they think its a uterine disease and that a hysterectomy will cure it. Neither are true. Endometriosis lesions can create their own fuel (estrogen, which is why people can continue to suffer with it even after menopause or even if taking hormonal birth control methods. There is no cure for endo, it is a whole body inflammatory disease. The best treatment option we currently have is to surgically excise the endometriosis, not burn it off but actually take it out. But endo can and often does return (less likely with expert excision though. Hormonal birth control methods dont treat endo nor do they slow the progression of the disease, it is only symptom management. WatchMojo, please do your homework next time. This disease is so common, we cannot afford to continue miseducating people.

I agree selena is so inspiring with lupus and she has only known about having it for a few years, but Nick Jonas has been vocal about this since he was just 13 years old and has done so much for type 1 diabetes, selena shouldnt be there just cause shes more famous. I love selena and I think she deserves a spot on this list Im just using her as an example for why Nick Jonas should be more than an honorable mention

We are only human and all the illnesses that we all face is not our fault. I think that awareness is a good start. Because its sad to just look at someone and judge them because you have no idea. How they are feeling inside. I know its not anyone's fault. No cure just makes me feel sad. Because my skin hurts my eyes have so much dark circles arround them i look terrible thank god for make-up

I have fibromyalgia, it's nothing to sneeze at. People tend to dismiss this illness as made up sometimes, which makes me so angry. Some days I can hardly move, let alone function. My pain level is off the chart. I do what I can and try to keep going, despite my memory problems getting worse. I don't want pity, just empathy and understanding.

I along with many others suffer from fibromyalgia, chronic insomnia, pre diabetis, and other things. I have asked myself many times if any tests or inquiries have been conducted to see if there are similarities in our backgrounds that might help determine if there is something that might contribute to our illnesses.

So theyre just not gonna mention Mick Mars? He has a degenerative bone disease called ankylosing spondylitis. His spine, hips, and shoulders are literally fused together. He cant even turn his head to the side, and he still goes on tour and is an amazing guitar player, and he is in constant pain.

Oh c'mon, Avril Lavigne has Lyme Disease and is waaaay more inspiring as well as talented than Bella Hadid. Also, why did you include Lena Dunham (a woman that has confessed and is proud of molesting her sister) when you could have included Halsey or Daisey Ridley?

Stop romatisicizing chronic / mental illnesses. Celebs coming out and saying they have mental issues does absolutely nothing for the general public because it further illustrates how normal people suffer in silence due to stigma while celebs are hailed as heros.

Disabled and chronically ill people shouldn't be your inspiration porn. We don't exist to inspire you. We don't get to choose to be disabled and chronically ill. We don't get a choice on whether we keep going or stay strong. We don't have any other options.

Padma Lakshmi, Whoopi Goldberg, Halsey, Julianne Hough, and Tia Mowry are all celebrities who also have endometriosis and are much more inspiring to those of us in the Endo community than Lena Dunham who tells people that zoladex or lupron are viable options

I have SLE, so seeing Selena not letting it get in her way of doing her thing is rather inspiring, not to mention the fact that shes so open about it and wanting to spread awareness about it is pretty legit

Um, Nick Jonas' type of diabetes is NOT worth an honorable mention. Type 1 is the less common, but more serious, form of diabetes. Like lupus and psoriasis, Type 1 diabetes is treatable but NOT curable.
