Norman recounts how, as a college student and dancer in 2010, she was suddenly hit by excruciating pelvic pain, drastic weight loss, and repeated hospitalizations, only to be told it was a UTI, stress, or “in her head,” pushing her to withdraw from Sarah Lawrence. When doctors kept dismissing her, she took a job at a hospital, spent her lunch breaks in the medical library, and effectively self‑researched her way to a diagnosis of endometriosis—while still confronting disbelief even after multiple surgeries.
