Description: This cute but evil uterus cartoon is inspired by my own lived experience of chronic illness. I suffered with endometriosis and adenomyosis for over 25 years and it often felt like my body was trying to destroy me. Expressing my frustration through art helped me to keep my sense of humour and stay sane. This would make a snarky but heartfelt gift for someone who is fighting one of these invisible illnesses – or for doctors and other medical professionals working in reproductive health, obstetrics or gynaecology.
