I am sorry that I was late earlier on. I could not get out of a speaking engagement. I thank the witnesses for coming today. It is very welcome that we are having this discussion in the Joint Committee on Health. Many of us, particularly the men, would never have heard of endometriosis. I certainly had not. I could hardly pronounce the word a number of years ago but I developed a better understanding from that audiovisual presentation four years ago and from friends who I never knew had this condition until they spoke up about it. I have met some really wonderful people in the last few years who advocate for better diagnosis and so forth.

My first question is on pain management. Obviously, there is a significant amount of pain associated with endometriosis. What is the bespoke pain management path that people with endometriosis normally take?
