Published on November 25, 2019, Jahmby Koikai's journey with endometriosis has been a long and arduous one, spanning over two years.

Despite the physical, emotional, and financial challenges she faced, Jahmby has emerged stronger and more determined than ever.

She is now planning to host a dinner for women who are suffering from endometriosis or have overcome the condition, dubbing them 'endowarriors.'

Reflecting on her experiences, Jahmby shared a powerful message of hope and resilience, reminding her followers that they too can overcome any obstacle.

'May this face remind you that YOU can OVERCOME just about anything,' she posted, accompanied by a picture of herself.

She went on to narrate the most terrifying moment of her journey, when her lungs collapsed twice in one weekend in 2016.

'I was reluctant to go back to the hospital and my mum insisted,' Jahmby recalled. 'I had another collapse yet my lungs hadn’t healed. I hadn’t even gotten the stitches out.'

Despite the overwhelming pain and uncertainty, Jahmby found strength in her purpose and vowed to keep fighting for life.

'I smiled with every doctor’s report I received, even when they thought I’d die,' she said. 'I have never complained even with all the botched surgeries.'

Today, Jahmby is a beacon of hope for women suffering from endometriosis, urging them to keep fighting and never give up.

'Don’t give up,' she implored. 'There’s a warrior inside you. You’re special. Not many can handle this kind of pain.'
